1988 Dodge Grand Caravan Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 Grand Caravan’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
