2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? 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 my Dodge tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Grand Caravan’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Grand Caravan's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 Grand 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Grand Caravan? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Grand Caravan, potentially causing transmission problems.
