This guy is one of the BEST mechanic technical video creator I've seen. Very clear, precise information and thorough explanations.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many many thanks for those kind words. It’s much appreciated.

[@vinces8974]

He really is the best of the best

[@pasal2128]

Very Well explained. Seems you Do Like your Job/career

[@angelgomez2013]

Can you leave the dip stick in place of that dealer cap?

[@juliava605]

@@angelgomez2013 No! Use the dealer cap!

[@josephwetherall958]

This man is an OUTSTANDING instructor. I routinely come to him for guidance, and it’s always spot on.

[@lakeishajohnson777]

This guy is an amazing mechanic he knows how to explain things really well thanks for posting

[@MrJackassz]

What a legend you are. An amazing teacher, patient and willing to show step by step. And keeps it simple.

[@randywharton6291]

A couple years ago, my 2010 VW Routan with 160K miles was shifting hard, and I’d never had anything done to the transmission. So I took it to my local Chrysler place and asked for a fluid and filter change. It didn’t help the shifting, but I felt better about it. Recently I started getting a solenoid D error in the solenoid pack, so I used your videos on changing the solenoid pack. Extreme kudos, Dave! It went without a hitch. During the process, about 3 quarts drained out, and before starting the car, I put 3 quarts back in. Using your video on how to use the oil dipstick, it showed about 80 mm on the stick. I siphoned 1 quart out to get it back where it needed to be. Evidently, my local dealer put 1 quart too much back in when they serviced it for me previously. Evidently, they don’t always use their own procedures for properly ensuring the correct fluid level. BTW, my tranny is shifting smoothly again now with the new solenoid pack. 😊

[@hemiandersen1894]

Thank you David, I have been a MOPAR mechanic for over 50 years, retired now. Your explanation was clear and concise. You do better than even the factory training school guys in your clear explanations. I have reproduced the measurement markings as you describe, it was very helpful.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks. Its cool to hear from those in the same line of work. I appreciate the kind words as well and thanks for watching/commenting. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.

[@spennce]

Thanks! I had cooler lines fixed about 6 months ago on my 2014 Town and Country and has been shifting hard when it gets hot. Decided to order tool and check myself and had to add more than 3 quarts of atf-4 and now shifts great. Took it to the mechanic who replaced cooler lines and he said I was measuring wrong and had to use oil dipstick to get past stop and go to bottom of the pan. He is wrong and won't admit it. Hopefully didn't do any damage running it 3 quarts low.

[@taylorsutherland9447]

It never fails to amaze me how we can even have simple dip sticks anymore. Could be graduated by trans temperature and give a readout on the dash. This is a European and GM type of ridiculously difficult ways to perform what should routine service.

[@stephenbrown7815]

With newer Toyotas a scan tool is needed to compare fluid temp and drain amount of a service plug? At least you can see where to put fluid. A normal dipstick would be better though.

[@johnrisher3007]

This is a chrysler item

[@NPartipilo]

Excellent video. Thank you so much..

[@carlosgraft7386]

You are right! such an importan part not being monitored on the dash. THe computer does it to an extend but overtime the tranny will succumb... for example: when T converter slipping is detected PCM will stop engaging however repeating this process daily will cause inevitable damaged over time. ..

[@lukenelson1865]

Very straight forward. I highly recommend. I also appreciate that there isn't a huge story before you get the information you need.

[@NygHTcraWleRr]

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST VIDEO ON KZbin FOR THE 62TE TRANSMISSION! wowww thank you so much :)

[@keving4081]

Thank you! Imagine my frustration after changing my oil when I attempted to check the transmission level. I have been working my own cars for 50 years. They really don't want us under the hood anymore. You are providing a great service.

[@herbertburden8916]

How do I know where's up

[@davidkahn4390]

Only guy I need to explain anything.. he makes it easy

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for watching David

[@j.co.6373]

Love your videos man! Couldn’t possibly be explained better. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

[@ussir]

Thank you David! Great video as always. I have a RAM and a Journey and have been using your tutorials with success.

[@dewanafication]

Thanks for having made this video. Very informative and well made. I'm glad I was able to find your video.

[@shauncleary9801]

Great video. Best mechanic videos I’ve seen

[@orsue8384]

Wow! You have a great way of explaining something that seemed so foreign to me. The close-up shots were some of the best that I've seen in a video - great angles and lighting. Thanks so much!

[@westshorehelpdesk856]

I agree, even getting close for the dipstick markign and dremel shots with good lighting and minimal glare.

[@albertuber3448]

You are a good teacher, thank you for all educational videos

[@ironman1518.]

Thank you David!! YOU are THE MAN!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome!

[@JRS8111]

David, your technical videos have been a blessing to me and have helped me tremendously , especially regarding the Dodge/Chrysler 3.6 pentastar engines / 62te transmissions , the info you have provided is 5star, thankyou so much !!

[@pedrotorres9836]

Great info. I didn't think of using the engine dipstick. Feels good to find a video that teaches something useful. Great video

[@erichatfield6259]

Thank you for making these videos! They really help! Easy to understand so I know what I may be getting into and can decide whether to attempt something on my own or have a pro tackle it. Either way I get to learn & understand.

[@mariospeedwagon5454]

[@gordonsw5723]

Another great video by a great mechanic!

[@YeahNahDeadset]

Fantastic video tutorial, very well explained, a great help for someone like myself trying to learn and keeping our vehicle going, from the home garage, without dropping heaps of cash at a dealer shop etc. Thank you very much, really appreciate your effort.

Fantastic education! Many thanks for this one. You'll make a real mechanic out of me yet!

[@geronimotudor3386]

David you area GODDAMN GENIUS!!! Exactly what I needed! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@wyattoneable]

I purchased the dip stick from Dorman you suggested to me in a comment a while back and got a chart from Eric O. The next trick was a tool to get the temperature of the transmission. One of my higher end scanners did that so it was just a matter of putting the three things together to check the oil. Wow, it sure has become complicated. I did a video on that journey but you did a much better job on this video. Well done!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I had filmed parts of this video along time ago and in those clips I even used a laser thermometer and even taped a thermometer to the pan to see if any big differences in temp.....it really wasnt that much difference which was surprising......i just decided to not include the footage. Thanks Wyatt for always watching and for the support!

[@eloanstar6791]

Make more videos, your instructions are clear and precise

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Appreciate the comment and I will try my best to

Thank you very much for this. The dipstick method is just so much easier. Now I can finally check my trans fluid without having to pay the dealer a crazy amount of money just to have them check it for me.

[@benjaminvandenboss6992]

Thank you for your video! I watched the transmission range sensor videos because I am currently working on a 2010 Journey with the 62te transmission and I couldn't figure out the reason I couldn't get the sensor out. Nobody had a video on the replacement process except for you. Thank you very much!

[@dougthomasmusic]

Totally agree with SwineHoax. This guy is spot on. I’m happy not to be one of the jealous 52 knuckleheads. 4.2 thousand ups? Yeah, that says it all. Thanks so much love it. Clear and concise. A real pro.
