  Q: How to Choose the Right Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid for the 42RLE Transmission on Dodge Challenger?

  A:

  Piston flow with variation. The only approved fluid for the 42RLE Automatic Transmission is Mopar® ATF+4 and it is recommended to replace the filter during a transmission oil change and clean the magnet inside the Oil Pan with a clean, dry cloth. After the transmission is taken apart, change the fluid and filter too. At first, put the vehicle on a hoist and place a container to catch the drained oil under the transmission's oil pan. Out of all the bolts that attach your oil pan, just one has a sealing patch on it from the factory and needs to be removed and put back on. Unscrew the pan bolts and tap one spot on the pan to loose it, so the fluid can drain before removing the oil pan. Place a new filter and o-ring onto the bottom of the Valve Body and tighten the retaining screws to 5 Nm or 45 in. lbs. In the area specified, apply some Mopar® Lock AND Seal Adhesive to the sealing patch on the oil pan bolt just before putting it in place. Wipe down the oil pan as well as the magnet before fitting the pan with fresh Mopar® Silicone Adhesive and tighten bolts to 20 Nm (14.5 ft. lbs.). Insert four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4 into the dipstick tube, turn on the engine and idle it for one minute or more. Once you have your parking and service brakes on, hold each position on the shift lever for a second or two before moving it into park or neutral. See if the transmission fluid is at the proper level, adding journal bearings when you need to fill to the level marked 3mm or 1/8 in. below the lowest point on the dipstick. Recheck how much transmission fluid is present after it has reached its operating temperature of 82°C (180°F) and be sure the dipstick is not up too far inside so that dirt cannot get into the transmission.

  Q: How to Service and Repair an Automatic Transmission Filter in the NAG1 System on Dodge Challenger?

  A:

  First, run the engine for a bit until the transmission oil is warm, in order to service and change the Automatic Transmission fluid and filter. After that, use the jack to get the vehicle high off the ground. After removing the five bolts and four retainers, pull out the transmission Oil Pan and take out the old gasket as well. Take the oil filter and o-ring out of the electrohydraulic control unit after that. Check the oil pan and clean its inside and arrange to replace the gasket if it is needed. Next, put in a new oil filter and o-ring and then replace the oil pan and its gasket onto the transmission. Use the bolts and retainers to install the oil pan and tighten the bolts to 8 Nm (or 70 in.lbs.). With the car back on the ground, put in 5.0 L (10.6 pts.) of transmission fluid and look at the oil level.
