have scanned for trouble codes brown was probably burnt trans fluid ---either way was filter changed --if not probably clogged and or damaged -----but prognosis not good more than likely trans fried ---have evaluated by a trans shop or auto repair shop
With the van in park or neutral with e-brake on, and engine running, pull the transmission fluid dipstick, notice there's no fluid on the dipstick. Put a quart of transmission fluid in the dipstick tube, with e-brake still on, put the van in gear. R or D, and see does the van try to move against the brake. If it tries to move, engine speed drops, put it back in neutral or park and check the fluid level again. If it's still low, put in a little more till it's to the full mark.. Done. Check under the van and find the area where fluid is dripping out and fix it. If it's the pan gasket, replace it. Replace the filter while the pan is down.
You may have answered your own question. That weird noise may be either the trans speed sensor or the clutches in the trans. Get it ckd out ASAP . Ck the trans fluid (if automatic trans) (engine running/in park) fluid cherry pink or brownish/ burnt smell? If burnt trans needs help, may be late but only pro shop can help. GOOD LUCK, FRANK M
My first question is - have you had the trans filled with fluid ? If the fluid level is now normal, and you can't shift the gears, you may have damaged the main shaft inside the trans.
Be Sure the Fluid Level is TRUE to FULL, And if there has Been a LOT of MILES BETWEEN Services this Could be the Problem, I Have Seen this Many Many times, Where A Trans. Was Serviced and they Iether QUIT Pulling All Together, of Shifted Wild. After a Certain Point (With DIRTY FLUID) where the DIRT itself Played a Role in Keeping the Trans. Working fine. The Dirt Acts as a Sealer/SPACE Occupier. Sounds Wild But TRUE.
you might have a clog in the trans. screen you need to open the trans. pan after you drain it look at the fluid and see if you have to clean it see if it burnt or what you might just need to tune the trans new bands
Was the fluid you drained red or black? did it smell like trans or gear oil? With linkage disconnected, could you put trans in park by moving the lever on the side of the unit? Oil condition is likely a separate issue...most "blown" transmissions generally have normal operation of shift, it just dosen't do what you tell it to. two things likely going on are: linkage problem and likely in need of fluid/filter change.
Check the fluid level in the trans. With the engine hot, truck idling in park, make sure the fluid reaches the "HOT" range on the trans dip stick and it is bright red and doesn't smell burnt.
sounds like a linkage problem to me. but if you have changed transmission fluid I know newer models require mopar trans fluid. might want to check into
