[@SNOWFOX954]

@@peterbuiltcummins413 why shouldnt you use rtv?

[@peterbuiltcummins413]

@SNOWFOX954 rtv works in some cases when using the proper amount but anyone who's not stupid has pulled apart engines to discover excessive amounts of rtv in the oiling system like the pickup tube screen.

[@ericmausolf8682]

@@peterbuiltcummins413 I interpreted his comment regarding ATV as sarcasm (could be wrong). I abhor RTV improperly used, squeezed out between surfaces in bulges like a herniated sausage. Many times doing re-repair work AFTER someone else had already been there and finding loathsome amounts of RTV, tells me I now have to go through everything. On the flip side, nothing more beautiful than equal distance "lines" of RTV between two surfaces that you can see but not touch, that's professional work. @DEinTheGarage Appreciated the vid!

I have watched about 5 of these videos and I gotta say, NONE of the other ones should have been uploaded. Yours is all that is needed. Thanks! And thanks for even going over the P0944: loss of hydraulic pump prime note at 18:06 You're also the only one to show the fill process. Which is honestly a HUGE chunk of importance on this DIY!!! I have a Hemi, but it should all be about the same. Tackling this job this weekend so lets go!

[@ryanmartinage]

Thought Id offer a tip. if you're replacing the pan with one that has a drain plug, just drill the lowest point of the pan and drain into a catch container. It makes it soooo much easier and less messy for ~$40.

[@jeepinjack4196]

Gear oil is the absolute worst

[@jamesdewer]

Hey! Nice job on this video. You got me motivated to get in the garage and do mine. From what I gather, you want to drain the other remaining fluid out of the transmission cooler that's done by disconnecting the drain or return line. That is the return line from the transmission cooler in your radiator at the radiator. After having everything buttoned up and having fresh fluid placed in your freshly serviced transmission, start the vehicle , disconnect the hose at the radiator. Your return line hose at the radiator. Let the vehicle run until clear. New fluid comes out. Shut her down then top everything up. You get all fresh fluid through there. Just FYI

[@KaisTheFireWarrior]

That may damage the transmission, slowly introduce new fluid not all at once

[@jakemason9436]

Did my 65rfe. Used the pump down the dipstick tube trick - no spillage at the pan. Added a drain plug - easy. Used the OEM ATF RTV - has no set up time and it actually says get it installed within 5-10 mins. It's been 40k miles and not a drop leaking. Thanks for the vid.

[@JF32304]

How many quarts did you have to pour in?

[@jakemason9436]

@@JF32304 about 8. Best thing to do is capture all the fluid you take out and measure in a jug. Then put the same new amount back in.

[@JF32304]

[@OlofTheBald]

17:50 there's a torque spec for that Douglas, I think the Germans call it "gut n' tight" :D

[@OlofTheBald]

Also I was so happy to see you install the sump filter seal properly. So many people on KZbin just slide it onto the filter's neck and then install the filter. I don't know who is teaching people to do it that way but they need to stop.

[@DEInTheGarage]

Seriously?? I am relatively sure the trans will not shift if that seal is not "gut n' tight" against the body. Cheers, bud!

[@tedz74]

Nicely done sir! Nothing like taking a shower in ATF! I recommend using a low profile storage tote (also called "under bed box") for catching the used fluid.

[@DEInTheGarage]

That would have been perfect for this job! Next time!

[@nevadaboy9769]

You can also go down to your local hardware or big box store & get a lid for the 32 gal rubber trash cans, they always have extras cuz not everone needs the lid when they get one of those trash cans! just cut a hole in the center & walla you got a big ole oil catcher you can place over just about any size drain pan 👍✌

[@BryantGCartagena]

Everyone listen up!!! IT IS CRUCIAL!!! That you seat that metal gasket correctly at 16:21. I mistakenly read the directions wrong and seated it on the feeding tube and my 2010 jeep grand Cherokee did not want to engage into any gear. This gave me a boat load of unnecessary codes. Thanks for the video! This helped a lot, wish I saw it sooner!

[@martinheredia6124]

That's the only reason i haven't attempted to do mine, because I've heard of many problems with that little seal

[@JF32304]

Yeah if you don't seat it correctly into the case and don't use the tube to do it, you'll run the pump dry as it can't suck any fluid. IF you pull the pan back off and seat it correctly you might be able to save it. I've done 3 of these services and have always seated the seal separately with a blunt object and made sure the lip of the seal was pressing against the tranny.

[@davidpowell3347]

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job Douglas.I think you came out a little cleaner than Eric did on his.🤣😂🤣😂I think I would have replaced the pan with the one with the drain plug or added a drain plug to that one.All in all though,still a nice job buddy.👍👍

[@DEInTheGarage]

For sure! Eric took a bath! I am honestly not sure why I didnt take the extra step of adding the drain plug. Maybe next time. haha

[@r.deanmcknight136]

Also the large plastic square pan for concrete at lowes works very well for fluid changes under vehicle. Can also put you regular catch pan within that for splash and overshoot

[@nevadaboy9769]

You can also get a 32gal brute / rubbermaid trash can lid with or without center hole 22"D x 4"H for about $10

[@ChrisFreeMan8]

I did my first transmission flush thanks to you. I also did my first radiator change thanks to your videos. Thanks bro.

[@deniedjoo]

Just did this last year jeep now has a really good gasket for the pans supposedly lifetime little pricey but it works I have the inline 6 model Grand chee

[@KaisTheFireWarrior]

The gasket is really good and doesn't leak. If you mess up with the gasket it's easier to correct it then smear RTV inside the transmission.

[@johnfisk8407]

I would suggest also changing the dipstick tube seal once in a while as well, or once it rots and becomes brittle pieces will break off and allow condensate from ac dripping on the tube to enter transmission, and after water outweighs atf it will boil over. which is the boat I am in right now had to tow my jeep 50 miles,

[@ChuckNasty.]

As someone whos done this on my back in a dirt driveway(ofcource i took an atf shower when i took the pan off). I can say without a doubt that ATF smells terrible new or burnt the stink stays in for days i feel like.

[@paulklahr997]

Can’t stand the smell of gear oil! 😝 Nice job. I used the fel pro gasket on my 42RE because Dan H did. Tiny tiny bit of leaking in a year since the job. I’ll go your route next time. Stay warm!

Thanks bud!

[@paulsanchez5873]

Any tips for installing a transmission on jack stands? Replacing my 45rfe in my 02 and even on a 4inch lift the trans and trans jack don’t fit underneath

[@TOO_RAW]

I just did my trans a couple weeks ago and the filters hadn't been changed since 2004-2005 😰 a light flush and a refill with a qt of the Lucas conditioner made her extremely happy. Having my jeep happy is very important since shes critical for my job. If I can't pull my 2100 lb boat and 500 lbs of oysters 100 miles round trip then I can't work. I don't have to travel that far every day but when we get a bunch of rain and they close all the local oystering bottom I have to travel to go to work. My 2001 4.7L limited doesn't even slightly struggle to haul a little more than 1 1/2 tons long distances now that I got her tuned up and happy. Pro tip: KEEP YOUR JEEP HAPPY

[@jesusrperezd]

Hi man how is your jeep running? do you usually do this service? I recently bought a WJ and want to do all the maintenance but some people told me to avoid the transmission fluid change since the transmission can be messed if never has be done before. It has 130k miles and I don't know the maintenance background from the last owners...

[@alexchung5804]

Nice job! I used the aftermarket pan with drain plug and really glad I did. Definitely makes the transmission service a lot less messier. Lube locker gaskets worked great both on diff cover and transmission pan for my 04 WJ.

[@KJsProjects]

I did the same with my ZJ transmission service. Makes it really nice if you ever need to service your transmission in the future.

[@JimFlanagan4206]

They also make drain plug kits you can add to your existing pan.

[@TheJoeyBones]

Worse than ATF? Definitely gear oil for me. One time I did my rear end, and while trying to squeeze the shit out of the bottle, the nozzle slipped out of the fill hole and I got a solid blast of it right on the top of my head lmao it was stuck in my hair for days. I even tried dish soap, figured it cleans grease off ducks, it should work for my hair, right? Not really. It helped more than anything else I tried though haha

[@pistolmike791]

Do you know what size nut/fitting is in the transmission for the cooler lines. I bust mine and can't figure out wrench size

[@elblaise5618]

Should have known D & E would have a proper and detailed video on this subject instead of wasting time on a bunch of half cocked amateurs.

[@wildbill23c]

I need to do a drain, filter and fill on my 88 Bronco 2...waiting till spring when the carport isn't below freezing LOL. I think its only been about 29k miles since the transmission was rebuilt so its definitely due for a service. Going to do 35k intervals after this, but figured the fluid is getting pretty dark so its definitely worth the time to do a service now. Only been about 5 years since it was rebuilt.

Question and a comment. Get one of those concrete mixing tubs at home store. Work great for all fluid changes or rebuilding a steering box in. Question I’m about to do my AW4 and tcase on 2000 XJ. Read mixed use ATF and dex/merc. What would you recommend?

[@DEInTheGarage]

I have always put ATF in the AW4. That is definitely what it takes. Dex/Merc would not make much sense unless someone has found it somehow preforms better than the ATF. Personally I would stick with ATF

[@outdoorsmansgarage]

Nice job Doug I too am a big fan of the red permatex however I do Goodyear still love The Simple Green it smells good and clean good as well now we don't have people throwing their products at us so until that happens Simple Green it is. To answer your question I find the smell of ATF disgusting in any form whether it's fresh or burnt.

[@dpowerz518]

If I can get my hands on someone’s shop or just wait till spring I think my 4l60 in my 5.3 05 Chevy 1500 could definitely use a trans filter and fluid change at 220 k miles and it’s never been replaced I tow with it everyday and when I’m not towing I am plowing with it so I’m guessing its Probably a great idea to do it with all the stress I’m putting it through

[@boogerhead0]

For the 45/545RFE, always lay eyes on the screws retaining the accumulator plate to the side of the valve body, be sure they are still fully seated. Also look over the face of the plate for cracks. If you cannot see the plate clearly on the transmission's valve body, then take the few minutes to remove the 6 screws holding it on, lower the valve body, and then inspect the plate. Better yet, replace the plate with a stronger plate, some heavier plates prefer to drill and tap 3 new screw holes. Reinstall valve body and torque the 6 screws to 250 INCH-lbs,then apply filter(s) and pan.

Hey man i drive a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 . My truck suddenly had trouble accelerating. Rpms would go up with out switch gears. I went up to 30mph. It felt like my catalytic converters was gone. Gears were kind of rough for a while but anyway my truck ended up not going foward or reverse . I had to wait like a minute or two or turn it off and on. I couldnt hear my gears switching from park to drive sometimes. Sorry for the long story but long story short i went to a mechanic he said he hooked it up to a machine or computer and he says my pressure is low and i might have an internal leak. Recommends an old transmission or rebuild. I dont know man im leaning towards a bad solenoid and filter. I mean ive had history with the shifting sounding rough. What you think

[@richardtodd42]

i watched Eric O over at south main auto do this task. All the same except he used a permatex product that is made specifically for ATF. The orange stuff is for gear lube. Excellent video and I cant wait to flood my garage with red shit tomorrow.

[@josephmitchell8283]

I did mine about a year ago and used a rubber gasket with no silicone, torqued it down to the proper inch pounds and havent seen a drop on the pan . just make sure you tighten them all to the same number. as long as they are all tightebned the same it will have even pressure and no spots that might pull the pan in tighter, creating a gap to leak. I wish I would have gotten the pan with a drain plug. Tranny no longer engages when put into drive so I'm going back in. I also always put a tarp down then drive the truck over it and raise it up. having a wide, shallow plastic tub works well to collect the oil and fluids from underneath. Theres almost always some that doesn't qquite make into the tub. usuaally only a few drops but over time a garage or driveway begins to look like homes on the other side of the tracks

I appreciate your video, and used it as reference when I did my last filter(s) change and fill about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I'm about to redo my tranny fluid change, but this time I'm not going with a rubber gasket. The old pan was fine, not warped and nothing on the mating surface, but I used the new gasket that came with the kit, and it was garbage and leaked right away. Then--as if that wasn't bad enough--I adjusted the snugness of the bolts, and one of them snapped, so now it's leaking is even worse than before! So what you've hear about the gaskets, is true insofar as I am concerned. This time, RTV and a brand new pan; if it leaks then, I'm pushing it off a damn cliff!

I’m having some issues with my 04 4.0 WJ. P1391 “Camshaft sensor not installed properly” so my timing is off. Could you do a video on how to do this on a 4.0L? Love the videos, keep it up

[@JF32304]

were you able to get it fixed?

[@danletourneau2220]

Worst smell.. Used Jet engine oil. Terrible smell think gear oil mixed with diesel and a charcoal grill. Plus you smell like it for a couple days

@@tedz74 Thanks. I know the size. What did he say ? It sounded like 5 "seats." I didn't know if there was a glitch in the audio, or is there a regional (?) shorthand for "sixteenths?"

"Steenth" is a term used in financial markets to refer to "1/16". www.nasdaq.com/glossary/s/steenth
