Replace differiental fluid and tranmission fluid how to guide no chiltons available

I assume this is an automatic transmission? (Otherwise, you control the shifting...)

Your transmission gears might be worn. You should take it to a reputable mechanic.

Get a funnel and pour in dip stick,where you check it out,here's a link to the fluid.Check it while it's running and in park.http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/specifications/specificationsMain.jsp?childCatName=Transmission+Fluid+Type/Capacity&childCatId=21200280&categoryNValue=21299999&categoryNameForTitle=Drivetrain&categoryName=DRIVETRAIN&childCategoryNameForTitle=Transmission+Fluid+Type/Capacity

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.

if it has ever been driven low on tranmission fluid this could be a bad sign, check the fluid level, assuming it is and has been full this could mean your internal clutches are worn, and tranmission will have to be rebuilt or replaced, the color and scent of the fluid are good indicators of burnt clutches, if it is more brown than red, and smells burnt...thats bad news

are you draining all the oil or just whats in the gearbox?
nobody can say how much you will need to the last drop really
but you will need at least 6 pints then check the dip stick and runing the motor,,, keep filling till its a full box

check tranmission fluid is ok/ or replace with new / the plates in the tranmission need to be oiled to work

haynes, and chilton both print very informative repair manuals, both are available at most part stores for around thirty dollars!!!

There is a rubber plug that is actually the dip stick. You can check out you fluid level but you have to crawl under the truck and remove the plug and there is your dip stick it is only a couple of inches long.
