You should be doing a pan drop and filter change every 30k. (Thats Not a complete fluid change its about half of it) .the warranty on my trans actually requires it every 15k iirc

That seems a bit frequent unless you're doing a lot towing, hauling or off-roading. The manufacturer specs are every 60K for daily drivers. Don't think a warranty can require a frequency higher than the factory specs. Shouldn't the warranty have expired on most of our trucks by now? Is it 5yrs or 10yrs for the power train?

Not that more frequent changes will hurt...just may not be necessary.

 

I have a fully built aftermarket transmission with a 500k mile warranty. I may or may not have melted my original transmission's guts out of it after towing and digging through sand and mud over the axles for an extended length of time.

Also i was more getting at simply droping the pan and changing the filter is not the 60k service that is recommended. That would require pumping out ALL the fluid not just whats in the pan. But if you dont want to fight with that you can just up the service interval to about 30k since you only get roughly half of the fluid out with a pan drop the filter will need to be changed sooner and the fluid won't have the same life span as 100% new fluid

 

Nice! With a warranty like that, they must have made some upgrades. Is a rebuilt and upgraded transmission? Or, a completely different build from the ground up?

Makes sense. I've been taking that approach with my wife's Odyssey. It's transmission seems to act up before the service interval. But, I can fix that by doing a simple drain-and-fill (for about 1/3 of the fluid) every 15K or so. Fortunately, it's easier to do that since it has a drain plug.

 

Its a reman and upgrade. Also they make pans for ours with plugs come to think of it i should order one since i gotta service everything next weekend

 

Nice...gotta link?

 

Its an ats diesel trans. https://www.atsdiesel.com/ats2/index.asp You'll have to special order it by emailing or calling them since they dont seem to market it for the 3.7l jeeps anymore. I had to special order mine back when they did market them, still had to send them my trans first so they could make sure everything was the same.

 

 

Not to hijack the thread but.... dang.... I'm jealous!


Went stock. Dated a girl who works for parts at one of the Chrysler dealerships in town and got a deal. Had lots of weird shifts before, but no issues since.
