flushed out the cooling system yesterday and disconnected the tranny fluid line by accident. lost some fluid before I figured that I was stupid. put it back on and checked the tranny fluid level. added a bit and now thinking im finished. is this all I need to do. or is there something else to look out for. thanx richie

 

to check run with in neutral. Only way to do it right.

 

i did that. the fluid level was fine. just never had a cooler before in front of my rad. disconnected the wrong hose, saw red comming out and put it back. lost about a pint.
went throught the gears and ended in nutural. added some fluid. checked it twice and all seems well. was just wondering if adding the fluid was tied directly into the cooler. I traced the lines and I believe thats the case but figured Id check. sort of an expensive part. Alot more to the dodge then all the jeeps Ive owned, plus this is the first automatic Ive owned.

 

i hope you put mopar ATF 4 in that slush box, otherwise you're in trouble if you topped off with dexron/mercon.

 

i put dexron 111 in there. it says the atf 4 is for 2001. for the 2000, it says atf plus 3 or
dexron 111. is there a problem here. thats what the haynes says

 

well I guess you learn something every day. called dodge and they said they have know idea why the haynes says dexron 111. Im going to get it changed with filter and band adjustment. thanx all .I called valvoline and they said that the dex 111 was no good in there either. why would haynes print that.?????????
