That's exactly what I've been using , and praying that it was close to being accurate . I still might buy the actual trany dipstick . My wife and I have a 07 jeep liberty sport 4x4 , we are the second owner when we bought her she had 145000 she's now up there , one of the best jeeps we have ever owned hands down !!
In the manual for transmission 42rle it says you have to switch between each gears before checking so it cycles through and you dont get the transmission fluid sitting on top, also it would have to be at optimal temperature
One question remains, are the markings on the oil dipstick comparable to those on a transmission fluid dipstick to ensure that you get an accurate reading?
Please kindly help me, i have 2011 jeep liberty..i bought dipstick at Autozone...very long one. Read the oil is 120 full. But my truck slips occasionally and noisy when driving..any help please🙏?
So on my 07 Liberty, I can use the oil dipstick and if it shows in the safe zone for trans fluid, all is good? and if not add some, correct? Just making sure.
In millimeters, what would be a safe range for a 2011 Jeep liberty ? Also, is it necessary to have the car running when checking the transmission fluid?
I just use the same as I would for oil pretty much anywhere in that cross hatch section should be okay. Remember this is just for maintenance not for if you've drained the fluid or anything you should use the actual tool if you do anything more than just routinely check it.
I would check it before you start. Use that as a reference. As long as it's not low on fluid at the start, you should be ok. Another thing I do is use an old 5 qt oil jug and pour in what I drained and will also give you an idea on how much to put in.@@Nonamestranger126
@@dragindartThat’s what I do I have a mityvac evacuation pump I suck out about 2.5 quarts I pour that in to a measuring container I put back exactly what I took out I run it through all the gears about tens times nice and easy Then take it on a ride for ten minutes I then use the oil dip stick to measure the level If I need to add I pour in a little bit at a time and run it through the gears again and let it sit for five minutes I do this until I get the correct measurement in the cross hairs. Jeep doesn’t provide you with a transmission drain plug So this is a much easier way of doing a partial fluid change Mine is a 2008 Jeep Liberty 3.7 I also used this method when I changed the garbage rusted out tranny pan Using the same procedure It was much easier to deal with the pan without all that fluid in it Because I used jacks It’s not a bad job to do for yourself I was quoted between 400 to 580 from the local stealerships I spent in total 100 dollars New pan New gasket and filter New bolts Some locktite Bot who is me The oil pan has to be done And it is a pain in the neck to do on Jack stands.

I put it in a little at a time. Then let it set to get the fluid a chance to run down and then recheck it and just keep adding it in small amounts till it's full cuz you definitely don't want to overfill it.
Hi, I have a question, I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty, I'm having a problem, The ESP/BAS Light is on, But Not The ABS Light. And Whenever I try to accelerate past 40 MPH It wont engage the gear and the engine revs up until I let go of the gas Pedal. And once I drop below 40 I can accelerate fine. Now here's the thing, the rear tire on the drivers side is smaller than it is supposed to be and the tires are bald in general. Could that have something to do with it? I'm just looking for a solution so I can do the work myself. Any advice would be appreciated.
You definitely need all 4 tires the same on a 4 wheel drive. This is the stability and brake assist system, all part of the ABS. The tires could very well be the problem. Sounds like its applying the brakes due to the system sensing an unstable condition. Could be a sensor issue as well. I would get 4 good tires the same size and see what that does.
@@dragindart Thank You, I'll be Getting them Replaced tomorrow. However if that doesn't fix the Issue, would you. E able to reccomend a Good, affordable Scan tool that would be able to read The codes for This System, I noticed you said that you were a tech for Chrysler so are there any brands that you know of that would work?

Are there any other lights on? My ESPBAS, airbag, and traction control light were on, and my cruise control wasn't working. I just solved that by changing the clock spring with one from a salvage yard. It was pretty easy, but sounds like you'd better get those tires sorted out before anything
@@jtkeys7618 what!? Haha man the car has to be on running and up to operating temperature to check the transmission fluid. To check the engine oil, car needs to be off but for transmission fluid check always on!
Hello I have a 2008 jeep grand Cherokee and it just started. It will have no power you can put it to the floor and nothing. It don't night rev or nothing. You put it in Nuteral and rev it goes up. You need to pull over turn the jeep off and restart it and its fine. Any suggestions
I got one right now the scanner shows the Transmission temp at -3 Degree... It throws a 750 a 882 code. I checked every inch of wiring. It's in perfect condition. So not sure if its the ECM as it does not have a TIPM fuse box. All the fuses and relays are okay... So any clue if it's the ECM that failed. As I can not scan the Transmission Module. Scanner says it can't communicate with it..Which from what I can tell. Is part of the ECM
@@dragindart Yeah but that would not affect the ability to scan the Transmission Module. Which is part of the ECU...I think the ECU is the fault. As I can scan the engine module and see it's not shifting from 3-4th.. The Valves remain closed... remains closed.and it reads park as Neutral...
@@WizzRacing Well it's very possible it could be the ECM but the range sensor which is part of the valve body still could be it at fault so I just don't want you to spend the money on an ECM if there's a chance it might be something else. The rain sensor could be telling the ECM that it's in neutral when it's really not. That is definitely a complex problem though Good luck to you I hope you get her fixed.
@@dragindart I figured it out.. The Fuse box is a TIPM.. I pulled the fuse box and the micro relay is not sending power to the TCM relay that is on top. I bypassed the micro relay inside the fuse box. Now it works..So the TIPM micro relay is bad. As the ECM is sending a reference voltage to it. But the main relay is not getting power for the TCM...
I have a 2012. Recently got an engine light for low transmission fluid pressure added some tranny fluid and the light went off. Question when i check it cold it looks like its full but when i check it hot it looks like its low so which reading is accurate? I dont want to overfill it. Thanks
With that type of a issue you better take it into a reputable shop and have them check it out. The tip I gave on this video was more to just verify the fluids good on a vehicle that's just in for routine maintenance.
I have an 07 jeep cherokee laredo without a dip stick. Will checking my transmission fluid with the oil dip stick work as well? If it's on safe does it mean it's full like when you check the oil level?
I haven't tried it on that particular vehicle. I would try and see. If you're confident the transmission is full, then that will give you a reference point.
@@ANNABODO4612 It's hard to say without hearing it myself. If it is a hub bearing the noise sometimes will go completely away when you turn the corner or if the car is pitched one side or another.

Excellently done - to the point and without a lot of face-in-the camera theatrics found on most of these car tech. videos on YT.

Great Advice hun, Thank you so much. Saved me from having the dealer check it.
Thanks man, I was just searching amazon for a dipstick to fit my 3.7L Grand Cherokee. Guess I won't be waisting my money!
What the heck. Learned something new today. 😊. Cheers from central Canada!!! 👍👍👍
Wow very helpful 🤪👍. Fixed problems. Thanks!
My 2006 KJ came with a separate dipstick for the transmission fluid.
Luxury European model. 😎
Brilliant! Thank you for this!
One question remains, are the markings on the oil dipstick comparable to those on a transmission fluid dipstick to ensure that you get an accurate reading?
Nope, sorry !
Yes, he says that in the video.. you only let it bottom out in the pan, which you can see only the last inch or so doesnt go in..
Thanks for sharing cause I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty I could not find the dip stick
I'll try on my 2012 kk sport !
Thanks for the tip !
Very cool, just what I was looking for.
Wow. Thank you so much! You're a lifesaver!
Great advice, but are you sure that's an 06? The boxy 3rd gen didn't come out till 08 I thought
That must be an 08 or newer, you're absolutely right
Please kindly help me, i have 2011 jeep liberty..i bought dipstick at Autozone...very long one. Read the oil is 120 full. But my truck slips occasionally and noisy when driving..any help please🙏?
I have this same thing with my 08 liberty. Also following
with this kind of long dipstick the level has to be on 42-56
So on my 07 Liberty, I can use the oil dipstick and if it shows in the safe zone for trans fluid, all is good? and if not add some, correct? Just making sure.
Yes it worked that way on vehicle in the video.

@@TheAngelPasillas Yes it needs to be running. Just make sure it's in the safe zone of the dipstick.
Can you do this on a 2007 jeep Liberty sport 3.7 also
So mine is easy below the add letters. I better go get some transmission fluid? 😬
Where do you add the transmission fluid?
@@jimmiestephens3725 You put the transmission fluid in the dipstick tube right where you check the fluid.
Any particular part of the crosshatch section to aim for

Using the same procedure
It was much easier to deal with the pan without all that fluid in it
Because I used jacks
It’s not a bad job to do for yourself

I spent in total 100 dollars
New pan
New gasket and filter
New bolts
Some locktite

In my nitro the dipstick dont go to the end i have by a new one buger but i not pretty shure 😢
If its below should I fill it till it gets there and should I wait to check it after putting some in

What was the problem with the car mine sounds the same
There was no real problem It was just in for routine maintenance.
Keep in mind 2007 3.7 V6 does not come with a dipstick for your transmission.

Was this a check for transmission fluid hot or cold?
It was at normal operating temp.
Yup i've done it on many dodge grand caravan also
Why did you check it in park when it's supposed to be checked in neutral? Won't that give you an inaccurate reading?
The owner's manual says check it in park.
