This is by far the best video showing this procedure. No stupid music, gets to the point, and shows difficulties you may encounter, and how to get around them. Bravo. I was not even aware of that adapter plug, and now I am, a $33 part, for Mopar OEM, which I will make sure I have when I do it. The bolts in the trans cross member actually screw into the trans ? Another thing I did not know.
Thank You. I did mine today. The design of clearance between oil pan and exhaust cross pipe is so bad like many stupid designs of Wrangler. Sample hand brake adjustment. Thank You buddy for good video.
Thanks for doing this without sucking it from the top, i wanted to see the messy way of doing it. Will be doing mine outside on jack stands, in Feb., in VT... on a day its above freezing... but waiting for that day might be more toward March. LOL... I bought Jeep last year, with 101k, and not sure if previous owner ever did this service as fluids other than oil are the most neglected. Did the front and rear differential today on the 2015 Rubicon unlimited. I have the automatic trans.. wish I had manual.
I’m getting ready to do this again, this time I will replace the pan with a Dorman pan that has a drain plug. That should make these jobs much easier to do. Also I love manuals but the best thing on that jeep is the auto transmission IMO. www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3Q2Y97/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_BRG4AHYSFHGDMG2XMPR9?linkCode=ml2&tag=atemoffroad-20
Nice 👍🏽 I’ve replaced that plastic cylinder sensor thingy bought it from dodge Chrysler dealership ($80)back when my 07 jgc hit 115K bout 10 years ago cause it had transmission leak w worn out ring and never had a leak since. I now have 232K and still no leaks should I replace that again now or just leave it alone? 🤔
thank you so much so do you think if changing the o-ring on sensor alone will stop the leak ? by chance do you have the part number for adaptor plug?is it a dealer item?
Thanks for the video. I do think getting a $10 pump on Amazon or Harbor Freight is worth it to get the level down before taking off the pan though. Good to see both ways.

@@bgriff2517 unfortunately they don’t, but there is an upgrade pan you can use, check out this video Jeep Wrangler JK JKU - 90k Transmission Fluid & Filter Service + DOORMAN Pan With DRAIN PLUG Upgrade ruclips.net/video/ljyQKS103H0/видео.html
If the trans fluid in the pan is dark and nasty, the magnet is full of junk, Do not do a flush. If the pan is clean and the fluid looks good, You can do a flush.
Think it’s worth it to coat the exterior of the trans pan with black rust protector paint ? I have a problem with the NAG1 filter that it does not have any type of screw to seat it in, just held in by friction.
Absolutely, I thought that was strange too but the filter does seem secure enough, if properly installed. I suppose the pan would keep it from coming completely off. But I agree for off-road should be secured with a fastener. Good thing the new gasket sealed up great! 🍻

@@rubengarcia-kt3dy at that mileage I would do a full service 13qt flush, try and take it to a shop that can properly do it avoiding the suction machines.

Uh oh, oil leak probably blown oil cooler housing, a problem just about every Pentastar has, and what should be a lifetime warranty item for all Pentastar motors. I am not sure if the Dorman aluminum unit is the fix, as it also has problems with seals blowing, whether you use included, Felpro or Mopar seals, the whole design and engineering of it is a huge flop. I had mine replaced, on my 2016 75th Anniversary Edition at 50k miles (still under warranty), and the dealer told me the latest version of the Mopar part addresses many of the issues, not all, but many. The December 2022 cold blast up here, in the North East (I’m in NY) was dubbed “The Great Crackening” for JK/U owners with the 3.6. 3 of my friends with Jeeps had their oil coolers fail too because of this. Mine failed, and so did my rear main seal. Luckily, I had the Jeep Certified Pre Owned 7 year / 100k mile Powertrain warranty (included for free with purchase in 2018), that covered both, that would have been $2200 to be serviced by the dealer, if I had to pay myself. I am covered until April 2024, so if it happens again, hopefully before then.
All very good information and this would make sense why this problem has been so popular! It’s very annoying that Jeeps allows this with out a lawsuit! I I guess we are the greater fools, which will only hurt them in the long run. Even though Doorman claims this is a fix , I still do not know, however 6k miles and still no leaked on the oil housing!

Did this get resolved? Get a piece of paper and wipe the oil on the paper. Is it brown or reddish color? Brown would indicate oil cooler housing leak, or rear main seal , red check the ATF plug and pan gasket
Next time, spend the $12.00 on a fluid transfer pump to suck out the transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. That way, there is no fluid to leak all over you.
