2003 Dodge Caravan Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Dodge? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Dodge Caravan? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Caravan’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Caravan is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Caravan's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 Caravan’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Dodge, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Caravan? Yes, your Dodge Caravan can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Caravan ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
