Perhaps too late for my contribution; nevertheless, do not tighten the bolts to 19 ft lbs like the video suggests, otherwise you will damage the threads. Torque is on 40TE 12 nm, on 41TE 19 nm or 62TE 6nm.

I am assuming follow the same guidelines as the oil pan?

[@davidzhang5637]

Could you tell me the address of your auto repair shop in Los Angeles? My car is this type of car. I want to test the transmission and change the transmission oil ~

[@SmokeyDeadGames]

My 2013 3.6 v6 has no dipstick. Only a port that says dealer use only.

You can’t buy in Amazon

Wow thats much easier than i thought itd be

[@djsi38t]

It's a video dude.try it yourself and see how easy it is.For starters...they don't show that you have to remove the plastic shield under the car first just to access the transmission.

@djsi38t Luckily for me, my plastic shield got ripped off when I accidentally ran over an armadillo 💀

Do I have to hand tighten til rtv sets then torque them in?

[@mlaautomotivellc9327]

Perhaps too late for my answer; nevertheless, yes and do not tighten the bolts to 19 ft lbs like the video suggests, otherwise you will damage the threads. Torque is on 40TE 12 nm, on 41TE 19 nm or 62TE 6nm.

I need 2 know what the transmission is like when pulled out, because I need to replace a little transmission solenoid piece. Any help? Like I took off the pan already, but the solenoid is located inside of the transmission. I need to know if I'm disconnecting anything if unscrew pieces

[@Shikata2]

Look up a video about taking the transmission out

[@Platinumtag]

I would like to know too if u have a link, heard u just have to change the computer and it should work or update the computer and it should runs like new.

[@djharris2345]

Your solenoid isn’t inside for an avenger

[@erny6482]

Would this be the same for a 6 speed?

[@TheTexican05]

Same procedure, different pan shape. 👍

[@djones9208]

What type of filter is that, I need to replace mine on my 2012 Dodge Avenger se 2.4 engine

[@edgarj415]

Go off the bolts count how much you have and then check out the new parts one of the transmissions have less bolts

[@navysealsrock1725]

Having trouble unsticking the pan

[@michaeltallent4080]

May be a couple days late, but if you have access to a small deadblow hammer you can give it a few light taps on each corner of the pan to get it loose.

Where’s the fluid censor?

19 foot pounds of torque....

[@mlaautomotivellc9327]

Perhaps too late for my answer; nevertheless, No. And do not tighten the bolts to 19 ft lbs like the video suggests, otherwise you will damage the threads. Torque is on 40TE 12 nm, on 41TE 19 nm or 62TE 6nm.

[@bambur1]

2013 3.6 Avenger has no dipstick. So now what

[@jjmanty3527]

Look up changing on 3.6

[@HamiltonsFam2220]

Not 19 ft lbs U Will Mess The Threads Up And The Bolts Will Just Spin In The Reciever Threads

[@TheTexican05]

^ On the trans pan bolts, 19lb/ft is erroneous. Might be a misprint/bad info in the Haynes manual. We tighten M14 spark plugs to that spec. Not M6 trans pan bolts. 8-9lb/ft or 96-108in/lbs usually does it. Won't squish or damage the gasket; won't damage threads. Hope this info finds the masses watching the video. Also, 4-cylinder motor shown in the video. Same service procedure for the 3.6L V6, just a different pan size with a deeper sump. I recommend folks do the trans fluid every 30-40k miles depending how they drive. It can keep a $4-5k transmission alive 2-3x longer. I have tons of proof come through my shop... 👀 😎

[@brandonGCHACHU]

@@TheTexican05 I bought my Daughter a used car with 99k miles. Do you think it's too late to change the transmission fluid?

[@TheTexican05]

@@brandonGCHACHU Not at all. Just use the correct spec fluid from Valvoline or Castrol per that year, make and model. IF the fluid is super dark, do the first drain and fill, drive it for 100-500 miles, then perform a second drain and fill. Only 1/2-1/3 the total fluid volume comes out during these services. Use a high quality pan gasket and filter if your application requires pan removal.
