The issue with the Astro Van Transmission is that GM uses two differnet brake bands for 2nd and 4th when they put it togeather. These bands are so close togeather in size that the aftermarket assumed they were the same and just used one size fits all in their kits. I have a friend who had this issue with his 1/2 ton tow vehicle, he would up clearancing the 2nd gear band by grinding down the pin that pulls it closed, then selling the truck quickly. I'm thinking diesel Touareg, but a Cheyanne would be cooler, use a Porsche to tow my BMW :P
