- Do you need to Service the auto transmission on your Dodge Avenger (2008 - 2014) but don't know where to start? This video tutorial shows you step-by-step how to do it!
Our Dodge Avenger (2008 - 2014) manual covers petrol and diesel engines, and includes videos for some of the most common jobs, which you can see here in this playlist. Get the full manual haynes.com/en-...
What's covered:
Chrysler Sebring 2007 - 2010
Chrysler 200 2011 - 2014
Dodge Avenger 2008 - 2014
The Chrysler 4-speed automatic transmission has a dipstick.
Instead of dropping a pan full of ATF making a mess you can use a fluid extractor thru the dipstick tube which drains most of the fluid from the transmission pan before you drop the pan.
This saves a person both a mess on the ground and getting bathed in transmission fluid.
I bought an electric fluid extractor off Amazon for under $25.00 that pulls the fluid out then drains it into your empty bottle.
I have a Dodge Journey 4-cylinder engine with this same 4-speed automatic transmission, and it works great, no mess and no need to dump drained fluid from your floor pan into a bottle.
Also, When I bought the aftermarket drain filter it came with an actual gasket which I used instead of the RTV that you must scrape off each time plus wait for the newly applied RTV to set up before you can tighten the transmission pan bolts.
No more waiting and no more old RTV to scrape off each time I service the transmission.
Awesome simple video straight to the point. Only thing that would be helpful would be what size the bolts are and exactly how much fluid is needed for specific vehicle. But good video thank you.
I’m having the worse time trying to figure out where the pressure sensor transducer is. Can you do a video on that please I’ve been at it for 2 days and I can’t find it anywhere
Perhaps too late for my contribution; nevertheless, do not tighten the bolts to 19 ft lbs like the video suggests, otherwise you will damage the threads. Torque is on 40TE 12 nm, on 41TE 19 nm or 62TE 6nm.
I am assuming follow the same guidelines as the oil pan?
Thank you for that important info.
Wow thats much easier than i thought itd be
It's a video dude.try it yourself and see how easy it is.For starters...they don't show that you have to remove the plastic shield under the car first just to access the transmission.
@@djsi38t wow that def would help.
@djsi38t Luckily for me, my plastic shield got ripped off when I accidentally ran over an armadillo 💀
I need 2 know what the transmission is like when pulled out, because I need to replace a little transmission solenoid piece. Any help? Like I took off the pan already, but the solenoid is located inside of the transmission. I need to know if I'm disconnecting anything if unscrew pieces
Look up a video about taking the transmission out
I would like to know too if u have a link, heard u just have to change the computer and it should work or update the computer and it should runs like new.
@@Platinumtag sounds like you need a mechanic bud
@@tbonepumper5623 mine was fix by replacing faulty computer .
Your solenoid isn’t inside for an avenger
Do I have to hand tighten til rtv sets then torque them in?
Perhaps too late for my answer; nevertheless, yes and do not tighten the bolts to 19 ft lbs like the video suggests, otherwise you will damage the threads. Torque is on 40TE 12 nm, on 41TE 19 nm or 62TE 6nm.
My 2013 3.6 v6 has no dipstick. Only a port that says dealer use only.
You can’t buy in Amazon
Yeah, the V-6 models use a German made 6-speed transmission that has no dipstick.
You must buy a special dipstick then follow the fluid measurement guidelines that come with the dipstick based on transmission temperature, a real pain and time consuming compared to Chrysler's 4-speed automatic.
You put the dipstick thru the dealer use plug for both measurement and filling the transmission.
What type of filter is that, I need to replace mine on my 2012 Dodge Avenger se 2.4 engine
Go off the bolts count how much you have and then check out the new parts one of the transmissions have less bolts
Could you tell me the address of your auto repair shop in Los Angeles? My car is this type of car. I want to test the transmission and change the transmission oil ~
Would this be the same for a 6 speed?
Same procedure, different pan shape. 👍
Where’s the fluid censor?
Having trouble unsticking the pan
May be a couple days late, but if you have access to a small deadblow hammer you can give it a few light taps on each corner of the pan to get it loose.
2013 3.6 Avenger has no dipstick. So now what
Look up changing on 3.6
Only torque it down to 8 foot pounds or else it will leaks I learned the hard way doing it to 14 foot pounds with torque rench if your a teen juts do hand tight and a quarter turn lol
Not 19 ft lbs U Will Mess The Threads Up And The Bolts Will Just Spin In The Reciever Threads
^ On the trans pan bolts, 19lb/ft is erroneous. Might be a misprint/bad info in the Haynes manual. We tighten M14 spark plugs to that spec. Not M6 trans pan bolts.
8-9lb/ft or 96-108in/lbs usually does it. Won't squish or damage the gasket; won't damage threads. Hope this info finds the masses watching the video.
Also, 4-cylinder motor shown in the video. Same service procedure for the 3.6L V6, just a different pan size with a deeper sump. I recommend folks do the trans fluid every 30-40k miles depending how they drive. It can keep a $4-5k transmission alive 2-3x longer. I have tons of proof come through my shop... 👀 😎
@@TheTexican05 I bought my Daughter a used car with 99k miles. Do you think it's too late to change the transmission fluid?
@@brandonGCHACHU Not at all. Just use the correct spec fluid from Valvoline or Castrol per that year, make and model. IF the fluid is super dark, do the first drain and fill, drive it for 100-500 miles, then perform a second drain and fill. Only 1/2-1/3 the total fluid volume comes out during these services. Use a high quality pan gasket and filter if your application requires pan removal.
19 foot pounds of torque....
Perhaps too late for my answer; nevertheless, No. And do not tighten the bolts to 19 ft lbs like the video suggests, otherwise you will damage the threads. Torque is on 40TE 12 nm, on 41TE 19 nm or 62TE 6nm.
