I was backing out of a parking space, on a bit of a slope, and when I shifted into Drive, it wouldn't engage(in any gear) and started making awful noises. Even in Park, i continued to roll down the slope. Initially I thought it was the transmission, but when I looked under the rear end, I saw and heard, that it was coming from the drive shaft area. The towtruck driver looked when he got there and said it looked like it was the rear end($1000?) I need to know how to replace/repair the drive shaft, and the rear end assembly.I'd just as soon go to a junk yard, get the parts, and do it myself. I'm just not really familiar with this van, as far as repairing it goes. Anyone know where to look up repair manual instructions, for free?
If your rear axle is turning freely while the transmission is in Park you definitley have a problem.
You could probably find the parts (drivehaft and rear axle) at a junk yard for a few hundred Dollars. It will most likely be cheaper to swap out the broken parts for used parts in this case.
Changing out the rear axle and driveshaft is not that hard, just make sure you get the correct year/model replacement parts from the salvage yard. Also make sure you (try) to get the same rear axle gear ratio otherwise your speedo will be off. Most junk yards can answer this for you as some are more common than others.
Free instruction manuals are HARD to find Save yourself a lot of frustration and pick up a repair manual from a parts store. There's a few out there like Haynes, Chiltons, Mitchell.
