The transmission has been acting up for a year its the 3rd transmission since i have had it and i really like the van it just has transmission problems. I had a mechanic look at it but he couldnt figure anything else but get a new transmission. I dont want to get a new transmission and have it get messed up again.
What else could be Wrong with it?
Now it doesn't run at all it will start up but when you put it in drive and hit the gas it just revs up like its in neutral. then i tried putting it in reverse and it just revs up. If i put transmission fluid in it, when i go to try it with the transmission fluid it just spits it out on the ground really fast.
What can I do besides get a new car?
is there anything else that could be causing the transmission to get messed up so many times?

you're likely perfect off replacing the motor vehicle. it truly is ten years previous and different issues will be going undesirable quickly, any way. The restoration for a foul transmission is to substitute or rebuild it. they must have replaced the Powertrain administration Module (pc) even as they replaced the transmission, because many times the PCM might want to tell the transmission to be in 2 gears at one time and burn it up. there have been updates made to the PCM to astounding the problem. If someone became meant to have replaced yours, and did not do it, AND it truly is nonetheless in assure (unclear) they get to fix it for you at their fee. If it truly is out of assure it truly is as a lot as you.

You really haven't given us enough information for an informed answer. If you have put in 3 junk yard transmissions, perhaps they were all bad. If you put in rebuilds, I would hope they had some type of warranty and would be fixed if they failed. If you bought new ones, they surely would stand behind them and make them right. Which was it?
I'd buy a new or rebuilt with a good warranty behind it, and be done with it.

I would say it has blown the torque convertor seal, not a hard fix but easy to damage the seal during reassembly, most transmission failures can be traced to overheating, make sure your oil cooler is adequate and working, if in doubt fit another.

Have a different mechanic look at it. Either the trans is seized and you need a brand new one from the factory or there is too much pressure on the gears to shift. Hope this helps
