My daugthter has a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan with the flex fuel engine. She recently started experiencing problems with the transmission.

After clearing the fault codes the following occurs:
first time you drive it shifts from 1 to 2. Will not down shift thereafter and always stays in 2nd gear.

Faults obtains are from an ODBII reader and are as follows:

1) P0731 gear ratio incorrect
2) P0700 tans control sys malfunction.

Tried changing the TCM. No change.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
