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 '1' (designating the 1.3L Turbo engine).
- Confirm the vehicle is a 4x4 or AWD model with the standard 3.73 final drive ratio (sales code DME).
- Locate the transmission identification tag on top of the case to verify compatibility.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Engine support bar / subframe support fixture
- Mopar Transmission Dipstick Tool (P/N 10323A or 2064600210)
- Bi-directional OBD2 scan tool (Chrysler wiTECH or equivalent)
- Transmission jack
- Torque wrench
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Mopar ZF 8 & 9 Speed ATF (P/N 68218925AB / 68157995AB) or ZF Lifeguard 9 fluid (pale green; do NOT use standard red ATF)
- Torque converter input shaft seal (front pump seal)
- CV axle seals
- Professional transmission cooler-line flush
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: TCM adaptive relearn (Quick Learn procedure)
A TCM adaptive relearn (Quick Learn) is mandatory after installation to clear adaptive memory and calibrate clutch engagement points. If replacing the TCM itself, it must be programmed with the vehicle's VIN and flashed with correct calibration files.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque converter must be fully seated in multiple steps before bolting transmission to engine to avoid cracking the internal oil pump.
- The internal filter is non-serviceable and should not be replaced during standard install.
- Fluid level must be checked strictly between 37°C (99°F) and 45°C (113°F) using a scan tool to monitor live temperature.
- Disable Engine Stop/Start (ESS) before performing the Quick Learn procedure to prevent calibration corruption.
- Ensure engine block alignment dowel pins are present and undamaged to prevent input shaft bushing wear.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Filling with standard red ATF (like ATF+4) instead of the required pale-green Mopar ZF 8 & 9 Speed / ZF Lifeguard 9 fluid.
- Incorrect fluid level checking due to lack of a traditional dipstick tube.
- Skipping the mandatory TCM Quick Learn adaptive relearn procedure.
- Ordering by engine size only without verifying the 1.3L Turbo bellhousing pattern and 3.73 final drive ratio.

- 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

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.
