Default dodge trans service and band adjustment

Tools & Parts List

1. Transmission Fluid – 4 Quarts (8 quarts if you only lift the front of the vehicle.)
2. Funnel
3. Filter & Gasket
4. Floor Jack
5. Jack Stands – Capable of supporting vehicle in a raised position
6. Drain Pan – suggest one capable of holding 8 to 10 quarts fluid
7. Clean Rags
8. Gasket scraper or putty knife
9. Ratchet & extension
10. ― inch socket
11. Torque Wrench
12. Screwdriver
13. #25 Torx head driver
14. Small amount of grease
15. Solvent

Note:

The front and rear bands should be adjusted at this time as well. Information on that procedure can be found in the Tech Faq section under “How do I adjust the bands on my 47RE”? Dodge-Diesel.Org - DieselTruckResource.Com Online Store

Caution:

Transmission fluid can reach very high temperatures so only attempt this procedure after vehicle has had sufficient time to cool down completely.

1. With the vehicle parked on a solid flat surface, Raise and securely support the vehicle with jack stands.
2. Locate the drain pan under the transmission pan and remove the rear and side pan bolts, at this time only loosen the 4 front pan bolts 3 or 4 turns.
3. Using a screwdriver, carefully pry the transmission pan loose at the rear. This will allow the fluid to flow out of the pan. (Be certain to position yourself away from the pan as it can come out rather quickly.)
4. Slowly remove the front bolts and pour remaining fluid into drain pan.
5. Carefully using scraper or putty knife, clean all residues of gasket or sealant from transmission gasket surface.
6. Remove the 3 torx head screws holding the filter to the Transmission valve body. (see illustration # 2) Carefully remove any gasket material from the extremely delicate transmission valve body and replace with new filter and gasket. (Some filters come with the gasket attached to it.) Note: Rear transmission band adjustment bolt location is just inside of upper right hand corner of picture (out of view).
7. Clean out bottom of transmission pan with solvent. Use a solvent like brake cleaner or paint thinner. The large round washer in the pan is a magnet; it can be removed and cleaned thoroughly before replacing. The magnet catches the small metal particles associated with normal wear. As well as larger pieces that might indicate a potential problem.
8. Carefully remove all traces of the transmission pan gasket from the pan and clean thoroughly.
9. Place the new gasket on the transmission pan-mounting surface. Do not use a gasket sealer! A small amount of grease may be used to help hold the gasket in place.
10. Holding the pan and gasket against the transmission carefully start each bolt through the pan and gasket into the transmission. Moving in a circular direction around the transmission pan. slowly tighten the bolts a few turns at a time until just snug.
11. Torque the transmission pan bolts to 13 pounds using the same circular technique to assure even fit.
12. Lower the vehicle and using a funnel, pour approximately 3 to 3 ― quarts of transmission fluid into the transmission filler tube. (If you only raised the front of the truck you will need to use more fluid. (My 4x4 drains out about 7 to 7 ― quarts if I only raise the front of the vehicle to drain.)
13. Making certain parking brake is set and transmission is in park, run engine at a fast idle speed. Do not race the engine!
14. Holding down the brake, move the gear selector from park through each range and back several times.
15. With the transmission in Park check the fluid level, you will probably need to add a little to bring the level into the “Safe” zone on the dipstick.
16. Look under the vehicle for leaks and Pay particular attention to the level on the dipstick after the first few times you drive it. Also it wouldn’t hurt to recheck the torque on the Transmission pan bolts after a month or so of use. Sometimes the gasket will draw up a little and this will ensure you have no leaks.

Note: Front band adjustment bolt is located on left side of transmission (shown in center of picture) -
