  Q: How to Service and Replace an Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Chrysler Aspen?

  A:

  Drive the car up on safety stands, disconnect the fluid line and place a shallow and wide pan beneath the transmission pan. Take out the bolts holding the side and front of the pan to the transmission, loosen those in the back and gently pull the front apart so the fluid starts to drain. Once you've emptied the pan and it's standing level, unscrew the rest of the bolts and lift the pan away from the transmission, dumping the rest of the fluid into the drain pan. Disconnect the main Oil Filter (1) from the valve body and pump by removing its single screw, take off the filter and pour the fluid into the pan. Check the oil pump's oil filter seal; if it is damaged or not fully fitted, remove it, but if it is in good shape, you can reuse it. If you decide to replace the cooler return filter (2), use tool 8321 to unscrew it from the transmission and get rid of the used transmission fluid and filters the right way. Look at both the pan and magnet below and see if there is any sign of excess metal. A little metal on the clutch surfaces is acceptable apart from during times of slipping or delay in shifting. Wipe the pan and magnet with a suitable solvent and take off the sealant from the case and pan with a gasket scraper. During installation, place the primary oil filter seal against the oil pump's body instead of on its neck. Should a seal be needed, fit a new original equipment (Oe) primary oil filter seal inside the oil pump inlet bore using Installer 6960 or a similar tool. Place the replacement filter onto the valve body and insert it into the oil pump, next screw it into position and fasten it by turning it 4.5 Nm (40 in. lbs). If you need to, put a fresh cooler return filter onto the transmission and tighten it to 9.5 Nm (84 in. lbs.). On the transmission, put a layer of Rtv sealant along the case seal, fit the pan onto the transmission, attach the bolts and tighten each to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) rotational force. First, lower the vehicle and add the Mopar(R) Atf +4 to the transmission.

  Q: How to Change an Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Chrysler Aspen?

  A:

  Support and lift the vehicle on safety stands and under the transmission pan, position a big, low drain pan. Remove the bolts securing the pan to the front and sides, loosen the ones at the rear and slowly take off the front of the pan so fluid can drain into the pan. Remove the bolts from the pan while holding it steady and tip the pan away and down to take out any remaining oil. Remove the screw at the primary Oil Filter (1) from the valve body, separate the filter from the body and the oil pump and drain the fluid into the drain pan. Look at the oil filter seal in the oil pump; if it is damaged or not in place, throw it away and if it's fine, you can use it again. When replacing the cooler return filter (2), take it out using Oil Filter Wrench 8321. Don't throw away transmission fluid or filters in your waste bin. Check both the pan and the magnet underneath for large pieces of metal; just a thin layer of clutch material is fine as long as no slipping or lag occurs. Using a solvent, wipe down the pan and magnet, then use a gasket scraper to take off any remaining sealing material from the case and pan of the transmission. Ensure the oil filter seal is installed straight against the body of the oil pump, not on the filter neck during installation. Should the seal be damaged or worn, place a new primary oil filter seal at the oil pump inlet bore with the useful tool. Put the replacement filter against the valve body and into the oil pump, then attach a screw to hold the primary oil filter (1) to the valve body and tighten it to 4.5 Nm (40 in. lbs.). Replace the cooler return filter (2) if required onto the transmission and tighten it with 9.5 Nm (84 in.lbs. ) torque. Lay a small line of Mopar(R) Rtv sealant on the surface around the transmission, fix the pan in position and attach the bolts to secure it, applying 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) of force. After the vehicle comes down, fill the transmission with Mopar(R) Atf +4.
