    Thank you. but um I have a question. the handle to my oil dipstick broke off and now my dipstick is stuck in there. Is there any way I could get that out without needing a mechanic. that you might know of, any tricks or something?
    Also I've already changed the speed sensors. now my readings are saying I need to change my gear shift ratio. it's a 2010 Dodge Caravan🙄 can you do a video on how to change that? Please? It's just so I know the process. Bcuz I don't like getting run over by mechanics. I like to know what the process is that they're doing to my car. Thank you 😁

  • @joeduncan
    @joeduncan Před rokem +1

    I checked and checked and didn't see it at first, however there is a rather large wiring harness and the cap is almost touching the wiring harness so the tube looks like part of the wiring harness. It is almost right up against the wiring harness, tricky little devils but probally for a good reason. Non the less it is there.

    Hi, my car shakes sometimes when i turn the engine on, when i stop at a red light or a stop sign. And now for the past two days the check engine light has come on. I just want to know if that could be related to a low transmission oil issue? Thank you

    • @mikef7822
      @mikef7822 Před rokem

      shaking engine at a stop or idle is probably a misfire.

  • @loualexander3408
    @loualexander3408 Před 2 lety +9

    Thank you for your video. I would comment on the way you pour transmission fluid from the container into the funnel. Usually, it is easier to have the bulging side of the bottle be at the bottom and the neck side be on top, when pouring, thus eliminating any spillage. I know you did not actually pour anything since the cap was on, but pouring without spilling is not a bad habit.

  • @tommason4702
    @tommason4702 Před 2 lety

    Thank you for the nice video. However, in my case, I have 2014 T&C and I see extremely thick and rigid wire harness with 3 branches is right over the cap and it is hardly visible and the harness is pushing right up against the cap and there is no room to unscrew it at all. Even if I unscrew it somehow, I am not sure if I can even stick the dip stick into it much less fill the fluid in through the hole. What a big bummer! Do you have any idea what I can do about this? The harness is so rigid it would not even budge so I am not sure what I can do.

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, there is a large electrical harness over the top, but there should be a gap there of (approx) a couple of inches. That harness should be attached to the side of the battery platform (cable ties/cable clips). Maybe yours is not connected and has dropped a bit? You do have to work around the harness because it's directly in the way, but it's not usually too toigh to do so. Best of luck!

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  Před 2 lety

      Your car will likely be FlexFuel, which means it can use E85 or regular gas with no issues. So yes, for FlexFuel cars you absolutely can use regular gas. Hope that helps :-) www.paypal.me/youwrench

    I bought a used GC 2010 and it’s under 100ooo miles. Should I take the chance and drop the pan and filter?

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  Před 2 lety

      Well the official recommendation is at 120,000 miles (or 60,000 is used for towing, or in extreme conditions). That said, many owners on the various forums would do it for good maintenance at around half that distance. So you could leave it a while longer if everything is smooth and good, or get it done now. There's no 'right' answer, a personal choice:-) www.paypal.me/youwrench

      Yes, there is a metal frame and the dipstick bottoms out on it. If you rewatch the video carefully it is expalined for you :-)

    I got universal dipstick then i guess i need bring lvl between 60 to 70 then when warm up engine on charger

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  Před 2 lety

      Yes, the principal would remain the same regardless of the brand of the dipstick. It is a measurement from the tip of the dipstick to the measurements outlined in the video. You just need to compare the measurements to what markings you already have on the universal dipstick. Hope that makes sense, and helps! www.paypal.me/youwrench

    Hi there. I just bought a 2019 Grand Caravan. I tried finding the tube to fill the tranny, but there is no tube, there is no cap. I searched and searched and nothing there. Dodge must have decided to make it impossible to check or fill it on your own after all the videos on how to check and fill. I think they are afraid of people not putting in the ATF+4 and possibility of ruining the transmission. Can you look into this and get back to me. Maybe they moved it, but I could not find anything anywhere that even resembled a place to check or fill it.

    QUICK QUESTION .
    If i check the trans fluid with the engine COMPLETELY OFF when i wake up in the morning , will the fluid level be WAY UP on the dip stick ? ..... i understand it needs to be done w engine running. BUT IF i did it on complete ice cold Never turning engine on ,
    Woupd the fluid on dipstick be WAY up ?? Just out of curiosity. . Hope u understand my question . Thank you .
    If i wake up, get out of bed and check fluid WITH OUT EVER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON .

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  Před rokem

      Yes, if you check without the engine running it will show that you have too much fluid because the fluid is not being pumped around the system and so all drops and settles in the pan. Correct, the level should be checked with the engine running. Hope that helps!!

      @@YouWrench so my transmission pan was seeping on my 2014 DGC sxt, and went to a mechanic to fix, which was diagnosed as a bad gasket and also replaced the filter and changed the TF fluid. drove for a couple of days, and just noticed a pile of TF all over my garage. I followed your video tonight for the hot side only, and found 65mm of fluid, which seems high. I will follow the cold instructions and report back, but is it possible to overfill a transmission? I read there is a vent that the fluid can escape from, which can leak onto you CC and catch fire. awesome.

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  Před 7 měsíci +1

      That's definitely not good. Maybe a bad seal or gasket. You will want to get that rectified as quickly as possible before it becomes a bigger issue. You may be able to visually inspect and see where the leak is coming from. If suitable, check out the transmission fluid and filter change on our channel. Hope that helps!

      There is likely no 'real' dipstick as such as Dodge design them to not have a dipstick. That said, you may be able to source one that would be used in a Dodge main dealer workshop. However, you can buy generic dipsticks to use, or follow our video guide and mark up your existing oil dipstick to do both. Hope that helps!

      Yes, that is correct. You can find a link on how to make your own DIY dipstick in the Video Description. You can either buy a dedicated tranmission dipstick, or add markings on the rear of your existing dipstick (as per the video linked in the Video Description). Hope that helps!

      It is mentioned in this video at 1:45, you can use the DIY dipstick (link in the description of this video) to see if your level is correct. If you are asking what the capacity is for this gearbox, then that is covered in our transmission fluid and filter change. Hope that is helpful.

I've not seen one yet without the cap and tube, and I've run a quick Google search and can't find anyone mentioning this as an issue, and in the workshop manual it's shown exactly as per the car in this video. This has me a little perplexed! Especially as you have checked 6 times, no way you could have missed it. I'll have to look into this in more depth when I get a little more time. Keep us posted here for the sake of others reading if you discover why this is.
