SOURCE: 2001 Dodge Stratus Transmission Problem
COULD BE LOSS OF ALL TRASMISSION FLUID, BROKEN HOSE, BLOWN PUMP,BURNT TRANSMISSION RINGS( HOW DID THE TRANNY OIL SMELL?) BURNT TRANNY FLUID OR A COMBINATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE. IF IT JUST QUIT, YOU PROBABLY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WILL REQUIRE A REBUILD OR A SALVAGE TRANSMISSION FROM A LOCAL WRECKING YARD. THE LATTER BEING THE CHEAPEST AND AT TIMES THE BETTER DEAL ALL AROUND, TIME WISE AND MONEY. VERSUS A REBUILD THAT REQUIRES NEW PARTS, BANDS, PUMP, SEALS AND ON AND ON PLUS HOURS OF LABOR TO FIX EQUALS ONE BIG BIG BILL!BEING A 2001 A TRANNY FROM A WRECKING YARD ISN'T GOING TO HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT EITHER SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND SOME PRETTY DECENT ONES. THAT'S THE ROUTE I'D GO, BUT YOU'RE FREE TO CHOOSE EITHER CHOICE. I DON'T ENDORSE OR CONDEMN EITHER ONE, JUST POINT OUT THE GOOG AND THE WEAK IN EACH FOR YOU TO DECIDE! GOOD LUCK! IF I CAN HELP REPLY TO: ARCLIGHT1217
SOURCE: I CHANGED MY BATTERY, NOW MY CAR WILL NOT IDLE
on dodge/chrysler products, when you replace the battery and start the engine, you have to manually hold the idle up with gas pedal for a few minutes so the computer can relearn. it will eventually idle.

No, As Most Automatic Transmissions DO NOT have DRAIN PLUGS, You Must Remove the Transmission OIL PAN to Drain, Done this way Because When it is Drained it It Is FOR Servicing the Unit, This entails
1. Remove Pan w / Fluid And CLEAN PAN
2. Remove and Replace Trans. Filter
3. Be sure Gasket Surface IS CLEAN VERY WELL On Pan AND Transmission
4. Install Trans. PAN With Gasket Carefully
5. Refill Trans With Recommended Transmission
Type and Quantity of Automatic Transmission FLUID.
Usually Approx. 5-7 Qts.
SOURCE: Our 2001 Dodge Caravan seems to be leaking oil around drive shaft
Yes it's a bad seal and most likely the side bearing to the trans axle is bad too. Once the bearing has play, it vibrates and causes the oil to leak though the seal. Note: if one side went bad the other side is soon to follow since they have the same amount of miles on them. Might as well change both side. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep an eye on the transmission fluid level, don't want to burn out the transmission.
