hello all I am about to change my trans fluid for the first time (60k ) anyone have the details on how to do this? 05 T&C 3.8/auto Also Is this a bad idea at this milage since it has never been done?

 

have the car up in the air,remove the 10mm bolts on the pan,the fluid will go every where if u arnt carefull., replace the filter make sure the o ring does not stay in the hole. clean off the pan and the tranny housing of the old rtv. apply a bead of rtv on the new pan install do not over tighten the pan bolts.

 

thanks for the reply,I did the rear brakes today anddid a lof but decided to wait to hear from someone about the service, I was wondering if maybe someone knew how much fluid to add after the pan drop and filter change. Also the torque on the pan bolts??? I bought all OEM parts and fluids. Thanks in advance.....

 

the norm for fluid is 4 to 5 qts do 4 then check it. GO no more then 165 inch pounds
