The good news is that you can repair it yourself. In this post, I will guide you through the process of repairing a transmission leak, specifically performing a pan flush and service on the transmission.
First, gather the necessary materials for the job. You will need Mopar ATF plus four, a pan gasket and filter for the transmission, as well as some basic containers for catching oil, a measuring cup, and some cleaning supplies. Additionally, prepare the working area by propping open the hood to access the dipstick for the transmission.
Removing the Cross Member and Transmission Pan
Start by removing the cross member that ties into the frame and then proceed to take off the bolts that attach the pan to the transmission using a T27 Torx bit. Allow the fluid to drain slowly and be prepared for a messy process. You may need to raise the transmission slightly to remove the pan successfully.
Replacing the Plug Adapter
Once the pan is removed, replace the electrical harness plug adapter and ensure it is properly sealed. Clean the surrounding area and the plug using a mass airflow cleaner and inspect the new adapter plug before installing it. Take the time to replace the filter and gasket, ensuring everything is clean and properly seated.
Refilling the Transmission
After completing the necessary replacements, it’s time to refill the transmission with the appropriate amount of fluid. Start with a measured amount and then run the vehicle to check the fluid level. Monitor for any leaks and ensure everything is dry and properly sealed.
