Well done. I didn't know you could get a gasket, I didn't want to use RTV. I'm doing this in the spring now. I heard you can use the oil dipstick and measure it about 2" (if memory serves). There is a video out there that shows that being used.
Is there a pan you can get with a drain plug like I did on my 95 zj? I'm about to take my 3.6 2018 awd journey in for 60k (m at 65k now)service (just cause Temps just hit 30s). Was only going to do transfer case and rear diff. I'll do trans myself in the spring.
Thank you. You don’t have to use a torque wrench you can just tighten them by hand with a socket wrench and shouldn’t have any issues. You also may be able to do this without jacking it up if you have enough ground clearance.
I have a 2010 Journey r/t 2.7L Flexfuel (dohc 24v) Will this be the same? Did the gasket hold up ? How many liters did u end up with Thanks. Not much info out there about Flexfuel. Spec here in sweden
I have.a 2917, 4 banger, and procedure for tranny fluid change is about the same. I changed my fluid at 40,000 earlier than recommended. My 4 banger came with a dip stick. Most of the recommended maintenance intervals seem too far apart. I use synthetic motor oil as i get about 1.5 mpg improvement.

Have anyone did this because I've try doin this today and now my dodge journey perking or resisting or hesitation,lost of power bucking when shifting gear lock of acceleration
I have 150k on my 2013 rt and when I hit 40mph I can floor it and not get much accel, but it is still peppy until then. Think this change could help me out before I spend the $ on doing it?
My 2014 Dodge Journey after a trip started skipping now does not shift gears can it be because has no transmission fluid or is my transmission really damage need so advice help Thank you in advance.
Could be that your transmission fluid is low or transmission fluid is old and needs replaced. How many miles is on the car? What is the transmission fluid temperature running at? Do you notice any fluid leaks around the transmission?
@@Nancy-bw6te I would definitely check your transmission fluid in case it’s overheating but to do that you’ll have to take it to the dealer or purchase the aftermarket dipstick and follow the video I did on how to use it. You may want to also look at your rear differential if it’s an awd model to make sure it’s not leaking any gear oil because I’ve seen where the rear end looses fluid and then overheats making the rear end lock up not allowing the vehicle to move.
You said to go trhrough the gears "several Times". Is several times, 10 times,? I want to make sure that I go through the gears enought times. Thank you
I just changed the rocker arms on my 2015 3.6 it's alot easier than alot of people think. If you have that dreaded tick take care of it right away. I was dumb and waited and it eventually turned into a very loud tick when I would accelerate. And 3 rocker arms were bad and one ate Into my cam lobe.
Are you talking about the magnet in the pan? If so it’s already in there you just need to pull it off and clean it up and stick it back in the same place.
I appreciate the efforts that you put in the making of the video. I have a Dodge Journey 3.6. It is making an abnormal noise when the engine is idling. I can't figure if the noise is from engine or transmission. And, the vehicle is not moving even if gear is in D.
Would a transmission filter and fluid change help a Journey 3.6 with low line pressure (P0868) and prolonged high pressure (P1745)? Also, currently in limp mode as well.
How old it the transmission and how many miles is on it? Have you noticed any drips on the ground or signs that it’s leaking? When was the last time the fluid and filter was replaced? Does yours have the dipstick to where you can check the level? A filter and fluid change is probably where I would start if your fluid level is good that will be your cheapest option at the moment. I’m wandering if your filter screen is clogged creating low pressure. If not you may have an issue with the pump.

I don’t recommend a flush and a lot of manufacturers dont recommend it because a flush can free up a lot of contaminants clogging ports. Just doing a drain and refill plus filter change won’t cause that.
To all it may concern, dont waist money buying the dorman dip stick.Instead take your oil dip stick and measure from the bottom up 2 1/16" draw a line with a Sharpie that line is your new transmission full line keeping your tranny fluid between the just be low the top of the full oil line and your sharpie line is your safe mark for the tranny. Again 2 -1/16 from the bottom of the oil dip stick up is your new tranny full line. I knotched mine by just nicking the stick with a drummel you can even just use a Sharp punch and put a small dot there, and yes you can buy a new pan with the drain plug.For the record for a dirty as that fluid was I think you may have waisted your money on the new fluid and filter...
How far do you insert the oil dipstick into the transmission neck tube? I felt it hit something and stop but then I could force it some yet? That would make the world of difference in the measure. Thanks
Have you noticed any leaks or anything coming from the transmission could be low on fluid. How many miles is on it? Is there anything else that could be affecting it like transfer case or differential locking up? Is your check engine light on?
It is possible could also be low on fluid what year is yours? Because the earlier years had a dipstick so you may want to check the level first and if not try the filter and fluid change. How many miles is on it?
That is the total quarts it would take if it was dry or brand new, when you do just a pan drop and filter change there’s still a lot of fluid that stays in the transmission.
@@christopherlong5270 only way to get it all out would be to have a shop do a flush on it but most manufacturers don’t recommend that. Your best bet would be to do a drain and filter change fill with new fluid and run it for a day or two then do just a drain and refill with new fluid that should get most of the old out and fresh fluid through the whole system.
That’s fine just go off the chart for where the level should be at for 143 degrees on the dipstick. Normal operating temperature for the transmission should be around 170 degrees.
The vehicle and trans should be hot along with it on a level surface and with the trans in neutral to check it accurately. There’s a graph you can reference if you want to check it at a cooler temperature if day after the servicing. Just let it run for a few minutes after starting it and shifting it throughout the gears before leaving it in neutral.
First of all I didn’t do a flush I did a drain and refill with a filter replacement. 2nd 9 qts is the total capacity of the transmission if it was bone dry. 3rd when you just do a drain and filter replacement you don’t get all the fluid out of the transmission plus you have different variables such as how long you let the transmission drip into the drain pan and temperature of the fluid when your draining it because atf expands with heat. 4th that’s why you always measure how much came out initially so you don’t overfill it and use a dipstick and the temperature chart provided with it. 5th so the amount of atf I put back in was correct.
Good stuff. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this. These kind of videos help countless people.

The transmission should be down shifting to get more power. Is it not down shifting when you floor it?
No its almost like it is skipping 4th or 5th gear and going straight to 6th. If I use the manual mode it shifts thru all gears just fine
My journey is doing this exact thing. Did you find out what was causing it?

So is this basically a transmission flush?
No it’s more of a drain and refill. Most manufacturers don’t recommend doing a full flush especially on older vehicles.

That’s fine just go off the chart for where the level should be at for 143 degrees on the dipstick. Normal operating temperature for the transmission should be around 170 degrees.
What if it’s in park to warm up and the transmission temp is only between 115 or 112 and then when driving it’s at 130 barely is that bad or good

Nice video very informative without going over the top
I have a question, when you check the oil level of the Journey, should the truck be turned off or on and already at temperature?
It should be running and in park when checking. Also needs to be driven before hand to get the transmission hot.
And on level ground
The vehicle and trans should be hot along with it on a level surface and with the trans in neutral to check it accurately. There’s a graph you can reference if you want to check it at a cooler temperature if day after the servicing. Just let it run for a few minutes after starting it and shifting it throughout the gears before leaving it in neutral.
