Message:
hey guys,,dumb question. On the 4.7 motor and related transmission - what's the proper procedure for changing the tranny fluid? I don't see a fill tube besides the dip for it. Do you fill there? Is the only choice for draining dropping the pan?

You can avoid a lot of the mess by pushing a tube down the filler pipe and siphoning out the great majority of the the sump fluid.

Correct RaZoR1 about the two filters. Both inside
tranny also bumbo.
First time changing is kinda messey. Install a
drain kit while the pan if off. Makes it a lot
easier next time around.
Stick with Chrysler's ATF+4 fluid also unless
your draining EVRYTHING including converter and
cooling lines to radiator. DON'T MIX! Chrysler is
ALWAYS looking for ways to void a warranty. You
can only get ATF+4 at the dealership. Not cheap
either. My system took almost 8 quarts to refill.
And remember this bumbo, NO QUESTION IS EVER TOO
DUMB TO ASK!
Good luck.
