| Post subject: | Transmission fluid and filter change |
I'm going to do a filter and fluid change on my '03 liberty (42rle trans). I've got a couple questions... I've read a couple of threads that say I need a filter and gasket. Is the gasket a filter gasket? If so will I also need a new pan gasket as well? How much ATF+4 will I need to refill the tranny? Last question, do you just throw a funnel in your trans dipstick tube and fill from there, or is there somewhere else you can fill from? Thanks! Doc |

The gasket and filter are two separate items. The gasket seals the pan and the filter is inside the pan. Yup just place a funnel in the dipstick tube and fill her up. It will take approximately 4 quarts. However, that is not exact so add in small amounts and check the dipstick. I'm working on a write-up here that I'll send to you when I complete it. Also, your transmission might not shift correctly after changing the fluid. Mine didn't. Had a harsh 4-3 down shift. If that is the case you need to take it to the dealer or a trans shop and have them preform a "Quick Learn". A Quick Learn resets the CVIs (clutch volume indexes) and can only be down with computer hookup. Disconnecting the battery will not do a thing, the CVIs are stored in non-volatile memory. It takes less than a minutes to preform with the right computer. Most shops will charge 1/2 hour labor. According to the dealer its pretty common for this to happen after a fluid change and they preform Quick Learn as a standard procedure. Hope that helps. |
