2005 Dodge Caravan Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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 it is. Defying your Caravan towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Caravan transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 Caravan’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
