Where is the output speed sensor located on a 1998 Plymouth Voyager(3.0L) transmission?

mob43311 — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 14:47:48 GMT

I am trying to replace the output speed sensor on my 1998 Plymouth Voyager (3.0L) transmission but I don't know where it is located. It would be easier if I could see a diagram that is dummy specific.

how do you change the light bulb on the 200 ply neon which lights up the transmission lever area.

How do you change the light bulb which lights up the gear shift position on the 2000 plymouth neon? Does the plastic cover merely pop off when forced?

Restoring 59 Plymouth. Front passenger drum brake locks - when humid. Replaced brake cylinders, lines. Why locking?

marty28 — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 08:30:22 GMT

The front passenger drum brake locks when weather is damp/humid. Has been doing this since I bought the car four months ago. Sometimes will correct itself within a few minutes, quite often not. Seems to be worse when I back the car up and apply brakes (back out of garage) and then go forward (does not lock in reverse though). If I back into garage and simply pull forward the next day, not as bad. Also, when brake is locking, the passenger side brake light does not work (otherwise, its fine). Spent well over a thousand already on brakes -- new cylinders, some new lines. No new pads though --mechanic says they look good. What could be causing this? What should I look to replace? Thanks.

When ever it rains alot the belt comes off. I put a new tension rod and belt but it tends to come off when ever it rains. It seems that the water gets under the belt and it slips off. Any way to resolve this.

Struts are completely rusted through on my 96 Plymouth Voyager. Got estimate of $4,000 to repair! What is the average repair cost?

lhalkape — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:57:27 GMT

All, my 96 voyager has 220,000 miles now and is still a very useful vehicle. A body shop estimated $4,000 to repair struts because they had to comply with some standard. What is a range of costs I should be looking at? My husband and I live in the Chicago suburban area and do not work on our own cars.

I have a 03 Plymouth Voyager. Paint is peeling from the roof and hood. Any suggestions? It's not covered by Chrysler.

jolie1 — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:46:38 GMT

The paint on my 2003 Voyager is all flaky on the roof and starting to peel in the hood. Chrysler want to pay 50% of the pill to get it painted. Its $1700.
I feel this is not my responsibility. I only have 42208 miles on my van.
Has anyone have this problem? i am reading on line of some other Chrysler owners that had the same problem, but it was back in the late 90's.
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thank You.

I broke the timing belt in my 95 Plymouth Voyager while driving. The engine is an interference engine. What are the chances I have bent valves? I'm leaning towards junking it because it has 230K on the odometer. It was running really well before the belt broke. Junk it or fix it?

What are some causes of engine noise on my Plymouth Grand Voyager?

darwinsti69 — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:09:44 GMT

i have a 97 2.4 liter 4 cyl Plymouth Grand Voyager and it has a ticking, tapping, noise from the engine. It is heard mostly at idle and runs a bit rough at idle. I have changed the plugs, wires, ignition coil, oil and air filter. Am i possibly looking at something expensive? It still gets great gas mileage despite the rough idle and picks up great.

2000 Grand Voyager - Car stalling, RPMs dropping too low

imamrcool — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:47:27 GMT

It will stall anywhere, driving or stopped, if I let go of the gas. The only way I can get it to not stall each day is if I start the car and turn the fan on and off several times, when i turn the fan on and off the RPMs move up and down. If I dont do this each time i start the car it will stall somewhere in my 20 minute drive to work each day. The car also vibrates like its about to fall apart when I hit 60 mph, probably a seperate issue. No check engine lights or any other lights. Had a transmission flush, and fuel injection service - still stalls. What could this be?

I have a 90 Plymouth Voyager, only 110,000 miles. It's been a great van but it has been sitting in my drive.

ruthworks — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 02:38:19 GMT

I have a 90 plymouth voyager....only 110,000 miles. It's been a great van....but it has been sitting in my drive for awhile, needing a gasline replaced. It has been very reliable.....with the exception of having to have the tranny rebuilt soon after I bought it...around 70, 000 miles. I have a newer car now....but I really hate to just scrap the van. Do you know where I might post on here that I could sell it to someone who might be able to use it...or someone who might want it for parts???

Plymouth Voyager AC compressor went

jrosa — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:10:36 GMT

I also have a 2000 Plymouth Voyager and my ac compressor went which I'm about to change. The problem I keep on getting is that the belt keeps on sliding off. I changed the tension rod and put a new belt a couple of times. And it always tends to slide off when it rains alot. Why would that be? Is there a way to solve that.

Possible transmission problems with 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager.

mhumphreys4 — Sun, 25 May 2008 13:59:34 GMT

I have a 1996 Grand Voyager (original owner)with 135,000 miles 3.3 v6
Recently I have noticed two problems:
Twice the van would not shift out of first or second gear.
both times I pulled over, shut off the van and restarted it.
that corrected the problem both times. Is this possibly the input/output
speed sensors going out. If so what should I expect to pay to have those
replaced?
The second problem is that we can sense a slight slipage in the transmission at around 40-45 mph. This is intermittent and sometimes occurs at slower speeds. The cruise still works and the transmission fluid has been maitained and is in good condition.
Can the dealer actually tell if this is the transmission or some other problem. If this is the transmission what should I expect to pay for a new one, not rebuilt.
