In Reply to: OT- Dodge Caravan Auto Trans Problem posted by 135 Fan on February 10, 2011 at 17:22:21: You are right. I've had several 3.0's with the od trans. The sticky/rusty kickdown pivot has been the death of many of these transmissions. A little dab of used engine oil with an old paint brush on the pivot at every oil change will keep it working freely.

Thanks hillbillyjack. I have a 91 Caravan with 170k on original engine and tranny that had been sitting a few months. Then when I put it in drive the gas peddle was stuck.

THANKS for your post! Before finding your post I didn't even know what that linkage was for or how it turned.
