Transmission

Apparently, transmission leaks can start small, but if they get bigger, you can drain your fluid in a matter of minutes and destroy your transmission. The solenoid on these older vans is outside the transmission and can be replaced much more easily than the newer transmissions which have the electric solenoid inside the transmission. Expect 15 hours of labor... he said. A 6 speed manual transmission on a super duty truck with a built in solenoid would be 25 hours labor. Chrysler is notorious for solenoids that are susceptible to having transmission fluid leak into them causing them to need to be replaced.
