Customer Question

I have a 97 caravan, low band in trans is shot. can this be replaced while transmision is still in the car. When I had the pan off to change filter I made adhustment and the car had some movement. Thought that maybe there was a way to change band. Don't have a lot of money and would like to fix, if possible, for my daughters to drive as a temp.
