The last time someone mentioned flushing the transmission another person showed us a Chrysler bulletin showing they were against "flushing" transmission and power steering :shock:

Check the fluid level and then maybe read the FSM on how to force the TCM to relearn individual shifts :wink:

I have had my 06 F37'd since I drove it off the lot 3 yrs ago. Never towed, no ECM tune, now @45K. Noticed trans has occasional subtle slip or thunk/hard shift a couple times (3) in past month. No issues prior, should I flush and change filters prior to trip to SD and see if it improves, or do I have a bigger issue w/ TC? Thanks. Oh, no codes BTW.

I'm no expert but I believe that FSM is the Factory Service Manual, there is a link around here somewhere to be able to download it for free.

Great tips Joe, my Eco Jeep has not engaged properly on a cold park to R or D since I did a fluid and filter change. I have the 06 Liberty :wink: FSM :wink: CD, I just printed the "Drive learn instructions, will do the procedure when the wife gets back with the warmed up tranny.

When I first switched to 215-85-R16 tires the trans shifting was a little off. After taking it on work related trips where I piled up over 1500 miles in a couple weeks, the trans now shifts properly. FSM may have a way to train it faster than driving for two weeks and going over 1500 miles. Been too busy to even look it up.
