stuck in 2nd

[project88mj]

i think it was a low fluid problem so how do i add some and what kind?

[feerocknok]

What tranny?

[Twisty]

if its an AW4, DexronIII will do. i don't know about any other tranny. maybe you could call a dealership, and ask. they are usualy helpful for me when i have a tech question like this.

I'll assume it's a manual.

You'll find the drain fill plugs on the drivers side for an AX-15, and on opposite sides if it's a BA-10 (I think)

the AX-15 is a big hex nut, the ba-10 uses something that looks like a pipe plug.

make sure you can open the fill plug BEFORE you drain the trans.

speaking of draining it, don't just add, you really need to see the old fluid to judge how badly your trans may be damaged.

Drain and refil with 75-90W GL3 rated oil for the AX-15, I don't know what a BA-10 takes.

BA-10 takes 75-90 GL-5 gear oil. The latest report from Chrysler says we can use 10-w40 (yup, engine oil) in the AX series transmissions. I have not been able to test that theory out yet since my truck is still in the garage on stands. :(
