FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE-TRANSMISSION
SUMP
When the factory fill fluid is changed, only
fluids of the type labeled Mopar ATF Plus (Auto-
matic Transmission fluid) Type 7176 should be
used. A filter change should be made at the time
of the oil change. The magnet (on the inside of
the oil pan) should also be cleaned with a clean,
dry cloth.
If the transaxle is disassembled for any reason,
the fluid and filter should be changed.
(1) Raise vehicle on a hoist (See Lubrication, Group
0). Place a drain container with a large opening, under
transaxle oil pan.
(2) Loosen pan bolts and tap the pan at one corner to
break it loose allowing fluid to drain, then remove the
oil pan.
(3) Install a new filter and o-ring on bottom of the
valve body and tighten retaining screws to 5 N
I
m (40
in. lbs.).
(4) Clean the oil pan and magnet. Reinstall pan
using new Mopar Silicone Adhesive sealant. Tighten oil
pan bolts to 19 N
I
m (165 in. lbs.).
(5) Pour four quarts of Mopar ATF Plus (Automatic
Transmission Fluid) Type 7176 through the dipstick
opening.
(6) Start engine and allow to idle for at least one
minute. Then, with parking and service brakes ap-
plied, move selector lever momentarily to each posi-
tion, ending in the park or neutral position.
(7) Add sufficient fluid to bring the level 1/4 inch
above the bottom hole of the dipstick. Room tempera-
ture oil (70°F.) set at this level will expand (when
heated to 180°F.) to a level within the hot range (Fig.
3).
Recheck the fluid level after the transaxle has
reached normal operating temperature (180°F.) to en-
sure the level is within the hot range.
To prevent dirt from entering transaxle, make cer-
tain that dipstick is full seated into the dipstick open-
ing.
FLUID DRAIN AND REFILL-DIFFERENTIAL SUMP
The differential fluid can be drained and filled with-
out having to remove the transaxle from the vehicle.
Use only Mopar 80W-90 petroleum based hypoid gear
lubricant when replacing fluid.
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Remove differential drain plug located on the
bottom of the differential housing. Allow the fluid to
drain into oil drain pan.
(3) Remove differential fill plug located on the dif-
ferential side cover. This will assist the flow of fluid
from the drain plug hole.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install drain plug into differential housing.
Tighten drain plug to 7 N
I
m (60 in. lbs.)
(2) Fill differential with Mopar 80W-90 or equiva-
lent petroleum based hypoid gear lubricant. The fluid
should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. The
differential capacity is .946 liters (32 ounces).
CAUTION: Overfilling the differential can result in oil
foaming and/or oil loss from the differential vent.
(3) Install differential fill plug. Tighten fill plug to 47
N
I
m (35 ft. lbs.).
GEARSHIFT LINKAGE—COLUMN SHIFT
The gear shift linkage should be adjusted if any of
the following repairs or situations are encountered:
•
Transaxle replacement.
•
Valve body repair.
•
Shift cable replacement.
•
Column shifter replacement.
•
Interlock cable replacement.
•
When there is no cranking in park or neutral.
•
When the transaxle can be shifted without the key
in the ignition.
•
When the key can be removed with the shifter in
reverse.
•
When the key can not be removed with the shifter in
the park position.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove upper and lower steering column
shrouds, along with lower kick panel.
(2) Disconnect shifter cable from cable attaching
stud (pin).
(3) Remove clip from shift cable conduit bracket.
(4) From underhood side of dash panel unseat grom-
met and remove cable from interior of vehicle.
(5) Raise vehicle and remove transaxle fill tube.
Clean the area around the fill tube before removing.
This will prevent dirt from entering the transaxle once
the tube is removed.
