Dodge Caravan transmission slipping when braking at stop sign after front trans axials replacement on Dodge Caravan

Problem overview

Some Dodge Caravan owners report experiencing transmission slipping after replacing the front trans axles, often due to low transmission fluid levels that hinder proper gear engagement and power transfer. Others have noted issues with the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC), where rough idling at a stop may smooth out when shifting into neutral, indicating a potential lockup mode problem. Additionally, some owners find that changing the transmission filter and inspecting input/output/transfer case sensors can help alleviate clogs or faults contributing to the slipping. Transmission-related error codes such as P0731, P0733, and P0734 are also reported, signaling the need for diagnostic checks to identify specific issues. If transmission slipping persists, many owners recommend seeking a professional inspection from a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist to accurately diagnose and resolve the underlying problems affecting transmission performance.
