excellent and complete explanation of repair not often seen with other videos. I honesty wanted to yell at you to check if welded fill tube was leaking culprit.
I feel your pain. Been down that road a time or two but happily, it all worked out. When I find myself going down that path, I always go back to square one and walk thru what I did along the way. Usually pays off. Great video and I applaud your patience...and determination!!!
The biggest problem i saw was the gasket sealer. When you tighten the pan the sealant gets inside with the fluid and can cause problems down the road. Overall, great video and thanks for showing me whay not to do. Im prone to these types of mistakes.
For anyone who also had a busted Fill tube: the Dorman 921-129 on Amazon was only $36. I just installed it, it wasn’t that hard, and it’s definitely worth doing. The reason they break is the top bracket is welded on the tube from the factory. The Dorman replacement is crimped around the tube with rubber in between, so it can be moved/rotated around the tube, thereby getting rid of the rigidity that causes the tube to break.

Wow. Im Definitely not a mechanic but this video helped me tremendously. After the 3rd attempt I was asking myself was it the fill tube. Thank you. Now on to my project
Awesome video. Definitely very detailed. Funny how I ran into the same problem I was doing the oil change and saw the tube was broken . I ordered a new one for 36 bucks.
If you ever saw a Nissan with a CVT it is the same since they used the same CVTs. Even that filter is the same. I found that changing that filter all by itself makes a huge difference in smoothness. My 2017 Rogue has the plug in the pan and it uses the same crush washer as the oil plug which I thought was really nice. If I had no plug on the pan I would get an extractor and run that down the dipstick tube. Just make sure that what you put in there is clean
That was great I tell you these jeep patriots are a pain I’ve been buying parts the past two years fixing the car it has new everything next is the abs module giving me problems and a cylinder 3 misfire these should all be recalled with all the reviews I’ve been reading great job on the transmission flush

good step by step video ....reasons for pan leaks #1: deformed pan by previous owner or shop due to incorrect or excessive tightening (maybe impact tools )#2:use of sealants that dry to fast given no time for the pan bolts to be tightened ...or 3: a poor quality gsket ( rarely) ..
When the pan leaked the 4th time, I was no way!! I could feel your frustration 💯. After welding the fill tube "and I was thinking this before your problems " JB weld around the weld just for backup. You wouldn't believe what I've fixed with JB weld I've fixed side cases on motorcycles that I couldn't get clean and stuck, farm equipment.
If the cv joint was accidentally removed and fluid was lost. How much fluid was actually lost just from removing one CV joint? 3-4 quarts, maybe? Thanks....
I had a pretty good idea from the beginning it wasn’t the pan leaking lol. First off the leak came fast & hard, not something you usually see from a leaking gasket like this, especially several times in a row using a gasket sealer. Next to that, your biggest clue was it was happening too fast. For the pan to leak, you would have had to put in at least 2 quarts to get enough oil in the pan to reach the seam to start leaking anyways. But hey, thankfully you figured it out before you lit the damn thing on fire in a fit of rage lol.
@@jeffhumes Hey we’ve all been there, and anyone who says they haven’t is either lying or doesn’t work on cars lol. & it’s always the most obvious, simple, little things that hold us up and turn a simple fix into an all day job.

If the transmission is pulled out of the vehicle, or the torque converter is fully drained then you will need 7.5 quarts. A simple drain and fill: 5 quarts +/-

Hey so I have a very important question? So I am currently about to change my transmission fluid on my 08 Patriot 2L engine. I have everything to change it but I’m unsure on if I should because on the owners manual. It says to change it at (200,000) km and I’m currently at 224k or so. Would the transmission slip if I was to still change the fluid? How much was your km at when you changed it? Please help me.
If you take your cvt jeep to a mechanic , they will only change the fluid. Even the dealer will only change the pan screen filter if they find metal shavings. NO ONE will change the upper paper filter. Unfortunately that upper paper filter is VERY IMPORTANT to change. Even if nothing else was done here, JUST changing the upper filter would make a big difference in transmission operation, even with dirty fluid. The fluid will not cool or flow properly if that paper filter is clogged.
If I had a nickel for ever youtube video I've seen where the person randomly finds a broken transmission tube randomly in the engine bay I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
