HAVE REPLACED FOUR TRANSMISSION ON THIS MINIVAN. TRANSMISSION IN VAN IS CURRENTLY SHOT. WE HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE POSITION OF TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO PUT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION INTO THIS VAN OR NOT. THE VAN IS CURRENTLY IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE (OTHER THAN ADDITIONAL LISTED PROBLEMS). THIS IS A VEHICLE WHICH IS BEING USED BY OUR COLLEGE AGED SON AND IS NEEDED BY OUR FAMILY FOR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM COLLEGE AND WORK. WE ARE DISTRESSED THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO REPLACE OUR FIFTH TRANSMISSION IN THIS VAN. WHEN WE CONTACTED A DEALER ABOUT THIS VAN WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A "JUNK TRANSMISSION WITH A VERY POOR REPUTATION". WE CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP???
