That's the first thing he checked when we made it home. It's good not burnt and full. Butjust about everything needs replacing on front end so when I hit the hole the van hit hard even though I was crawling to the stop sign

Someone said the CV joint could of popped out. He kinda checked just turned the wheels both ways and looked no obvious broken stuff, I did start it up and tried reverse nice shift backed up, tried drive went forward like normal. Going to try driving more tomorrow its not supposed to be artic cold anymore

Yeah so started up the van. It's not a CV joint, something with the tranny, it only stays in gear for like five seconds then nothing just revs up thru all gears then all of a sudden you'll get one, reverse drive low whatever one it wants and you'll move forward or backward . It also seems to switch gears better cold cause the warmer it got the worse it was and the longer it took to grab a gear. So anybody know what's up????

Fluids good, but I very much like the connector idea,cause it happened right after I found a big hole with my front right tire . Thank you for the idea
