I have a Chrysler Grand Voyager XS bought recently, I have done less than a thousand miles of around town driving. It is having a problem reversing, no issues with driving forward. I can engage reverse but it feels as if I am reversing with a brake engaged. If I go gently I can reverse the car but I am keen not to damage it. I was trying to figure out if this is a handbrake issue or transmission issue, in diagnosing I found that if I move it from R to D and Back to R without moving it allows the car to reverse a bit, so if I keep doing that I can reverse a bit each time without the feeling of the brake, I have seen suggestions that it may be a sensor or a fault with the alternator that impacts on Transmission Control Unit, but not clear on how I diagnose that. I do not want garages to go on a "let's replace this that and the other" , I also do not want to pay a Transmission Shop a fortune if the issue can be resolved with a sensor. I am wondering if the car is engaging R and Park at the same time, I am not clear whether Park is applying a brake or a gear? Also considering an OBD2 adapter, these seem to be a minefield, from risky £7 chinese devices that report blow an engine management system, to £100 products that seem to be overkill. Can anyone recommend an good one that supports Voyager? Seen refererence 'key dance', anyone know what this is? Any suggestions on a way forward, I bought this car because my last Voyager had a problem with transmission that was beyond economic repair.

Car drives okay on cold however after transmission warms up it stops shifting at all. OBD Codes are: P0700 - Powertrain Transmission Control System (Mil Request) P0731 - Powertrain Gear 1 Incorrect Ratio P0730 - Powertrain Gear 2 Incorrect Ratio P0740 - Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Ordered Input Output speed sensors, will replace them first, what about torque converter clutch circuit how do i test that?

Hi I have a 2011 2.8 crd ltd auto fully loaded. I purchased this last year with 18k on the clock, and in a year it's at 42k , I've had it independently serviced, but transmission oil not checked, as its under the car. Recently it's started missing gears, and now more frequently it's getting stuck in first gear, with high revs. I've had it diagnosed at 2 different garages with P0734, P0792 and P1790 codes. The garage who are transmission specialists have said they need to strip the transmission and recondition all the parts at a cost of £1500 can anyone please advise if there is a simpler less costly option or do I go back to the garage. I need to get the car back on the road ASAP Regards Ran

Hello fellow owners. My automatic gearbox started malfunctioning. (Only 1st and Reverse would engage) Can you please help me to identify if the attached part actually belongs to the 2.8 CRD automatic gearbox?
