Thanks for the awesome videos and making me laugh at your comments. I had to R&R a transaxle to replace a broken flex plate. I have a question though. I was going to swap out a transmission from my 2002 Town and Country 3.3lt into my 2007 Town and Country 3.8lt but the transmission from my 2007 has an extra electrical plug. What is that plug for? Thank you.

I have a '95 Town & Country III 3.8 V6 166hp. Ordered a tranny from a 3.3 low milage Caravan and now my workshop says it doesn't fit. Generally they say that, for this year model it'll be hard to find a fitting one (even from a 97' 98' 3.8 models). Can anyone tell me if it's true? Do non of any other transmissions work with my car? (I'm no mechanic, I just love that car and I didn't expect there would be so much hassle with it). I'm from Europe, so a typical junkyard won't work here.
