)
( 1) - Approximate quantity listed.
( 2) - On gasoline engines, use an API energy conserving engine oil
that is certified for gasoline engines. On diesel engines, use
engine oil with API CF-4/SH or CG-4/SH rating for diesel
engines.
( 3) - Add this amount of fluid. Start engine and shift transmission
through all gears and back to Neutral. Add additional fluid to
bring fluid level to the MIN mark on dipstick. Recheck fluid
level with transmission at normal operating temperature. Adjust
fluid level to MAX mark on dipstick. Approximate drain and
refill capacity is 4.0 qts. (3.8L).
( 4) - Quantity may vary by type of oil cooler and oil cooler lines.
( 5) - Verify type of transmission used before servicing. The NV 3500
uses a flywheel housing which is an integral part of the
transmission housing. The NV 4500 uses a flywheel housing which
is bolted to the front of the transmission and transmission
contains a Power Take-Off (PTO) cover on passenger's side of
transmission.
( 6) - Heavy-duty transmission is used with 5.9L diesel and 8.0L.
( 7) - Models with Trac-Lok limited slip differential must have 5 ozs.
(.15L) of Mopar Trac-Lok Friction Modifier added if lubricant is\
changed.
( 8) - Models with Trac-Lok limited slip differential must have 6 ozs.
(.18L) of Mopar Trac-Lok Friction Modifier added if lubricant is\
changed.
( 9) - Models with Power-Lok limited slip differential must have 8 ozs.
(.24L) of Mopar Trac-Lok Friction Modifier added if lubricant is\
changed.
( 10 ) - Models with Trac-Lok limited slip differential must have Mopar
Trac-Lok Friction Modifier added if lubricant is changed. Add
7 ozs. (.24L) of modifier on 2WD models or 10 ozs. (.30L) on
4WD models.
( 11 ) - Use only Mopar power steering fluid. DO NOT use automatic
transmission fluid.
( 12 ) - Transfer case may be identified by model number stamped on
identification tag on rear of transfer case, just above filler
plug.

WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory
systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist
until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION
before disconnecting battery.

Removal
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Raise and support
vehicle. Disconnect and remove necessary skid plates and exhaust
components for transmission removal. Remove engine-to-transmission
struts (if equipped). These struts are located between front of
transmission and engine.
2) Ensure area around transmission oil cooler lines fitting
are clean. Disengage retainer on quick-disconnect cooler line fitting.
Pull cooler line from transmission oil cooler.
CAUTION: Crankshaft position sensor must be removed from transmission
housing before removing transmission to prevent damage to
crankshaft position sensor.
3) Remove starter. Disconnect electrical connector for
crankshaft position sensor. On 2.5L, crankshaft position sensor is
mounted on driver's side of transmission housing. See Fig. 1. On 3.9L,
5.2L and 5.9L, crankshaft position sensor is mounted on passenger's
side of transmission housing. See Fig. 2.
4) Remove crankshaft position sensor bolts or nuts. Remove
crankshaft position sensor from transmission housing. Remove dipstick,
dipstick tube and "O" ring from transmission.
5) Remove torque converter cover. Place reference mark on
flexplate and torque converter for installation reference. Rotate
crankshaft clockwise and remove torque converter bolts.
6) Place reference mark on drive shaft flanges for
installation reference. Remove drive shaft from transmission. On 4WD
models, disconnect drive shaft from transfer case. Disconnect shift
rod for transfer case from transfer case shift lever.
7) On all models, disconnect necessary control cables, wiring
harnesses, and shift linkage or cable from transmission. Support rear
of engine with jack stand. Using transmission jack, slightly raise
transmission to release pressure from rear mount and rear crossmember.
8) Remove bolts securing rear support and rear mount to
transmission and rear crossmember. Raise transmission slightly. Slide
exhaust hanger arm from bracket on rear support. Remove rear support
and rear mount.
9) Remove rear crossmember located below the transmission. On
4WD models, disconnect electrical connectors from transfer case. On
