I wouldn't trust a Caravan / Grand Caravan unless it was a 5 speed. Chrysler put out some craptastic transmissions for a while!

Getting a 5 speed to bolt into the windstart isn't as easy as stated above. The Tauruses with 5 speed transmission used a Yamaha engine, but the transmission on those would only bolt up to the Vulcan 3.0 IIRC.
