What exactly is it that your trying to do, replace, repair , diagnose?

transmission clutches bad for third gear operation. needs trans overhaul..

Sounds like it may be an issue with the transmission. It may need to be rebuilt or replaced.

Safe mode as in it won't shift past 2nd gear or something similar? That means there is a transmission problem and you need to get it serviced or replace the whole transmission. It could be as little as an input sensor but can also be a fault with the internals.

1992 --think its time to call the scrap yard as the cost of a repair is more than the vehicle is worth

your shifter cable is going bad.

My 2003 dodge caravan would not start after driving about 1/2 hour. I stopped for coffee and when got back in to start it started I switched gears and it stalled. I tried to start again switched gears then it started but only for 2 sec. No clicking, no cranking sound just would not start but battery functions were great. Spent 2 days with a mechanic who could not resolve so sent to Dodge. After a day of putting wires back and checking out the problem they said it was the computer. Said that it was bad and could be replaced at no charge due to malfunction. Yes, it worked fine afterwards no more problems. They also said that some of the computers are found to be defective like this one so I hope this helps you in the right choice to have the dealer check it out if you are unable to get a computer reading and there is no obvious short in the system. Free sounded very good but as you know there is no such thing as really free as they got me for other things $350 worth. ouch!
