After driving the car for about 30-40 ams, I would get this thud coming from the gearbox and it would be locked in third gear after that happens, if I turn the car off and restart it would drive normal for a little while, went and change the transmission fluid, but no change, any ideas, fear it might need to replace the gearbox.

According to your words, I strongly believe you do have a problem with your transmission.to what you have up to now on driving and locked to a gear means there is a fault and the gear box gets into a Safe Mode to allow you go to a garage for inspection and repair. On by switching off and on driving is not the correct procedure because having that means you do clear the fault code (s) and run for awhile and back to the beginning. My skills advise just visit a qualified garage to use a Scanner in order to get the faults and repair.

SOURCE: transmission fluid change

More than likely, like most automatic transmissions, yours does not have an oil plug. You need to drop the transmission oil pan to drain the old oil... You need to buy a transmission filter/pan gasket kit. The filter is located on the bottom of the tranny. You will see it when you remove the pan. Replace the filter, thoroughly remove any traces of old gasket material, clean the mating surfaces, and reinstall the pan with the new gasket. Torque the pan bolts to the manufacturers spec (you should be able to get this where you buy the filter/gasket kit). Refill the transmission through the dipstick (Capacity for the Voyager is 4 quarts, make sure to use ATF Plus (Type 7176) for your particular tranny, NOT Dexron, Mercon, or generic automatic transmission fluid, Chrysler transmissions do not like any other kind and tend to fail quite quickly with the wrong fluid). Fill to the full cold level. Start the engine, move the shifter through all gear ranges, and put it back in park. Leave the engine running and refill to cold full. Drive the car for 5-10 minutes and, with the engine still running and the car in park, fill to Hot full. You should be ready to go!

SOURCE: Tranny wont shift into third gear.

you have to pull down the oil pan of the tranny. then take out the strainer inside attached to the tranny. dirt is clogging it making the sometimes shift and other not.

you are probably low on transmission fluid.
top it off by the dipstick while running in park. and you should be fine if it reads full, then your fluid needs to be changed or your filter is clogged. replace as necessary.if the problem continues after the fluid and filter have been changed then its time to have the transmission replaced or services.
good luck.

Mazda bravo b2600 gearbox growles and grumbles. cant select 2nd or 4th gear. 1st, 3rd,5th & reverse ok.

I am sorry to tell that the gearbox need to have some major repair. It is also not advisable to continue driving as the gearbox can breakdown completely leaving you stranded. At least one the cluster drive gears in the gearbox is damaged (gear tooth stripped off) that will result in that only some of the gears being able to be selected. The broken off tooth are still in the gearbox and due to the oil movement in the gearbox it can be "washed up " in between to engaged gears destroying those as well. This will happen up to the point where there are no gear selection at all.

Gearbox help 1993 bmw 325i AT

I may have a similar issue, it's hard to tell from your description. My transmission is in 'limp' mode with a fault light on the dashboard. It basically causes the transmission to lock into third gear. Acceleration is poor because you are starting out in third gear. I'll let you know if I sort it out. It could be the switch on the brake pedal. Others have had luck switching that out
