The transmission was replaced at 223,000 miles, but beyond that nothing but normal wear and tear.
I love this van even with over 284,000 miles on it, it still starts first time every time. We get some pretty cold winters here in Wisconsin, and I don't plug the van in, but every morning no matter what the temperature the van starts right off. I will drive this van until it dies, but that end does not appear to be anywhere in sight.
You just bought this van in 2001? How do you know how many transmissions this van has had? We have put two transmissions in our and it's nickel and dimming us to death. Sorry, Steven, this is a money grubby vehicle. Gail.
I disagree with the above comment. It depends on the transmission you have. The three speeds of this generation of van were VERY reliable (I know, I have one). It wouldn't surprise me if it were the original tranny in there if it's a three speed. I would strongly doubt it's original if it's a four speed, however.
