thank you for the comment Jeff. i was doing this for a friend so i didn't know what i was getting into. i was thinking it can't be that hard and worst case scenario if i drop the pan and it looks like a nuclear reactor in there i would put the pan back on and tell him i couldn't do it. but that wasn't the case.

Hahaha! Been there brother. I actually used to work at Daimler Chrysler ITP4 (Indiana Transmission Plant) in Kokomo In. and I can tell you that the standard Chrysler transmission design leaves a lot to be desired. They've been plagued with recalls and short lifespan issues for many year and you have to keep em as clean as possible to maximize life. They'll serve you better in the long haul. But looks like you did a great job with it.Cheers, man!

thank you Carlos.

thanks for the comment oracle wisdom

thanks for the comment Alvaro Marval.

thanks for the comment Wayne Lingrell. did you watch the video completely? part of the video is how to check fluid without a transmission dipstick cause it dont have one. go to minute 20:33 for further details.

@@elh4x4doinstuff49 I must be missing something but I didn't hear the engine running while you were checking the oil after your drive. Maybe you did have it running. I will take it that you did.

thank you for the comment Jeff Ohnstad.

thanks for the comment GareNY.

thanks for the comment Davy Crockett. i think you are talking about the filter seal. sometimes they come with the filter.

thanks for the comment Shawn. no need to warm it up, transmission fluid is pretty thin unlike oil.

sometimes it comes with the filter. it is called a transmission filter seal. thank you for the comment Carlos.

Thank you....❤❤❤❤

thanks for the comment N Huff. it is called a bearing race and seal driver purchased from harbor freight

thanks for the comment Rick. i think the owners manual recommended 60,000 miles, the vehicle had a little over that, not sure wasn't mine.

thanks for the comment Paul. did you do a generic google search for this info or did you actually search for the only engine option for this vehicle a 3.6l? 10 foot pounds is the torque spec. so you are a whopping 1.25 foot pounds off. be careful you don't under torque the pan bolts you wouldn't want the pan to fall off.

thank you for the comment Cardo Yousif. i used the sealant to hold the gasket in place. the gasket that came with the pan ended up leaking in a couple of months of use. i would use a trusted gasket like Fel-Pro, something like that. some silicon gasket material requires some curing time.

@@elh4x4doinstuff49 was the gasket a cork gasket? if so you never use sealant on a cork gasket,, just found this out from a 30 yr transmission builder., not sure why, but I think the sealant stops the cork from saturating and therefore then lot allowing fluid to leak past.,., just a theory, but the trans builder told me hes seen them leak more times than he could count when sealant was used on a cork gasket.

thanks for the comment. check out some videos on bolt extractions.

thanks for the comment John, it's kind of hidden behind a wire harness..

thanks for the comment Zayden Blakeslee. i put it all the way in the tube.

thanks for the comment 361punx, i used RTV

thanks for the comment Matt and kat Christie. it was explained in the video

@@elh4x4doinstuff49 i watched the video. The van wasn't running

did you watch the whole video, I never said it was running, here is the long explanation. the van doesn't have a dipstick for the transmission. how do you check it. well, i know that there were no leaks from the transmission, i can put engine dipstick in the tube to measure it but it won't have marks on it for proper fill height. i can do a base line measurement with the engine off and take note where the fluid was on the dipstick after i ran it off camera. dump the fluid and add the recommended amount of fluid to the transmission and run it off camera shut it off and measure the fluid level and match it to the base line. take the old fluid and fill up the empty containers as a third layer of checking the proper amount of fluid. you are not the only one, but a lot of people get hung up on doing a procedure as if it is the only way to do something. i took an unknown measurement of the fluid using the wrong dipstick and made it work.

@elh4x4doinstuff49 ok sorry I get it now

no worries, appreciate the dialog and once again thank you for the comments.

thanks for the comment Keith Smith. the fluid is specific for the vehicle. the parts store told me the capacity. not my vehicle, so dont know if it is a cv trans.

thanks for the comment Nolann's Auto Detail. you would know if you watched the video i say how many at minute 19:15.

thanks for the comment Troy Davidson. i used the Permatex Ultra Black in a can

thank you for the comment Yuriy Zemlyak. Пожалуйста

thanks for the comment Chris Hamilton, at minute 13:14 through 13:25 i clearly state 80 inch pounds then retorque to 120 inch pounds
