My 1990 Dodge caraven with 3.0 engine served me well for about 450,000

My wife was just telling me yesterday how her mother used to have a Dodge
Caravan until the transmission failed. She got it fixed, then it failed
again. Then she replaced the whole vehicle... with another Dodge Caravan.
The transmission failed up on that one, too - at which point she gave up
and bought something else.

I've had Caravans and Voyagers, 4 total, early to mid-80's vintage.

They all had tranny issue's at one point or another.
GENERALLY the tranny problems (in the last 15 years) can be almost
eliminated if the fluid is changed often enough with the right fluid.
Once every 15000 miles, or maximum 2 years, is about right.
