I can only speak from my experience with the two Chrysler minivans I have owned over the years. Automatic transmissions are a weak spot in these otherwise very good vehicles.

My first one, with a 1992 with the 3.3 V6 and 4 preed automatic, I only changed the pan gasket, fluid, and filter. The first transmission went at 80,000 miles and again at 162,000. My second is a 1998 with the same engine and transmission. I have had it flushed it at the local quick lube place every 50,000 miles and now, at 134,000, I am (knock on wood!) still on the original transmission.

Is this what is doing the trick - who knows? I still change the Transmission Fluid the normal way in all my other vehicles and haven't had any transmission failures in many years. This collection includes a Suburban, Dakota, and a Celebity. At $100 for a flush, it is a lot cheaper than a trans.
