A chattering noise appears when I put the transmission in gear

My 1999 Chrysler Town & Country has a terrible chattering noise when it is put into gear. I also noticed that when you put the car into gear the actual engine will thrust foward or backwards depending on if it is in reverse or drive. The fluid levels show to be fine and no leaks are evident. It does seem to shift harder every so often but is not a consistently hard shift and is typically at the initial take off position. What might be causing the chattering noise.

Hi,
Sounds like a worn/bad/damage transmisison or engine mount. These hold the engine and trans in place and usually have a rubber part that can wear out.

Either a trans shop or regular mechanic will need to diagnose.

I don't know the cost.

TD

SOURCE: Transmission still shifts erractically

well if you have a lot of millage it could only be the gearpump in the transy thats finished,unfotuntly ...you cant really change -it without rebuilding the all transy
other than that you still can drive-it but try letting the gear go on by it self ,you could damage your van by doing that !! you mignt not have choice but if you do ...try not doing-it!

But I am afraid I can't tell you want all these codes mean for your car. It was probably not related to the change in fluid that was performed. However, it is serious and should not be driven until fixed. Risk of total destruction of the transmission is too great. I would assume the symptoms are so diverse that it may be a bad transmission control module. Which is about $200, and fairly easy to replace:

But there are other possibilities, such as a bad relief valve could be letting main pressure drop too low.
This is the type of thing which does require an expert and can't easily be done remotely.

What would cause my 1999 town & country not to move in any gear

Make sure that your axles aren't broken. If you have a broken axle the power would transfer to the wheel with the least amount of resistance (to the broken axle) therefore not propelling the vehicle. Also look at your fluid level and condition. It is possible that the transmission is slipping in which case you'd need a transmission/rebuild.

I notice that sometimes my 98 chrysler town an country jumps from 1st gear to 2nd gear to soon. Does that mean that my transmission is starting to go out?

If it is only happening sometimes, you should get your transmission serviced ASAP. If you do this you should be able to save the transmission.

On a 2001 Chrysler town and country the transmission will go in park, neutral, reverse and will drive in either drive, 3d or 1st gear. The problem is that it won't shift from 1st gear to second or third...

sounds like you are looking at a rebuild. chrysler transmissions need to be adjusted periodically by a qualified tech. if they aren't adjusted properly the results can be catastrophic.
