This is the only tutorial I've seen that gives you a relatively easy way to get to the bolts on the pan that are blocked by the exhaust without having to remove or loosen it so thank you very much... btw if you changed the title of the tutorial to something like "change transmission fluid Jeep jk without removing the exhaust" or some variation of that i think the video would have a ton more views... just saying thanks again
Thank you for the advice, appreciated!
100%.
I measure and add an extra 3-4 ounces to make up for “stick around” amount. Make sure you empty filter in there too. Suck out as much as possible through the dipstick first. They sell manual vacuum pumps on Amazon for like $15-20 that hold a quart of fluid, suck out and empty into a container, so when you take the pan off, minimal spill.
Good techniques
Lubelocker gaskets are the only way to go
Actually, factory gaskets ( OEM ) are the best.
@@Motorcarnut definitely not. And that goes double for the differentials.
I've had 100% good luck with lubelocker gaskets. Yes, they are the way to go.
Thanks for the input👍
No problem
Appreciate the info bro!
No problem 👍, thanks for the feedback
I remember when working on Jeeps were simple. Since Fiat took over working on these cars, yes cars Jeeps these days aren't built for off road or repairs. You need alot of tools to repair. Jeeps used to be built for repairs on the trail. Absolutely garbage anymore.
Actually, the newer Jk and JL wrangler’s are more capable than the generations of the past ever were. Of course they are more sophisticated today and not so diy friendly but that doesn’t mean they are not built good.
@@Motorcarnut as a lover of old CJs and Current owner of 2020 Roxor the wranglers of today are not built to handle everything that's thrown at them. I've been working on Brother inlaws 2012 and hate how complicated it has become. They are more mall crawlers than what older jeeps were made to do off the showroom floor. You have to spend a fortune to bring it up to par. Yes new jeeps ride better and ride better on freeway but that takes away from the off road side. New jeeps can't follow my 2020 Roxor without modifications( Roxor) more jeep than wranglers
@@Motorcarnut modern Jeeps of today after the first wrangler model are built for the road not off road. The driveshafts design is built for speed not flexibility. The older design is built for flexibility. As soon as u lift a wrangler it put extra wear on the boot design and burns away the boot. Too many mall crawlers than true off road jeeps anymore. Putting carpet and fancy stereos in wranglers says what they are built for.
3.8 is pre Stellantis
You don't have to Jack up the trans or take all that stuff off. Amazon sells a 10 mm Socket that has an integrated swivel that is low profile enough you to get in there with a quarter inch driver.
Thank you for that extra tip, maybe will help others!
Like to see that socket!!!
I gotta get one, need to dd my 2010,it had 64k miles, I swapped out 4 quarts of fluid, but I want to change the filter. I will use only OEM Mopar ATF+4 and a Mopar Filter. I do not see Mopar gaskets for sale, what do they usually use, RTV ?
@TheSchmed Yes
I'd never use gasket maker on auto transmissions.
I have with no problems, that’s what it’s made for.
So basically you're jacking up under the transmission to get those bolts? Would that bend anything in there to potentially ruin the transmission?
Just jack up on a solid piece of aluminum part of the transmission far enough to reach the bolts and you will be fine.
Absolutely brilliant, valuable info, wow, thank you 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it.
Jeep should put a drain plug on the transmission pan. Damn engineers..lol
Their reasoning is you have to take the pan down to change the filter and clean the pan anyway.
@Motorcarnut heck, you still gotta take it off to change the gasket anyways. Like the oil pan.
Did I miss it or did you Unbolt the transmission mount? It's sandwiched between the cross member and transmission
I just lifted it by the diff enough to get to the pan bolts without removing any transmission mount.
@@Motorcarnut Roger that. Wouldn't be a bad time to go ahead and replace the mount if it's needed, yeah?
@jpscout8002 yep, good time and not that expensive either
@@Motorcarnut by the transfer case?
Yes
Sorry man, asking so many questions, just trying to gather all the info before tackling this soon. What about the transfer case fluid? Do you have a video on that and recommend it? I know there is a drain plug and fill plug and i guess just fill it till it start spilling out the drain hole,, close it up and fill the rest of the fluid after reinstalling the pan through the dipstick?
It's a good idea to replace the transfer case fluid as well. Just make sure you can get the fill nut out before draning or else you will have a problem. On the transmission, just make sure its at the proper level hot before doing anything, then when you drain the old fluid count how many quarts you took out and put the exact amount back in, That will leave you just about full.
Yeah, use the rubber black gasket... don't use permatex.... Just use gasket tack to hold the gasket onto the pan...putting the pan on without a gasket is a huge mistake.... The gasket is there for reason.... permatex makes gasket tack.
Not true, gasket maker is used on almost all surfaces nowadays. If done right they never leak. Rubber gaskets distort, tear and come loose. Older vehicles may come with the older gasket technology same with cork gaskets.
What should you do if you find larger shards of metal in the pan? Fill it up again and hope for the best?
That’s the cheapest and easiest way. I wouldn’t trust the vehicle on long trips. Driving around town for a while and see if it’s ok before longer trips.
That's a lot of work just to change transmission fluid,I better take mine to a shop
Not really. If you have some basic tools it should take more than an hour or so.
Is the jku the same way
Yes
G’day mate, with these JK 2007-2011 Wranglers do they only have one model of auto transmission? I want to organise parts to service mine but don’t want to buy the wrong auto service kit. Cheers Steve.
Yes, from 2007 to 2011 it had only the 4 speed automatic transmission.
Just buy Mopar ATF+4 fluid and Mopar trans filter, you’re always safe with OEM parts and fluids.
This is true but there are good aftermarket options if a dealership is not close for some people.
@@Motorcarnut yes, I believe Mahle parts are rebranded for some Mopar parts.
That brand is good.
Its like youre making videos for me! Want to tackle this in next couple of months as mine is no longer red. I was confused is the filter bolts 25mm or something else? That wasnt clear to me. Did you replace the gasket or did you just wipe it all down and put alcohol to dry it off? If you replaced the gasket did you silicone a couple spots?
Thank you! Ok, no it’s a T25 torx socket. And I used the black gasket maker from Permatex, make sure tranny and pan surfaces are clean, don’t use the rubber gasket they supply in the filter kit, it will leak.
Did you add any black silicone at certain points like for the upper oil pan gasket or does it not need it?
Ohhh I see. But it looks like in this video the guy complains that permatex was used. Is he wrong? th-cam.com/video/HVsCIBBJWs8/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/xMWsQWcMcWY/w-d-xo.html would you say this is a good reference on how much bead to use?
Just add about 1/4 inch thick bead to the oil pan all round and install.
Is that a jk
Yes
