well took the battery out of the 93 caravan. It made it's last trip to the lake and back and on the way back (425km round trip) developed a weird noise right under the driver's door. Almost sounds like a flap of rubber coming up and smacking the underside of the door/floorpan. Started to stumble on take offs and the tranny is shifting worse. The tranny shifts great but at times, it is like on a menstrual cycle <----no offence to anys girls/ladies/females here at all. Time to park it or give it away. Too bad as it runs perfect and had next to new tires on it.

for those who don't know the Journey is replacing this van and by the sounds of things, just in time too

Hi Rob,

Almost sounds like an Engine Mount let go which is a common replacement item on those vehicles. My daughter-in-law still drives a 94 Caravan on a regular basis. Its starting to look a little worst for wear now but it always gets her to where she's going. Since about 1998 they started putting transmission coolers in all Caravans and Grand Caravans which have elimated 95% of the transmission problems. Now the Honda Mini Vans are having transmission problems instead.

It took Chrysler many years to learn that you can't take a transmission from a K car and put it in a much heavier Mini Van without making a few modifications to compensate for the extra load, heat, etc. Now it's Honda's turn. My friend has a Honda Van and he's a little worried.

Hope your Journey arrives soon. Mine is on the train somewhere between Texas and Montreal.
