Procedure






1. Raise vehicle on a hoist. Place a drain container with a large opening, under transaxle oil pan.

2. Loosen pan bolts and tap the pan at one corner to break it loose allowing fluid to drain, then remove the oil pan.

3. Install a new filter and O-ring on bottom of the valve body.

4. Clean the oil pan and magnet. Reinstall pan using Mopar RTV Sealant. Tighten oil pan bolts to 19 Nm (165 in-lbs).

5. Pour four quarts of Mopar ATF Plus 4 type 9602 for adding or replacing.

6. Start engine and allow to idle for at least one minute. Then, with parking and service brakes applied, move selector lever momentarily to each position, ending in the park or neutral position.

7. Add sufficient fluid to bring level to 1/8 inch below the ADD mark on the dipstick.

CAUTION: Do not over fill transaxle. Do not add oil if level is between: Lower holes for warm oil (100F). Upper holes for hot oil (180F).

8. Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal operating temperature. The level should be in the HOT region.

9. To prevent dirt from entering transaxle, make certain that dipstick is seated into the dipstick fill tube.
