My 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is doing the same thing - slipping gears. Hopefully it’s just low on transmission fluid. I took it to one garage and they said “you have a sealed transmission so we can’t check it. You have to take it to a dealer.” NO WAY! A dealership is gonna nickel and dime me. Thanks for this video!!!

Thanks for the good video. I used to work at ITP4 (Daimler Chrysler Indiana Transmission Plant Sector 4) The plant was actually installed and commissioned to build only the 62TE platform. Brother, we couldn't get them out fast enough! They were designed with one thing only in mind. To populate the roads with as many as possible. At first, no expense was spared and so many of our parts came from Germany while Shanghai spooled up. Those transmissions had the best parts but the worst assembly processes in ITP4 while we learned how to build them.. After 18 month of that, the whole damn thing flipped over to being horrible parts and just working with what we had.. For what its worth, if you just keep the fluid clean and the pan wiped out every 60k or so, they'll serve the owner well, who drives cool and doesn't race the hell out of them. The two big things that kill the 62TE is heat and contam. Keep them cool and clean and don't skip out on the fluid swap. If you do, just leave them alone because now you are just on borrowed time. My advice is if you let them go past 120k, sell the damn thing.

I will just make me a stick so I don't have to redo it 😂 but definitely awesome tip 💪🏻✊🏻✌️

They don't have a transmission dipstick because they say that their transmission fluid does not have to be changed during the lifetime... Question is just what they consider "a lifetime"... Once the warranty is over, the lifetime is over? What if I drive the Grand Caravan longer than the warranty lasts?... Thanks for the video!

Take your mark and use a small scribe and make a little line its top in the bottom of your marks and then don't worry about washing off.Because it'll just be there so you can check it easily any time.I've done that.I have that on five different vans

Thank you so much for helping me out🎉🎉🎉🎉

The graph at 13:27 shoes 2.1 for low and inches and 2.4 for full. Also your transmission will never reach 200°F in 15 seconds of driving

I have a 2011 Dodge caravan with a 3.6 vvt I have a fuel leak if I am standing at the front driver side looking at the motor almost towards the back is where I noticed it. What could it be?

But that's only half the job. Now that you know that fluid needs to be added, how do you add fluid with the opening way down there where you can't even see it? Is there a special tube or funnel or other device to facilitate adding the fluid?

@Southsideboystyle

Use a funnel as I do. With a long narrow spout.

After warming up the Caravan, where/how do I add the trans fluid, if needed?

Your vid says to drive it for just 15 SECONDS to warm it up. Better change it to minutes or it won't be warmed up and you won't get an accurate reading because the fluid won't be expanded and you will end up adding too much fluid.

In manual it says you need to change it every 60000 miles(if I remember right). Dodge just doesn't want people to work on their own cars and they want you to bring it to the dealer so they can charge you for stuff people could normally do themselves.. If you do not ever change your trans fluid your car wont last long... All fluids over time break down and get dirty there are some dealers that say "it's a life time fluid" what they mean is that the fluid will last the warranty and then after that it's not their problem..

When you drive around to heat up the transmission fluid and then come back and turn it off and do the measurement right then and there (not taking a break and going to the restroom and drinking a coffee and chatting with the wife and all of that lol, but do it right then), wouldn't that suffice?

use mm and cm for next measurement . i promise you the fact that fractions are not involved results in a more accurate and math ease.

YES! Finally someone comes to his senses... 1 7/16... seriously... Why not just 41mm (or whatever is closest)... 1 MM is WAY more accurate than 1/16 of an inch... However, it really gets me when people combine the metric system and the US system with 1/16, 1/12 and so on, like when someone writes a measurement of 0.7 INCH... So what is .7 inch? Basically it is 0.7 of an inch, so one inch divided by 10, multiplied by 7, but an inch is divided in 16th, So 16 divided by 10 and times 7, hence 1.6 times 7, which also leaves us with a metric system result... I mean, come on, make a decision and go for the metric system, you are still in the USA and nobody will laugh and bully you, it is just simpler and easier, 10, 100, 1000... Not 1/12, 1/16, 3 feet, and all the other things... Multiply/divide by 10 and done... 10mm = 1cm... 10cm = 1dm... 100cm = 1m... 1000m = 1km... And so on...

Einstein once said that if you can't explain something simply then you don't understand it well enough... he left out the part where you can explain something well enough to someone simple and they still won't understand... so sometimes it takes a lot to explain stuff... this video is a simple explanation but may seem complex to some...
