This transmission service saved my cvt in my patriot. I was unable to take long drives and heard a loud whining. I also went into limp mode after the transmission overheated several times. New fluid and filters completely resolved this issue.
Nice to hear! Exactly what I'm dealing with with my Patriot. How is it holding up today? Is it still going strong? I'm a bit worried about my jeep since I just got it and I'm having these problems. Thank you!
I’m having this problem with my 2008 jeep patriot I’m doing what this guy did on the video Saturday morning myself hopefully this fixes my jeep I can’t drive far with mine
Even if the pan gasket is an OEM from Jeep or an after market one, it is important to use a dedicated low torque-wrench to properly seal the CVT fluid pan.
By far the most thorough and helpful video I've found for changing the transmission parts and fluid for my Jeep - thanks so much! Headed to grab a few items and getting to work on this exact setup!
So I happened to come across your video I’m helping a friend out and I was changing the left lower control arm so long story short it pulled out the axle and I lost cvt oil not sure how much so I’m gonna follow your video looks spot on also got a sub thanks 🙏🏽
Hi there. I live in montreal and called a few car parts store for the transmission cooler filter that you replace above the transmission. None of them are able to find the part. I was wondering where did you purchase your filter?
I got my Automatic Transmission Filter Kit, PARTS MASTER TF1233 from Perry Auto Laval but I don't remember if I got the CVT oil (fluid) cooler filter from them. I don't keep all the bills. This filter was used for some years in Jeep, Dodge, Nissan and Mitsubishi CVT2 Transmissions. The dealer sells it, but, it is also sold to online.
@Mltcarguy I have a question. I am planning to do this, but hesitant on what cvt fluid to buy. According to my manual, I should get Mopar +4. However, i noticed that on rockauto, there is a valvoline full synthetic fluid. Will it be ok to use the valvoline full synthetic? Thinking it might be better since it's synthetic. Still, I'm debating if it will be a bad idea since the leftover mopar might mix with it a bit.
Based on Valvoline documentation it should be compatible. Full synthetic or synthetic is standard with the aftermarket CVT fluids. If the CVT transaxle is not fully rebuilt , the torque converter still contains CVT fluid. Some fluid lines also contain residual CVT fluid. If you are hesitant you should buy Mopar products to feel confident.
As always , great video, clear and straight to the point A+ I’m doing this procedure on my 2011 Jeep Patriot 2.4L AWD this weekend. Is the upper cylinder filter still in the same location for this newer model? I noted you mentioning a bypass valve was installed post 2009. There’s surprisingly very little information on the upper filter
No idea since I have been doing the maintenance and my repairs for more than 50 years. If you have it done by someone, make sure it is a certified mechanic with transmission expertise.
Great tutorial, your level of detail is the best! Would you know another way that is "good enough" to get the ATF temperature? I have a OBD2 scanner but it seems to restrict the ATF reading unfortunately. The transmission overheats when driving on the highway in hot weather and I like to try to replace fluid and filters. I already have the trans dip stick but the temp reading is proving to be a pain. I've seen others just use ambient temp or a laser probe but was hoping to do better than that.
No, the way to know the precise temperature is to use a scan tool with the live data to get the readings from heat sensor in the transaxle. A simple OBD2 reader does not have the live data output. A new strainer, a new filter and fresh fluid should solve the problem if there is no other problem with the transaxle, the torque converter, the fluid cooler and/or the radiator.
Hello, I am hoping you can help me. I am reading 55 mm on my cvt dipstick, for both, 100°F and 140°F. I am confused because I drove it for 30 minutes to let it heat up, and it is still the same reading. I wiped down the dipstick 4x on each reading. Am I doing something wrong? I use the obd scanner to read the temperature. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure I fill it correctly. It is way overfilled right now.
If the dipstick was properly positioned to measure the level in hot condition, I think the transmission was probably overfilled. I would pull out some fluid with an oil fluid extractor and check it again to make sure the level of the hot fluid is under the max hot graph line based on the fill graph temperatures.
Hello the set up of the transmission of my jeep Patriot 2014 sport utility does not look like this. Do you know where the cylinder filter is located in a 2014 model or of it has one?
@@Elmoloves th-cam.com/video/LFXmAqknR6M/w-d-xo.html Привет! На своем Jeep compass 14 года менял масло в коробке 2 раза руководствуясь этим видео. Всего доброго!
@@Elmoloves I don't know the quantity, but in your 2014 owner manual, page 523, section ''MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE'' Automatic Transmission (Six-Speed), it is printed: We recommend you use SK Energy ATF SP-4 Transmission Fluid.
good morning. congratulations for the explanation that is done really well. I have a jeep compass 2.0 petrol from the year 2014 and a CVT gearbox. I use it mainly in the city, in your opinion how many kilometers it is advisable to replace the oil and CVT transmission filters? Thank you.
The following text was also added in the description section to help other people. In normal driving condition without any CVT problem, I would follow the Jeep Maintenance Service Schedule (200000 km or 120 months). If the CVT fluid level is too low or too high during normal driving, air bubbles are introduced in the CVT fluid and can create overheating and oxidation conditions. Overheating is a basic cause of CVT fluid degradation. This can be followed by fluid contamination, sludge and varnish build-up that can damage the CVT transaxle. Note: The temperature of the transaxle is properly adjusted and maintained with the CVT fluid cooler that is linked to the radiator via the Air-To-Oil cooler lines and Water-To-Oil tubes. So the radiator must also function properly to manage the temperature of the CVT transaxle in normal driving conditions.
200000 км это слишком много. 60000 км замена жидкости и фильтров. Если передвигаетсь с прицепом или нагружаете трансмиссию то можно раньше. Замена или ремонт агрегата стоит дороже чем замена масла и фильтров. Здесь ничего сложного.
good morning, can you tell me the model and brand of the dipstick that measures the oil level of the CVT gearbox. I remind you that I have a Jeep Compass 2.0 cc. 156hp Thanks for the kindness.
I got the dipstick from my local autopart store years ago and the part number is not on the part. It is also easy to find and buy it online with key words like ''Jeep Patriot CVT transmission dipstick''. Note: Instruction sheets should be provided with the dipstick.
HELLO........So i have been in contact with Autel on this scan unit they do not know which model you have. Can you please enlighten us???????... they say their units do not do fluid Temps.
My model is the Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802. If I can read the fluid temperature like I explained to you 10 hrs ago it means that the Autel sales people do not know their product enough.
I used an old Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802. They should know that the scanner can read the live DATA from the Transmission Control Module (TCM). To read the data with the MD802 model, connect the scanner to the DLC connector (ignition switch to ON ) // select Scan // select USA // select Chrysler // (message (initializing + Please Wait) // Under Chrysler header, select: 1 Start new session // Under Information header, follow instruction: set the ignition switch to ON (position 2) and select (OK) // (message initializing + Please Wait) // Under Main Groups header, select: 2 Control Unit // Under the following Main Groups header, select 1 Powertrain // Under Powertrain header, select: 2 TCM transmission Control Module // (message initializing + Please Wait) // Under Function header, select: 4 Live Data // (message initializing + Please Wait) // Under Live Data header, scroll down and find ATF Temperature. Click on the selection box of ATF Temperature and click on (SELECT) lower section of the display // (message initializing + Please Wait) // Under the Live Data header, you should be able to read ATF Temperature and see the temperature of the transmission fluid.
No, I never had to replace any Jatco CVT transmission solenoid. If you are talking about the solenoids of the valve body assembly, you can refer to this link for basic procedure (PDF document): f01.justanswer.com/dcraig1000/37b663ef-7d79-4647-9257-700b20f664c2_eee.pdf Note: The original ROM in your valve body assembly should be kept and reinstalled if a new valve body is installed.
Hello. I am writing to you from Italy. I found his tutorial very interesting but the mechanics of my city only perform complete replacement of all the oil inside the CVT gearbox by means of an electric pump. The mechanics say that replacing just 5 liters is useless and would also dirty the new oil, creating possible transmission problems. In your opinion, is it better the total or partial replacement as you did?
1: In the Jeep Patriot Owner Manual (section) Perform Maintenance at 120 months, it is written to change the automatic transmission fluid and the filter. An electric pump doesn’t change the CVT Fluid filter like asked by Jeep 2: (02:42) When a CVT fluid pan is removed, it is possible to check if there is any debris and/or metal shavings at the bottom of the pan and on the two magnets. (04:13) It is also possible to see if there any sludge by looking at the valve body surface. An electric pump doesn’t show or remove for sure if present, the debris or/and, the metal shavings or/and the sludge on the magnets or other parts. If any residual particles or sludge is left in the pan it can mix with the new CVT fluid. 3: The old CVT fluid (1.1L) contained in the torque converter cannot be emptied and will eventually mix with the new CVT fluid, even if an electric pump is used. If there is a lot of sludge in the pan not shown during the electric pump procedure, it is possible that some sludge be present in the torque converter, this could be anyway a possible future transmission problem. 4: Some transaxle channels, fluid lines and cavities still contain some old residual CVT fluid, even when using an electric pump. 5: As for example, there is 1.1L of old CVT fluid in the torque converter and some quantity in CVT channels, fluid lines and cavities. There will always be some ratio of old CVT fluid mixed with new CVT fluid, even with an electric pump. This is the difference between the Jeep estimated service fill and the overhaul fill capacity (8.1L) including the torque converter. So, based on these facts, I personally do not consider that using an electric pump is a total replacement. 6: Some ‘’rapid oil & fluid replacement shops prefer to use a pump system because it is easy to do and they don’t replace the CVT fluid strainer. Finally, if your old fluid is in good condition and your CVT transaxle pan is clean, there should be no problem with the pump procedure. It is also a cheap way to replace the CVT fluid. Even if my method is more complicated, I prefer it because it also gives me the opportunity to inspect the CVT pan, replace the CVT fluid strainer and replace the CVT Fluid Cooler filter to avoid any possible clogging.
Good morning. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation provided. I believe that here in Italy the washing of the gearbox is carried out with an electric pump, additive to dissolve encrustations, disassembly of the cup and replacement of the filter. But the work is obviously expensive, around 500 Euros. I prefer his work because as I understand the residues of dirt for the most part are deposited in the cup and in the filter is it right? My Jeep has 91,000 kilometers and 8 years of life. The mechanics technicians advise me not to change the oil as you did but I don't know whether to believe them as they think about their own earning interests. I am very undecided on what is best to do. Didn't you have any kind of problem afterwards? how many kilometers have you traveled?
@@andreadanone4682 Hi, to make sure there is no bad terminology descriptions or information, I have some questions. You wrote your Jeep was 8 years old, so your vehicle could be a 2014 equipped with the TigerShark engine paired with a 6 speed transmission PowerTech 6F24. 1: Can you confirm that your vehicle is equipped with the World Engine (gasoline) paired with CVT Jatco JF011E automatic transmission? 2: Is your Jeep a 2014? 3: Is your vehicle Front Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive? 4: In your last text, you wrote ''not to change the oil as you did''. I never changed any oil, do you mean CVT transmission Fluid? 5: What is the name of the additive they put in the transaxle and how do they remove it from the transaxle since CVT fluid must not be mixed with any other products? About your concerns, I never had any problem with the transmission and I drove around 10000 Km.
Hello. Yes, I can confirm that my vehicle is equipped with the World Engine (petrol) 2.0 combined with the Jatco JF011E CVT automatic transmission and it is from 2014. My vehicle is front-wheel drive. My questions certainly relate to CVT transmission fluid.
@@andreadanone4682 I looked at the 2014 Jeep Patriot Owner's Manual and your maintenance schedule should be (whichever comes first),12 years or 192000 km. Personally, I would wait if there is no problem with the transmission and if you are not using your vehicle for police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer towing as per Jeep requirements. Also, I did not find any detailed videos on-line describing the Jatco CVT fluid change as you mentioned, so I can't verify the information you were told by your local technician.
If a local mechanic recently (6 months) changed my transmission filter (in pan) and the pan gasket while draining and filling new fluid but didn't do the top filter, can i just change that filter myself without draining from the bottom or is that not possible. I mean to say, will it leak out all the transmission fluid or not really it's safe to do and i have nothing to worry about with minimal fluid loss?
I have never replaced the CVT fluid filter without changing the CVT fluid. But, I think that if the CVT fluid filter is located higher than the pan and some fluid lines (channels), only a minimal quantity of CVT fluid should be lost from the CVT transmission. Personally I would try it, but you should look for a second opinion from a car mechanic for safety. If you perform the work, according to Jeep instructions, the CVT fluid cooler o-ring must be replaced with a new one. The new filter is normally sold with a seal. After when the parts are installed, the level of the CVT fluid should be checked and CVT fluid added if required.
hi can you help me my jeep is 2012 model 4by4 it was running very nice until i started today and when it was not miving i put the scanner and it shows a code p0007 pressure solenoid stucked b, how can i fix it please help me
If the trouble code indicates the real problem, the valve body assembly can be replaced by a new one or a known good used one or a certified rebuilt one. The original ROM in your valve body assembly should be reinstalled to avoid reprogramming. Refer to this document; www.transmissiondigest.com/jf011e-re0f10a-bench-tips/ for more information if you want to fix your transmission.
Personally, based on the Jeep Maintenance Service Schedule, I wanted to replace the fluid after 10 years or 200,000 kilometers because I planned on keeping my vehicle as long as possible. During the last years, I checked the color of the CVT fluid on 2 other Jeep Patriot with about the same kilometers as mine. On one vehicle the color looked not that old like ''green-gold'' and on the other one the color was ''dark brown''. Both vehicles were used in normal conditions. In any case, It is good to follow the Jeep maintenance service schedule. But, if the fluid is too dark or foamy with small bubbles or sludgy or contaminated, the old CVT fluid, the strainer and inter-cooler filter should be replaced. It is very important to find the root cause of the problems and fix them to reduce the risk of having CVT problems in the future.
Based on Jeep documentation 7L (7.4qt) is required when only the fluid and the filter are changed. But when I measured the quantity of the old CVT fluid, I collected, it was about 5.3L (5.6qt). I added close to 5.7L (6qt). So far the level is okay and the transmission works fine. I did buy 7 quarts but I used only 6.
now thats thinking ! use a Infared thermo meter ! much easier and quicker and less tech than a scan tool >> common sense prevails . now if these bastards would just spend the extra coin and install a dip stick !!

Personally I would try it, but you should look for a second opinion from a car mechanic for safety.
If you perform the work, according to Jeep instructions, the CVT fluid cooler o-ring must be replaced with a new one.
The new filter is normally sold with a seal.
After when the parts are installed, the level of the CVT fluid should be checked and CVT fluid added if required.
What is the part number of the filters?
CVT Filter kit PARTS MASTER TF1233 & Filter ATP B-429
hi can you help
me my jeep is 2012 model 4by4 it was running very nice until i started today and when it was not miving i put the scanner and it shows a code p0007 pressure solenoid stucked b, how can i fix it please help me
If the trouble code indicates the real problem, the valve body assembly can be replaced by a new one or a known good used one or a certified rebuilt one.
The original ROM in your valve body assembly should be reinstalled to avoid reprogramming.
Refer to this document; www.transmissiondigest.com/jf011e-re0f10a-bench-tips/
for more information if you want to fix your transmission.
When removing front driver side cv axle fluid came out, is this cvt fluid?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Yes ! Normally the level of the CVT transaxle fluid should be checked after this procedure and CVT fluid should be added, only if needed.
Thank you Sir!!
My Jeep Patriot has 150,000 you think it’s still good to do it if I haven’t done it ?
Personally, based on the Jeep Maintenance Service Schedule, I wanted to replace the fluid after 10 years or 200,000 kilometers because I planned on keeping my vehicle as long as possible. During the last years, I checked the color of the CVT fluid on 2 other Jeep Patriot with about the same kilometers as mine. On one vehicle the color looked not that old like ''green-gold'' and on the other one the color was ''dark brown''. Both vehicles were used in normal conditions. In any case, It is good to follow the Jeep maintenance service schedule. But, if the fluid is too dark or foamy with small bubbles or sludgy or contaminated, the old CVT fluid, the strainer and inter-cooler filter should be replaced. It is very important to find the root cause of the problems and fix them to reduce the risk of having CVT problems in the future.
How much fluid does it take for changing?
Based on Jeep documentation 7L (7.4qt) is required when only the fluid and the filter are changed.
But when I measured the quantity of the old CVT fluid, I collected, it was about 5.3L (5.6qt).
I added close to 5.7L (6qt). So far the level is okay and the transmission works fine.
I did buy 7 quarts but I used only 6.
@@mtlcarguy thanks
👍 thanks
now thats thinking ! use a Infared thermo meter ! much easier and quicker and less tech than a scan tool >> common sense prevails . now if these bastards would just spend the extra coin and install a dip stick !!
