Your Manual should tell you if not then depending on what transmission you have. this should get you close then you can top off after getting it up to operating temperature.

SOURCE: changing from 98 2.5 man.tranny,to 01 3.9

WOW. You want to put a 3.9 ltr V6 from a 2001 Dakota into a 1998 Dakota with a 2.5 ltr 4 cylinder? And you want to keep the manual trans? Have you considered what you will be using for a fuel and engine managment system? If you have a wrecked truck as a host vehicle then the changover may work. But it will take patience and a lot of work. I don't think the 4 cylinder trans will bolt up but I am not sure - never tried that. However that light duty trans will probably not handle the torque for very long even if it did bolt up. Your local Auto Salvage Yard will have a changeover guide and be able to tell you if that trans will fit either engine. My recommendation is to swap everthing and change that 98 to a 01, auto trans and everything.
Good Luck
Let me know how it goes?

SOURCE: Just want to know how to change ATF and how many

Usually from the transmission there should be a drain plug to drain the old fluid. Look in your owners manual for how many quarts of fluid it takes. Or go to any major auto parts store like Auto Zone and you can ask the employees there to look it up on there computer just tell them what you need and they will also need like the year, make, model of vehicle and engine size i e.. V8 V6 etc etc and auto or manual transmission.

Good Luck!

SOURCE: how many quarts of ATF, when changing the old ATF?

If you have a library card you can log into your local library view "Chilton" Manuals on your make and model, and I believe they also have "Motors" Manuals available.

Type of tranny fluid I have no owners manual

All Chrysler products (dodge caravan) require "atf +"
in your case being a 2003 that should be type ATF+3
I would recommend using ATF+4 as a just in case measure as it will be perfectly compatability with (and better than) ATF+3 if that's what is currently installed.
The Trans in the 03 caravan takes 11 total quarts. This includes torque converter. If you are doing a simple fluid and filter change than start w with 5 quarts as will still be full. Absolutely under NO circumstances use dextron/mercon (gm) OR ATF type F (ford). Hope this helps.

Transmission shifts sometimes

You ned to be absolutely sure that the transmission shop used the PROPER ATF fluid! since Chrysler needs Chrysler ATF+3 fluid to behave properly. ATF+4 is a newer fluid and can be used if ATF+3 isn't available. Plus, you need to be certain the shop really changed the whole contents of old fluid, since about 45% of it is inside the torque converter, requiring a complete FLUSHING, not only replacing the 5 quarts from the tranmission pan. That is about 9 quarts in all.

How many Quarts ATF wo/converter

4L60 transmissionService change only - 5 quarts.

Total refill - 11 quarts.

Because you actually are mixing the 5 new with 6 quarts of the old, if your fluid is old you might want to change it and then drive a few minutes and change it again to get more new fluid mixed in. You can get a total flush at an oil change store. (for a price).

WHEN IM DRIVING, IT POPS OR JERKS ALL OF A SUDDEN AND THEN WONT SHIFT GEARS. WHEN IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND IT DOES THIS, IT WILL BARELY GO 55 MPH.

Your transmission fluid is dangerously low (tranny is dry). The pops & jerks are the transmission
internal components trying not to seize onto each other due to lack of lubrication and/or overheating.
Low transmission fluid leads not only to loss of lubrication but lots of overheating (of the tranny).
The loss of Elantra performance (speed tops out at 55), is caused by power loss due to friction inside the transmission. All your power is lost overheating the transmission (toward destruction), instead of
being transmitted through the transmission to the wheels.

The 2004 Elantra takes Hyundai SP-III Automatic Transmission Fluid, with 8.4 quarts used in a
total refill - but just 5 quarts at a fluid change. For How-to transmission fluid change instructions:

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Hyundai-Repair-815/2004-Elantra-GT-transmission.htm

www.autozone.com claims that 2004 Hyundai Elantra can take these non-Hyundai ATF's:
Lucas Semi-Synthetic Multivehicle ATF
Pennzoil Muilt Vehicle ATF
Valvoline Maxlife Dex/Merc ATF
Castrol High Mileage ATF

98 toyota camry transmission service.

You can drain and fill your trans. It will take 2.5 -3.0 quarts of DEX III trans fluid....goes in the fill tube. Or you can get said transmission flushed which changes all fluid including torque converter.....about 15 quarts. Way more thorough.
