Transmission filter kits?

944 Views 45 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  Mike N
I'm going to change the transmission filters and fluid in my 2015 2500 w/66RFE. I read that there were some bad aftermarket trans. filter kits out there a while ago that made the trucks going into limp mode. Anyone else hear this?

Are these WIX kits good to go? Or should I just get a factory Mopar filter kit from the stealership? @Randall Ave

ETA; I have the lifetime powertrain warranty if that matters.

Thanks, NYH1.

In the past to hold the cork gasket in place I have used a very fine film of grease to keep it from walking. Be sure to clean both surfaces with a very fine brillo and spray brake cleaner on rag and wipe.

I am big fan of hating trans. flush service and not changing the filter that's bull crap. Adding new fluid into a trans. with a dirty filter NOT. I changed my wardens trans. fluid last week on her 2016 chevy ls malibu. I found out the filter is internal you have to take down pan and remove parts to get at the filter to change which is not recommended. This car doesn't even have a trans. dipstick ! Had to pull off drivers side tire to ck . fluid. So eggszacty 4 qts. of was drained and filled with 1 gal. of Castrol dextron VI full syn. Not happy but done, car had 63k miles on it. $33 total. Good luck @NYH1

PS I heard @Randall Ave does rd. service :lol: :drinkup:
I don't have MP money! :biggrin:

Ask Randel.
Or
If a corky,,, use a very light coat of a spray on gasket sealer to hold it in place during installation.

I don't think the factory even uses a gasket. I think they just use RTV.
