I had the Transmission leak fixed the other day and i noticed the Crossfire tech ,
unlocked the dipstick keeper and use a dip stick to check the fluid level......
the Tech gave me the part number to the tool ( dipstick) miller 8863B

he used and the fulid part number also
P/N 5127382AA

also when done with checking fluid,
he had a retainer clip he locked the dipstick hole with .. i did not get that part #

Hi Guys, Sorry to bump an old thread but changing A/T fluid maybe a good idea. My question is, is it really bad, like damaging the tranny, if I don't change the fluid again in the next few hundred miles?

Re: Automatic transmission fluid check tool length?
 

Change fluid _again_? How many miles since your last change, if at all? Remember to change/clean automatic transmissions' filter(s), as well as the pan gasket, too when changing the fluid.

I worked in a trans shop many years ago, and smelling, feeling, and looking at the fluid, as well as test driving, is very telling of the transmission's condition.

Back in 2009 Woody posted a comment that overfilling the automatic transmission in the Crossfire (mine's an SRT coupe, the only one in Hawaii) will cause no harm. Is this true? Thanks.

Oh, and BTW, someone posted that Shell #3403 is the appropriate ATF. Are their others? Or equivalents? Thanks.
