  Q: How to Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid in a 41TE Transaxle on Chrysler Sebring?

  A:

  Before doing anything, make sure to follow the recommended intervals in your owner's manual. Always use Mopar ATF+4 and get the filter changed while you have the transmission oil replaced. If you disassemble the transaxle, change both the fluid and the filter at the same time. Put a car hoist in place and put a drain container under the Oil Pan at the base of the transaxle. With the bolts loosened, place the pan against the ground and tap one part to free up the oil. Replace the filter and O-ring at the valve bottom, clean both the oil pan and the magnet and reattach the pan with new Mopar Silicone Adhesive, tightening the bolts to 19 Nm (165 inch lbs.). Pour in four quarts of ATF+4, begin the engine and allow it to idle for a whole minute. Using the brake, move the gear lever for a moment to each gear, stopping in park or neutral. Knowing the lowest mark on the dipstick, add fluid to make sure the transaxle fluid is 3mm (1/8 inch) below that mark and then look at the level again when the transaxle has cooled down to 180°F. Be sure the dipstick is pushed down all the way so dirt does not enter the transaxle. If using the dipstick tube fluid suction method, the transaxle should be warm, you need a proper suction device and you should make sure the suction line touches the lowest part of the oil pan within the tube. Once the suction line has been removed, pour four quarts of Mopar ATF+4 in using the dipstick opening, start up the car and repeat the steps you used to examine and adjust the fluid level the first time.

  Q: How to Service an Automatic Transmission Filter According to the Owner's Manual on Chrysler Sebring?

  A:

  Review the manual of your vehicle for the best suggested maintenance timing for the transaxle's fluid and filter service. Use leopard ATF +4 and exchange the filter at the same time. If the transaxle is apart, wipe the magnet clean and change both the fluid and the filter when replacing the fluid. The first step is to jack up the car, put a container below the Oil Pan and drain the oil. Loose the bolts on the pan, tap one part to get the drain hole unstuck and pull out the oil pan to let the fluid drain. Replace the filter and O-ring on the bottom of the valve body, clean both the oil pan and magnet, use new Mopar Silicone Adhesive to install the oil pan tightening to 19 Nm (165 in. lbs.). Send four quarts of Mopar Type 9602 ATF +4 down the dipstick hole, start the engine and leave it running for one minute. Put both your parking and service brakes on, move the selector lever to each setting several times and set the selector to either park or neutral. Measure the transaxle fluid and make sure it is 3 mm (1/8 inch) below the lowest mark on the dipstick, then recheck the level once the transaxle is not hot, usually when it falls to about 83°C (180°F). Put the dipstick entirely in the hole to avoid letting dirt in the transaxle. When using the fluid suction method, the transaxle has to be fully warm, you have to use an appropriate device and ensure the suction line is in the dipstick tube all the way to the lowest part of the oil pan. Open the drain plug, empty the old fluid, remove the suction line, then pour four quarts of Mopar ATF +4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Type 9602 through the dipstick as needed, after which you start the engine. Remember to return the dipstick, check and adjust the fluid level and make sure it's fully seated to complete the steps.
