hi all 99 dodge caravan 4cyl 3 speed auto. wont shift into reverse unless warm. has trouble shifting into 3rd anytime slips. if let off gas it *may* shift into 3rd. if downshift to 2nd goes right into 2nd ok. replaced trans filter and fluid. inside transmission was clean old fluid looked good. in reading the repair manual about the only other user service i can do is adjust the bands. will adjusting the bands help what does the band adjustment do actually both reverse and 3rd use the front clutch. the rubber seals in the clutch might be hardened and shrunk this allows a loss of pressure when cold which improves a little when the fluid warms up and the rubber softens. there is a reverse band but its not used in 3rd. adjusting the bands sets the proper free travel which increases with wear much like brake shoes. an adjustment might help reverse but the only thing that will cure the hardened seals is replacement or an additive that softens the seals. great response! thanks. kpg .
