Question
We parked to shop, and upon leaving, the car would not shift gears, and the speedo not working - - both at the same time.  Called one dealership, and was told it could be a 'transfer switch' or major trans overhaul. Where is this 'switch' and as an old mechanic, can I replace it myself?  We love our car, but are on a limited income.   Your service is great! Thanks! This is a 2000 Dodge Caravan.
