T/C van trans stuck in low gear

Mine did that a couple of years back. I'll look in the service pouch
and see what part they replaced tonight and report back tommorrow. I
believe it was the speed sensor. As I recall about $180 total job.

However, since they did that repair my cruise control has not
functioned properly. Slams back from coast with a significant drive
train clunk. Used to be nice and smooth. They ( dealer) swear no
relevance to what they did. But they would be more than happy to look
at it for me. Very coincidental.....maybe someone knows what the
cause is.

Does. The nomenclature changed in the mid '90s to comply with the SAE
transmission naming convention, but it's common and acceptably correct to
refer to all of the Chrysler-built 4-speed FWD/AWD automatics made after
1989 as "604-family transmissions", "604-derivatives" or simply "604s".

Loren,

I don't know what the code was, but she picked up the van today at a
cost of $576 ($500 part/$76 labor)The module replaced was the Trans.
Control Module. That's a hefty price, is that fair?
Thanks
Jay

Not really, no. Those modules seldom fail, and even if yours did,
