Hi all,


I have a problem with my vehicle listed above SE model.
10 years ago the shifter nob (transmission shifter) got loose so i can't get it into any gear.
It happen again now and the mechanic i used back then is no more so i can't ask him sadly.
Any one who can link me to some information about this problem?
Repair guide or more information about this problem.
I need to get the car transported to my new mechanic but he never tried this repair before.
So to understand what the problem is.
The manual gear shifter stick inside the car got loose or broke it's connection to the gear box.
I hope that make sense what i mean.
Thanks a lot.

Hello Lui,

Manual transmission? We don't show that here in the states. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your replay.
A video ? You want me to take a video of the gear shifter stick ?
The car is not take apart yet. It's just the gear shifter that got loose from the gearbox somehow.

We have never seen a manual transmission in a dodge caravan before and our dataset does not show it? I can help fix it but I will need uploaded images of the problem.
