i need to service my trans and i don't know what autotrans in it ? I've seen two different numbers for auto trans and if any one knows what filter and gaskets i need from napa and also what trans fluid and how much ? and if theres any other things that needs to be done when i'm in there. thank you

 

...first of all welcome fellow desert rat. On your parts... fill out your signature and we'll be able to see your "make, model, year, etc....". On parts. I would go to the dealer and get the filter and reusable pan gasket. I've had the pan off my truck three or four times and the race car about seven with ZERO leak issues. It's a nice piece.

 

sorry about not telling everything about truck

1999 2500 4x4 quad cab, auto trans,straight pipe , superchip, I hope thats enough info thanks

 

you have the 47RE

 

thanks for the info. is there a band adjustment some where and if so is there a diagram on the web that i could look at and print out to have when doing ?
and what trans fluid is best for the dodge taht works good that is not a synthetic ? thanks again for the help

 

There are two bands to adjust, the front one is on the drivers side of the case, up above the shift levers, the rear band must be adjusted with the pan off the transmission. You torque these to 72 INCH/lbs and then back them off from there. These specs did differ a bit from year to year. You can find this info in a Factory Service Manual (FSM). Chrysler recommends ATF +3 or +4 depending on the year. The +4 is a synthetic oil. I use it all the time and buy it at NAPA, it is about 3.70 per quart. I use the Valvoline stuff, the part number is VV 346.

 

thanks for the info on my trans. how much fluid do i need ? what filter should i use ? is there any pictures of the band adjustment that i can get?

 

If you are just changing the fluid then you'll need about 7 quarts. Get the OEM filter.
The band adjustment procedure is in the tech section.
Everything you need is all here on this site and FREE!!

 

thanks for the info. i forgot to ask what fluid is best for the dodge trans ? thank you

 

See my last post.

 

sorry about that i should have read a little closer before posting. thanks for the info

 

I believe your truck calls for ATF+3... But I recommend synthetic in stock trannys....actually in all autos, but especially in stock, and especially in the hot southwest!

go with ATF 4+ valvoline was on sale at napa for $3.49 qt

highly recommend patially dropping valve body to drain out more fluid. you can change out aprox. 9qts VS 4qt without dropping VB.

don't follow spec's on haynes manual. there's several links that gives good spec's . both frt and rear forks should have aprox. 1/4in adjustment if you used proper spec's.
