Jeep Wrangler JK JKU - Transmission Flush & Filter Change + Plug Adapter Pilot Bushing Replacement

[@queensapphire7717]

This is by far the best video showing this procedure. No stupid music, gets to the point, and shows difficulties you may encounter, and how to get around them. Bravo. I was not even aware of that adapter plug, and now I am, a $33 part, for Mopar OEM, which I will make sure I have when I do it. The bolts in the trans cross member actually screw into the trans ? Another thing I did not know.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

So the trans mount has studs that go through the crossmember and the crossmember bolts to the frame. Thanks for joining me on this repair today 🍻

[@grontek]

Thank You. I did mine today. The design of clearance between oil pan and exhaust cross pipe is so bad like many stupid designs of Wrangler. Sample hand brake adjustment. Thank You buddy for good video.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Time for dual exhaust 🤔 right now im taking apart the top end of the engine to replace all 24 rocker arms and lifters

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks you that’s awesome, I really appreciate it 🍻

[@sstjacques]

Thanks for doing this without sucking it from the top, i wanted to see the messy way of doing it. Will be doing mine outside on jack stands, in Feb., in VT... on a day its above freezing... but waiting for that day might be more toward March. LOL... I bought Jeep last year, with 101k, and not sure if previous owner ever did this service as fluids other than oil are the most neglected. Did the front and rear differential today on the 2015 Rubicon unlimited. I have the automatic trans.. wish I had manual.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I’m getting ready to do this again, this time I will replace the pan with a Dorman pan that has a drain plug. That should make these jobs much easier to do. Also I love manuals but the best thing on that jeep is the auto transmission IMO. www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3Q2Y97/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_BRG4AHYSFHGDMG2XMPR9?linkCode=ml2&tag=atemoffroad-20

Definitely gotta go to the shop, thought about doing it myself but nope😊

I’m going to do another video on this subject, you will want to do it yourself after you watch. 🍻

[@aacar4095]

Thanks for the video. I do think getting a $10 pump on Amazon or Harbor Freight is worth it to get the level down before taking off the pan though. Good to see both ways.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks I just bought this and I think this is the best way new pan has a drain plug www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3Q2Y97/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_582672CGFVMZ3NCWHYWH?linkCode=ml2&tag=atemoffroad-20

Thanks,very useful video.Greetings from Spain.

[@lstruggy]

Nice 👍🏽 I’ve replaced that plastic cylinder sensor thingy bought it from dodge Chrysler dealership ($80)back when my 07 jgc hit 115K bout 10 years ago cause it had transmission leak w worn out ring and never had a leak since. I now have 232K and still no leaks should I replace that again now or just leave it alone? 🤔

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I always say if it’s not broke don’t fix it. But you are already there if you have the time and money 🤷‍♂️ 🍻

[@GametimeSlime]

How is she doing now? I’m scared to check my fluid I’m not sure if the previous owner ever changed the fluid. I don’t want her to slip after the flush

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Jeeps doing great , getting ready to drive to LA in it. 🍻

[@montygo2003]

thank you so much so do you think if changing the o-ring on sensor alone will stop the leak ? by chance do you have the part number for adaptor plug?is it a dealer item?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

If it’s leaking there , it should fix the leak, replacement parts are in link in the description box of this video. 🍻

[@JoseGarcia-oo5ro]

Great video I hav a Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport with 225645 miles do you recommend to do the transmission oil change or not

[@lard1892]

Why would you ask this guy???

[@davidbate6346]

If the trans fluid in the pan is dark and nasty, the magnet is full of junk, Do not do a flush. If the pan is clean and the fluid looks good, You can do a flush.

[@sstjacques]

hahaha, watched this video a second time... when taking the pan gasket out to free the pan.... in bottom left corner of video, I see dog laying on its back rolling back and forth while you are filming, like trying to scratch its back or something.. Hilarious, include the dog in your next video, if that is your dog... LOL

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Haha yeah she’s in all my videos, she likes hanging out. 🍻

[@queensapphire7717]

Think it’s worth it to coat the exterior of the trans pan with black rust protector paint ? I have a problem with the NAG1 filter that it does not have any type of screw to seat it in, just held in by friction.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Absolutely, I thought that was strange too but the filter does seem secure enough, if properly installed. I suppose the pan would keep it from coming completely off. But I agree for off-road should be secured with a fastener. Good thing the new gasket sealed up great! 🍻

[@rafaelinzunza4995]

Can I change only the plug without having to change the transmission oil ?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

You should be able too, I did so that I can clean the area and sand won’t fall into the transmission

[@rafaelinzunza4995]

Thanks 👍

[@bgriff2517]

Doesn’t an automatic JKu have a drain plug on the transmission like the manual version?

[@queensapphire7717]

Uh oh, oil leak probably blown oil cooler housing, a problem just about every Pentastar has, and what should be a lifetime warranty item for all Pentastar motors. I am not sure if the Dorman aluminum unit is the fix, as it also has problems with seals blowing, whether you use included, Felpro or Mopar seals, the whole design and engineering of it is a huge flop. I had mine replaced, on my 2016 75th Anniversary Edition at 50k miles (still under warranty), and the dealer told me the latest version of the Mopar part addresses many of the issues, not all, but many. The December 2022 cold blast up here, in the North East (I’m in NY) was dubbed “The Great Crackening” for JK/U owners with the 3.6. 3 of my friends with Jeeps had their oil coolers fail too because of this. Mine failed, and so did my rear main seal. Luckily, I had the Jeep Certified Pre Owned 7 year / 100k mile Powertrain warranty (included for free with purchase in 2018), that covered both, that would have been $2200 to be serviced by the dealer, if I had to pay myself. I am covered until April 2024, so if it happens again, hopefully before then.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

All very good information and this would make sense why this problem has been so popular! It’s very annoying that Jeeps allows this with out a lawsuit! I I guess we are the greater fools, which will only hurt them in the long run. Even though Doorman claims this is a fix , I still do not know, however 6k miles and still no leaked on the oil housing! On this video the transmission connection o ring had failed, since I was already there was a good time to pan flush the unit! Thanks for watching 🍻

@@rubengarcia-kt3dy at that mileage I would do a full service 13qt flush, try and take it to a shop that can properly do it avoiding the suction machines.

@@ATEMOFFROAD Thank you!!!! I’ve had this leak for a few weeks and COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE! I thought it was engine oil. It’s leaking right out of that connector.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@neil12011 if it’s red , transmission, brown engine oil . The engine oil leak up top on the valley where the oil cooler is can really be tricky to spot and some will think is a rear main or transmission leak, I found the best way is to sample the oil and examine closely. Place samples on white printer paper and compare new and old red or brown for engine or transmission. Also look on-top of the engine with a flashlight down below where the oil filter cap is if it puddling up there with oil it’s likely that leaking.

[@neil12011]

@@ATEMOFFROAD Yes sir. Had the oil cooler replaced last month, so I’m well versed there. The oil looked brownish so that was throwing me off. The valley by the oil cooler is dry, and checked that to make sure. I used my cell to peek into that 13 pin connector area, and there was a pool of oil. It’s dirty so hard to tell the color honestly. But there’s a small puddle by that connector and it’s wicking it’s way up that wiring harness. It’s also following gravity and pooling at the transmission pan bolts also. Come to think of it, it definitely looked brown, but the engine side top to bottom is bone dry. Only at that adapter plug is there oil… damn, I may have misspoke.

Next time, spend the $12.00 on a fluid transfer pump to suck out the transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. That way, there is no fluid to leak all over you.

I have one , just didn’t have the long sturdy tube to reach to the bottom of pan at the time. Good idea 👍🏼
