Chrysler Town and Country Transmission fluid change
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 04. 2021
- The transmission fluid on a Chrysler Town and Country should be changed every 50,000 miles or two years (whichever comes first). The vehicle takes ATF+4 transmission fluid when its changed. Changing the fluid also requires changing the transmission filter, which keeps the fluid clean. Performing this routine maintenance keeps the gears shifting smoothly and can prevent engine damage. This job requires only a couple of tools and about an hour of time.
Easy guide, straight to the point. Drained the old fluid, replaced filter, rubbed some ATF on both sides of the new gasket to make it slip in place. Cross tightened it, refilled 4 quarts and checked oil level with the engine oil dipstick trick (look it up).
The transmission now acts as new. It was slamming the gears between first and second, and was overall a little slow. Now it's a super smooth ride.
Don't believe the manufacturers saying how the ATF is for lifetime and don't have to be replaced. No oil or fluid lasts for ever in an engine. It's being abused in there.
Take care of your car, and it will last for a long time. Thanks for the video.
I have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan that I bought new. So it's nine years old at the time of this post. It currently has 20,000 miles on it. I do this service every year. My fluid is nice and clean. I believe in servicing my transmission regularly. It's an easy thing to do and can save you a lot of headaches by keeping the fluid and filter clean. The rest of my van is serviced like that. All fluids changed and clean at all times including brake fluid. I have a 1993 Buick Century that I have been driving for the last 29 years and it has been serviced in the same way. Change those fluids regularly and don't fall for that lifetime fluids B.S..
Which transmission fluid do you use?
Thank you!! I know almost nothing about cars, but I’m trying to learn. I’ll try this in my friends garage.
Me.....I would do this. It doesn't guarantee anything other than you have new fluid that works better than old fluid. I'm a believer of changing the fluid at least every 30,000 miles. As far as a dipstick.....There are videos on youtube how to use your engine oil dipstick to check your transmission fluid level. I have a 08 Lincoln MKZ and it has a drain hole and a hole under the air cleaner housing to fill the transmission. It also has a dipstick but according to the manual, your not to fill the transmission through the dipstick tube. It is restricted and takes a long time for fluid to go down the tube. I changed the oil in the Lincoln 2 times now and have had no problems. You have to be clean when your working with transmissions. The valves and passages have tight tolerances and dirt will affect their operation.
Very useful thank you so much 😊
thank you for this video
Welcome!
Good video. Except these vehicles are not equipped with a dipstick for checking the transmission fluid level.
Does the van need to be level. I couldn’t stop a trickle out the back with just the front lifted.
Thanks so much for posting this great video. I'm hoping to be able to do this myself. My trans pan is leaking fluid, probably from a bad gasket. (2010 Chrysler T&C but only 47000 miles - everything's leaking, probably due to lack of use by first owner.)
Anyway, the mechanic who recently inspected my vehicle says that "the other trans pan" is also leaking. Are there actually TWO? He referred to an upper and lower trans pan and told me that both need to be removed and components replaced (I assume he's referring to gaskets). However, he wants a LOT of money to do this service.
From this video, it appears I might be able to service the one pan myself by following this tutorial. What about the second trans pan? 🤔
Thank you very much and thanks for the excellent video!
Good video. Thank you
Do you happen to know what the relief valve is on top of the transmission. Right behind the line. You can pick it up and turn it 360. It looks like some sort of pressure relief valve.
WHAT YEAR IS THIS CHRYSLER?
Hi thank you for this video please what dipstick did you use
With engine at operating temperature, use the oil dipstick and the proper level should be between 1-5/8" to 2-1/8" from the bottom of the dipstick. There is a stop in the transmission service hole so the dipstick stops where it needs to for an accurate reading.
How much fluid did you have to add back
4 quarts or 3.78 liters
I have a 2016 town and country with 130K miles on it. I don't know if the transmission was serviced previously or not. Should I go ahead and service it or are the new ones like the old ones and it could be a death sentence?
Always ask a certified auto mechanic to avoid costly repairs
Yes, your transmission will thank you for it.
I have a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country doing engine work and are kind of disappointed to see these have not a god darn drain plug like the oil pan?????WTF?
Hello, what is the mileage of this minivan?
250k
Cuántos litros llevá
3.78 litro
What Size socket did you use to remove pan bolts?
8mm
Where's the dipstick? You didn't show it?
There isn't one. Just a cap that says "For Dealer use only"
What about the old fluid in the torque converter??
Too much work to drain that fluid. Hopefully the new filter will help in cleaning those remaining old fluid atleast
It seems 50/50 on changing the tranny fluid and leaving it alone. I had a tranny service on a 14 year old Buick and within a month the transmission went out. I need my Chrysler van to run forever but I'm afraid to service the transmission now with 148,000mi. I was changing the oil today and saw that the transmission pan may be seeping so I'll need to do something. I'm not sure ignoring it like all the older mechanics are telling me will work
I’ve always read that a drain and fill is perfectly fine, but an actual transmission flush at a shop is no bueno.
Flush is bad
What do you mean pull out the dipstick and check level? There ain’t a dipstick on these. 😂
What is the recommended fluid type for a 2013 T&C?
Castrol - Transmax ATF+4 , FRAM Transmission Fluid - ATF+4
@@jarsdaily6909 thank you so much, this thing has a leak
I have a 2013 also. How many quarts or ounces does one take if completely empty?
What year is this?
And is it the 3.3 or 3.8?
2010 and 3.8 liter engine
@@jarsdaily6909 thanks
@@jarsdaily6909 would this be the same quantity for a 2013 town and country? I have a 3.6 ( not 3.3 or 3.8)
@@freshmaker5 i'm not sure how much. But i did check the amount drained. Making sure i did not put too much
That doesn't look like a town and country van
First off why would anyone do this? Doing this on a high mileage transmission almost guarantees complete failure of transmission. Plus according to text you should check transmission fluid with a dipstick. This vehicle has no transmission dipstick
Ooops! My bad, ✌️
I change my transmission oil every 30,000 miles on all of my vehicles. NO PROBLEMS
I got 238k miles on my 2014 chrysler 300 and did a filter and 5.5 qt fluid change. The car runs smoother and has better response shifting. All of that old news from before about not changing trans fluid on an older car is fake news.
The failure comes when shoddy garages do a flush without changing the filter and cleaning the pan first. czcams.com/video/xxS5dij2fNw/video.html. You can buy a dipstick with a chart that will tell you how much fluid to fill it with.
Take care of your vehicle? Yeah who would do that
