“4th 1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager se transmission. No warning before complete transmission failure. Has 1st gear to about 15 MPH and then slips out of gear. No reverse no nothing. Van is sitting in my garage while I decide what to do with this giant boat anchor.”

Transmission has been rebuilt/replaced 3 times [2 rebuilds - october 2000 (cost: ~$1600) and april 2001 (cost:~$550); replaced with used transmission after last failure april 2003 (cost:$901)]. Computer controls (single board engine controller - sbec) went bad while traveling at night on interstate on a trip - caused cam sensor and crank sensor to go bad as well (cost: ~$550).
