Trans advice for a '95 Caravan

I had one of those trannies and i know alot of people that have had problems
with that year range of caravan. the design of the electronic shift control
was bad for those years. If it is possible get a newer tranny to put into
it. Chrysler pretty much knew about the problem which is why they probably
opted for the rebuild instead of replacement. do you have a lemon law in
your area, you may want to check that out.

We took the kids to school and it was shifting fine then on the way home
it quit. Then a few days later it started shifting again. Drove it a few
miles and it would come out of low gear. It will go into reverse fine and
pull forward sometimes and sometimes it wont. What should I do.
