What could it mean when my 2000 Dodge Caravan has trouble going from reverse into drive?

I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan 3.0 with 140000K on it. We have noticed over the last year or two that during the winter, sometimes, we have a hard time shifting from reverse into drive.Today it's hot out and it did it again. What does this mean? Is the transmission going? Can this be fixed?|||you need to try servicing the transmission first by changing the fluid and filter in it and then see if that helps it,sometimes when the filter gets dirty on the fluid will not circulate fast enough through the valve body and that causes the hesitation your feeling on it going in gear,tell ever who changes the fluid and filter whats its doing and they,ll also know of other things to look for on it that could cause that too happen,its probably not going out but running it like that ist to good for it,good luck with it.|||If you've not had the transmission fluid and filter changed on it I'd want to start there bec it's more then due to for it, also when you do that have the transmission module put into the learning mode.








Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way don't forget to check the transmission fluid level that could cause it and if after you change the transmission fluid and filter on it and it still does that you'll probably need a transmission over haul.|||first things first...check your transmission fluid level. if the level is down below the add mark it needs to be filled.Go to your closest full service gas station and ask the attendant to check and fill it .the trans. has to be hot to this so go for a drive before you check it if the levels are ok, then either it needs to be serviced as in," filter and trans.fluid". dodge caravans are notorious for transmission problems you might need an overhaul in the end.
