Know This Transmission Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this transmission family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right transmission shows up:
- Verify the 8th digit of the VIN is 'G' (3.6L V6) or '8' (3.0L gasoline V6).
- Verify the center console Selec-Terrain dial has a physical '4WD LOW' button.
- Check the driver's side door jamb sticker for the transmission Sales Code 'DFL'.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Heavy-duty transmission jack
- Torx T40 socket
- 8mm hex/Allen socket
- Fluid transfer pump
- Professional-grade diagnostic scan tool (wiTECH, Snap-on, or Autel)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Mopar 8 & 9 Speed ATF (or ZF Lifeguard 8 equivalent) - Do not use generic ATF, ATF+4, or Dexron VI
- New plastic transmission pan assembly with integrated filter, gasket, and single-use bolts
- Torque converter front pump seal
- Professional transmission cooler-line flush solvent
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: VIN-specific programming, TCM adaptive relearn, and Proxi Alignment
The TCM is integrated into the internal valve body and is locked to the donor VIN. A dealer-level scan tool (like wiTECH) is required to flash the new VIN, perform a Proxi Alignment, and execute the Quick Learn/Adaptive Relearn procedure.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque Converter Seating: Must feel three distinct drops/clicks. If not fully seated, bolting the transmission to the engine will crack the front pump.
- Plastic Pan Torque Sequence: Must be torqued in a criss-cross sequence to exactly 10 Nm (89 in-lbs) to prevent cracking or leaks.
- Thermal Bypass Valve: Transmission must reach full operating temperature (above 180°F / 82°C) during flushing and level checking to open the bypass valve.
- Fluid Fill Procedure: No dipstick. Fluid level must be checked from the side fill plug with the vehicle level, engine running, and fluid temperature strictly between 86°F (30°C) and 122°F (50°C).
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Ordering for a single-speed 4x4 or 2WD model instead of the required 2-speed transfer case model.
- Using incorrect fluid types like ATF+4 or Dexron VI instead of Mopar 8 & 9 Speed / ZF Lifeguard 8.
- Attempting to drive the vehicle without programming the replacement TCM, leading to immediate limp mode or immobilizer codes.
- Reusing the old plastic pan and clogged integrated filter.
- Failing to flush the cooler lines, which recirculates debris from the failed unit into the replacement transmission.
- Forcing the transmission to mate to the engine when the torque converter is not fully seated.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every transmission of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:
🔎 Recommended at install: TCM software update adding 'Auto Park' feature.
🔎 Recommended at install: Mandatory 'Transmission Shift Enhancements - Adaptation Drive Learn Procedure' using a scan tool.
🔎 Recommended at install: Flash TCM with the latest software.
🔎 Recommended at install: Do not replace transmission based on smell alone; fluid naturally exhibits a burnt odor due to additive formulation.
🔎 Recommended at install: Normal cold-operating strategy; typically disappears once fluid warms up.
🔎 Recommended at install: Address internal pressure loss due to worn valve body seals or failing shift solenoids.
🔎 Recommended at install: Requires complete transmission teardown to repair if engaged while rolling.

- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance

Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion

- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
