Remove the bolts around the tranny pan, leaving the forward two or three in but loose. The seal is RTV so it will stay on until you break it loose. Once the pan is loose and the fluid is drained off a bit, remove the two or three remaining bolts and the pan. The filter snaps into place on the valve body. Pop the filter loose, more fluid will fall, and clean the pan and sealing surface. Reinstall the filter, use RTV sealer on the pan and reinstall. The only real danger to be aware of is the four quarts of fluid splashing uncontrollably on you as you break the pan loose. I hope this helps.

It sounds like the converter may be failing.
SOURCE: transmission noises from a 2000 dodge caravan 2.4L
normally should take 6-8liters when empty.If it is making those noises keep a tow truck on speed dial.Dodge does not make a very strong transmission.Could be that you just need the bands adjusted but I suspect you either need to rebuild or replace it
SOURCE: were to get free Owners Manual of 2000 Dodge Dodge Caravan 3.3L
Solution #1:
Contact a Junk Yard / Auto Salvage Yard and see if they have any 2000 Dodge Caravan 3.3L there. Ask them how much (if anything) for a Owners Manual. It will be the cheapest and fastest way to get one. All on-line sites have a charge far more than what is available at a Junk Yard. Some owners of Junk Yards will give them to you free, especially if you tell them you will use them for future purchases of parts. This will also tell you which Junk Yard has parts available for future parts.
Solution #2:
Mopar ATF plus 4
OR
ATF plus 4 Type 9602
