2001 Grand Voyager 3.3 Transmission Type

[jason1883]

Hi everyone,

I have a 2001 3.3 Grand voyager that has gearbox problems. The car is stuck in limp mode and speedo isn't working.

Have done the key dance and used a code scanner everything pointed to the input and output sensors. These were replaced and didn't fix the car. Also the fluid and filter has been changed with the correct mopar ATF+4.

When changing one of the sensors, I noticed fine metal filings on the end of the sensor. Beginning to think the gearbox is a dud.

Anyway, i have been looking on ebay for a replacement gearbox and the only ones that seem to show are saying they are for 2004-2007 cars.

My question is, What is the difference between the 2001-2003 and 2004-2007 3.3 grand voyager gearboxes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no difference, at least according to the Autodata version that I use and I believe it, nor between grand Voyager and Voyager (strictly under the bonnet talking).

 

Hope it helps.

Think you should check why speedo isn't working. May be the issue

Speedo not working, does the car move as in in is it driveble.

Try the speed sensor, I don't know on yours but on manual is at the inner end of one of the driveshafts.

If the problem is like my 2001, 3.3, then it drives fine but only in second gear, will do about 40mph, I'd guess?

Yes the gearboxes are the 41TE through all the 2001 up to 2007 shape change.

 

The speedometer is read from the output shaft sensor, which you've replaced hey Jason.

 

Mine did this a couple of years ago, but the code was "no communication TCM to PCM" 

 

Highly unlikely to be a gearbox if it still drives smoothly, albeit in one gear, and reverse, as the solenoids do the gear change and are told what to do by the Transmission Control Module.

Of course until this scenario happens when the second and reverse still select as they are a manual movement. Are they quite abrupt when going into these gears Jason?

And no, I never got mine sorted. Tried extra earths on the gearbox, unwrapping the wiring underneath in front of the gearbox as there is a common corrosion fault in there, tracing and belling out the wiring between the 2 units TCM under the passenger wheel arch / PCM in front of the fuse & relay box. I was going to try a 2nd hand fuse box in case it was the circuitry in that but didn't come across a matching one cheap.
