woytec Posted Friday at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:45 PM Hello. My mechanic took out the automatic transmission and sealed all the covers. He drained all oil before. After sealing, he poured in 5.5 liters of Mopar ATF +4 oil. After picking up the car, I could hear the pump noises in the automatic gearbox, which is a sign of low oil level (I think so). I went to my garage and added 3 liters (according to the instructions, there should be a total of 8.5 liters). I heated the gearbox to 60 degrees C, (temperature read from the car's dashboard display). I checked the level by inserting the dipstick into the limiter, but the oil level is not visible (none). The instructions for the 62TE gearbox say: "When inserting dipstick special tool, any excessive force may cause the dipstick to slip past the stop bracket. An approximate distance the dipstick should be inserted into the fill tube is 424mm (16.690”). The dipstick tool will protrude from the fill tube when installed to the proper depth." According to my calculations, the limiter (stop bracket) is at a depth of 28.5 cm, not 42,4 cm ! I don't really know if the amount of oil is correct or not... or maybe my gearbox is a different model? Automatic transsmission data: ID numer: 721AD35060628 TPKTK3506D0628 721 P05169721AD AD Car: Dodge Journey GT AWD 3.6V Pentastar 2017 I am asking for advice and help.

Dean H Posted Friday at 09:55 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:55 PM Go to this thread, I posted fill information for the transmission. Replaced trans filter and now car won’t move. https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18323-replaced-trans-filter-and-now-car-won’t-move/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woytec Posted Saturday at 12:17 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:17 PM All activities were performed as described. I don't know why the limiter in the description is at a depth of 42.4 cm. This depth is further than the limiter in my case. In my automatic transmission the limiter is at a depth of 28.5 cm(screenshot from Youtube). When measured at 60 degrees C it should show at least 2 cm. In my case it doesn't show any level. My automatic gearbox has 8.5 liters of oil in it. What is happening ? Why is this happening ? Woytec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
