2008 Chrysler 300 transmission filter
My GF owns a 2008 300 (3.5L), the transmission pan is leaking oil and when in reverse the trans slips sometimes. I worked at an oil change tranny shop about 20 years ago, did 100's of trans tunes (filter gasket, straighten pan oil, etc). I cannot find a trans dipstick or even a filler tube for this tranny. WTF?
I see that there is some special "miller tool" for checking fluid level, but this tranny does not even have a fillet tube from what I can see. Couple of questions: 1) I don't have my GF's owners manual in front of me, what type of trans fluid to I need to get, and when the pan is off, filter is changed, how much fluid goes back in? 2) Where do I refill the fluid once the filter, pan & gasket have been replaced? (I looked quick last night in the dark for a place to refill, maybe I missed it), and does anyone know how much fluid goes back in after a trans tune? Since there is no dipstick. I think Chrysler are a bunch of a-holes for removing the dipstick. Because a few ppl can't use the correct fluid, none of us can service the tranny's, yeah, that makes a lot of sense... |
u will need to know if U have A NAG or 42 RE trans for the rite filter
ATF+4 only There is no dip stik u can buy one off ebay only issue is i cant tell what the correct level is suppose to be with out a scanner telling you the temp of the fluid. and FYI it was not Chrysler this is a Mercedes Benz design |
and FYI it was not Chrysler this is a Mercedes Benz design Well, I'm having my GF take it to the dealer for a trans service, it's going to cost about 50% more than if I was going to do it, but I don't have the time to deal with this tbh. I did buy the dipstick off of ebay, hoping that I can use it in the future. Are you saying there should be a filler tube somewhere behind the intake? Or does either of the NAG or 42 RE have no tube at all? Thanks |
the intake towards the back on pass side it will be in the middle of the intake a black round twist off cap that's the filler and dip stick location.

Dealer charged $280 for a filter, gasket and refill. (Oh, they decided they needed to put a new pan on, as they won't straighten the gasket surface of the old one, jeez...)
Yup, guess I should have left work early on Sat and done it myself... |
