Are you ready to delve into the intricate process of overhauling a 2011 Jeep Patriot transmission? Join us at MacGyver’s Workshop as we take on this challenging task, step by step.
Once we identified an issue with the transaxle’s pressure dropping after reaching normal operating temperatures, we decided to pull the transmission out and thoroughly examine it.
Here are the essential tools you’ll need for this job:
- Transmission jack
- Drain pan
- Garbage can
- Support bar
- Magnet container
- Assorted sockets and wrenches
- Fishy magnet
- Right angle pick
- Long nose pliers
- Various ratchets and torque wrenches
- Brake parts cleaner
- Trim clip pliers
- Pressure gauge
Next, we begin the process by draining the transmission fluid, followed by the removal of the pan bolts and filter.
If you’re ready to get your hands dirty and gain valuable insights into transmission overhauling, stay tuned for the upcoming detailed video series.

What issue has the 2011 Jeep Patriot been facing?
The 2011 Jeep Patriot has been experiencing a problem with plummeting pressures in the transaxle shortly after reaching normal operating temperature. This issue has persisted even after overhauling the CVT (continuously variable transmission) due to a broken belt.
What tools are needed to pull the transmission out of the 2011 Jeep Patriot?
Necessary tools include a transmission jack, strap arrangement, drain pan, garbage can for tool storage, support bar for the engine, containers with magnet for holding nuts and bolts, fishy magnet for retrieving dropped items, right angle pick, long nose pliers, impact gun and assortment of sockets, trim clip pliers, manual pressure gauge, pry bars, wrenches, ratchets, torque wrenches, and more.
What steps are involved in draining the transmission fluid?
The process starts by removing the pan bolts, letting the fluid drain, and then removing the filter/screen to allow more fluid to drain from the transmission.
