Changed AT Trans filter, now won't move. Anyone??
Hello,
New to the forum, and am I glad I found you guys.
I have an 05 Ram 1500, 4wd, with the hemi. Just changed the automatic transmission filter this evening, as well as the cooler line return filter, (looks like small oil filter). Filled with new fluid. Now, truck won't move at all. I put 6 qts in, although I read another thread here that says 6.6qts. (I will add the extra tomorrow morning). Is there something I missed? Or, mabey was I supposed to fill the little cooler line filter with fluid first? Or?
I would truly appreciate any help with this.
Thanks

That's what I'm thinkin'. Mine took seven quarts, but that difference shouldn't be the problem. Did you remove the old seal before installing the new one? Did you get the correct flat filter? There are two -- 2WD and 4WD.

Thanks for the replies. I did replace both filters. I believe it is the correct flat filter. I did push the tube side up until it could go no further, then attached the holding nut. Was I supposed to fill the smaller round (oil filter looking) filter with fluid prior to installation?
Now, I did not install a separate o ring. It (the tube side of flat filter) had a rubber ring with what seemed like a tapered washer on it. Was I supposed to reposition the rubber ring closer to the flat part of the filter?
Also, I did start the truck, then with foot on the brake, go thru the gears, but still nothing. Still wondering if I needed to 'prime' or fill the smaller oil filter looking filter.??
