    suddenly, when auto trans in 89 voyager 3.0 v6 is shifted to R it
    tries to go forward. Will only roll in N if engine shut off, tries to
    move forward in P, R & N. Goes forward and shifts just fine
    forward.

    Had a shudder in trans at start acceleration for a week before this
    happened. That is now gone.

    What could happen is a range selector out of adjustment or an internal
    clutch failed and dragging.
    Have you checked ATF level and condition?

    Yes, trans fluid full, and not burned look or smell. Probably not
    range selector, as the car seems to be always in forward, PRNDL, but
    not with full power, though will not roll backward in N without engine
    off. Seems to want to go forward less when in R. Still tries to go
    forward in P, but locked in trans park position. Car drives
    perfectly forward, shifts smoothly, etc
