The mechanic should check the third gear of the transmission . And the shift gear check the shift gear too for why it stuck while on the third gear. if the gear is worn out or destroyed then replace the third gear.Then also look and check the oil seal to make sure the problem is solved. then check and adjust the shift lever sleeve so that it will not stuck.

SOURCE: 2000 dodge caravan engine and transmission swap

Although the transmission may be siilar, the engine and supporting wiring harness, and control modules are not. This can be done, anything can, but it is probably more trouble than it's worth for a mini van. If this was a classic car then sure.

3,3 engine,changing side pan on trans what is trans fluid cap. 2000 dodge grand caravan.changing out trans fluid what is capacity of trans

if you choose to do it at home all you can drain out is about 40%. A shop machine will replace 100%. Just keep that in mind if you really want to preserve the trans since these transmissions are prone to high rate of failures. Number 1 reason trans fail is do to bad fluid.

Auto trans stuck in 3rd gear

You are probably in what they call "LIMP MODE". You'll need to have it scanned to see what is causing it, and please do yourself a favor, pay the money to have it scanned properly by a compotent mechanic, because if it's something faulty in the transmission, and you don't take care of it now, you'll could be spending $1000-$2000 or more in the near future. Remember, a scan doesn't say you have to let them fix it, and it isn't crazy to take it for a second opinion either.
