1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Questions & Answers

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Grand Caravan is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Grand Caravan's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1998 Grand Caravan’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Dodge's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Dodge Grand Caravan leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Grand Caravan, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Can I still drive my Dodge Grand Caravan if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Grand Caravan if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
