Tranny flush
Hi Ive got a 24v 2003 cummins manual transmission 4x4 ,the haynes manual only shows where the dipstick is for an auto. You guys are going to have to embarrass me and tell me where to look. Ive torn half a hmmwv apart and put it back together but Im stuck here where to find the transmission dipstick and fill tube on this dodge !
I just completed my transmission service. I dropped the transmission pan, replaced the filter, re-torqued the valve body bolts, adjusted both bands, and installed a new TCI Deep transmission pan. I then dropped the cooler return line to the transmission, filled up the pan with new ATF+4, ran the it in neutral pumping fluid into a five gallon bucket, repeated this process until it was full. Finally I re-connected the transmission cooler line back onto the transmission, ran the vehicle until the transmission was up to temperature and ensured that I had the correct amount of ATF+4 on the dipstick. I also sampled the transmission fluid for an oil analysis but I do not have any other sample to compare it to yet. I am going to use this procedure on the next service. The local dealer wanted $450 to service the transmission. Two hours was the time required to complete this task without rushing things. If anyone else has Transmission oil Analysis result I would be interested in getting a look at them.
