I have a 2002 Caravan with the 2.4L 4 cyl and the 3 -speed. It was one of the last Caravans made with the 3-speed since they made the 4 speed transmission standard equipment in all Caravans starting mid-year in 2002. The 3-speed transmission was also Chrysler built - nothing to do with Mitsubishi. It is a traditional non-electronically controlled transmission with bands versus clutches. Doug |
