Chrysler Repair: 2001 Chrysler Town & Country LXi, 3.8L Trans 41TE, 4 quarts, morning transmission


Question
QUESTION: 2001 Chrysler Town & Country LXi. 88k miles Transmission Problem: History Properly working transmission had oil change by evacuating from oil pan, 4 quarts refilled Dextron4. 1k mile trip (NY to VA Beach). Two weeks later, in normal traffic, an abrupt noise and bang. Check Engine light comes on. Car limps home slipping whenever stopping for a traffic light. Managing the throttle allows operator to make it home. When starting next morning, transmission seems to engage normally. With brake depressed, can attain stall speed of 2,200 rpm, same in reverse. After driving a short distance (100 ft), stopping, placing in reverse (doing three point turn), slippage occurs and a noise occurs; whinning, like an aerated power steering pump, but more metalic. Next day, starts, drives, goes through all gears while subject to light to moderate loads. Starts off from stop signs normally; no mechanical or pump noises, appears to shift normally; driven 1.5 miles. However, after placing in reverse to turn around, slippage and noise starts, then slips in drive, noise is notable in neutral as well. Shifting from (slipping) drive to neutral, engine rmp drops in neutral as if under some load. Fluid level proper, fluid condition good. No evidence of granular clutch material suspended in the fluid or burnt fluid. Oil pan then removed, filter can be blown through with breath in reverse direction without important restriction. Filter appears properly seated, is original, and it appears the pan has not been removed before. No debris in oil pan, magnet has normal build-up of metalic paste. Stored Codes in order displayed: P1782, P0733, P1787, P1784, P0732, P0700. No diagnostic pressure tests performed.
