2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 transmission fluid

FLUID
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID DRAIN AND REFILL
The fill (2) and drain (3) plugs are both in the rear
case.
1. Raise vehicle.

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the exhaust
y-pipe at the exhaust manifold to properly access
the fill and drain plugs. Lowering the exhaust will
allow the plugs to be accessed for torquing during
installation. (Refer to 11 - EXHAUST SYSTEM/EX-
HAUST PIPE - REMOVAL)

completely.
4. Install drain plug. Tighten plug to 20-34 Nꞏm (15-25
ft. lbs.).
5. Remove drain pan.
6. Fill transfer case to bottom edge of fill plug opening with Mopar
ATF +4, Automatic Transmission fluid.
7. Install and tighten fill plug to 20-34 Nꞏm (15-25 ft. lbs.).
8. Install the exhaust y-pipe to the exhaust manifold, if removed. (Refer to 11 - EXHAUST SYSTEM/EXHAUST
PIPE - INSTALLATION)
9. Wipe any excess fluid that mayhave spilled onto the exhaust.
10. Lower vehicle.

retainer is fully seated onto the differential.
4. Install the differential assembly (1) onto the main-
shaft (2).

8. Install clutch shaft (2) snap-ring (1).
9. Lubricate sector shaft with transmission fluid and
install shift sector (1) in case. Position slot in sector
so it will be aligned with shift fork pin when shift
forks are installed.
10. Install the shift sector o-ring.
11. Assemble and install range fork (2) and hub (1).
Be sure hub is properly seated in low range gear
and engaged to the input gear.
12. Align and insert range fork pin in shift sector slot.

14. Insert magnet (1) in front case pocket (2).
OIL PUMP AND REAR CASE
Lubricate the oil pump components with transmission
fluid before installation. Prime the oil pickup tube by
pouring a little oil into the tube before installation.
CAUTION: Do not remove the bolts holding the oil
pump cover to the rear case half. The oil pump
cover is aligned to the rear output shaft inner
bearing race and will become mis-aligned if the
bolts are loosened. If the transfer case failure has
generated any debris which may have become
trapped in the oil pump. the rear case and oil
pump assembly MUST be replaced.
1. Install new o-ring in pickup tube inlet of oil pump, if
necessary.
2. Insert oil pickup tube into the oil pump.
3. Apply bead of Mopar
Gasket Maker, or equivalent,
to mating surface of front case. Keep sealer bead width to maximum of 3/16 inch. Do not use excessive amount
of sealer as excess will be displaced into case interior.
4. Align oil pump with mainshaft and align shift rail with bore in rear case.Then install rear case and oil pump
assembly (1).
5. Install rear output bearing snap-ring (3) to output
shaft (1).

REAR EXTENSION
1. Install new seal in rear extension housing seal with
Seal Installer D-163 and Universal Handle C-4171.
Verify that the weep hole in the rubber is oriented
downward.
2. Apply bead of Mopar
Gasket Maker, or equivalent,
to mating surface of rear extension housing. Keep
sealer bead width to maximum of 3/16 inch. Do not
use excessive amount of sealer as excess could
be displaced into output bearing.
3. Align and install rear extension (1) on the transfer
case (2).
4. Apply Mopar
Silicone Sealer to threads of rear
extension housing bolts. Then install and tighten
bolts to 16-24 Nꞏm (12-18 ft. lbs.) torque.
INSTALLATION
1. Mount transfer case on a transmission jack.
2. Secure transfer case to jack with chains.
3. Position transfer case under vehicle.
4. Align transfer case and transmission shafts and install transfer case onto the transmission.
5. Install and tighten transfer case attaching nuts to 27-34 Nꞏm (20-25 ft.lbs.) torque.
6. Connect the vent hose.
7. Connect the shift motor and mode sensor wiring connectors. Secure wire harness to clips on transfer case.
8. Align and connect the propeller shafts. (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/PROPELLER SHAFT/FRONT
PROPELLER SHAFT - INSTALLATION) (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/PROPELLER SHAFT/REAR
PROPELLER SHAFT - INSTALLATION)
9. Fill transfer case with correct fluid. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE/FLUID - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE)
