Automatic Transmission Service Writeup?

[tex]

I'm almost to 60,000 miles and I will need to change my transmission fluid soon. I didn't see anything at Stu's or JeepUS41.org. Where can I find a good writeup?

Try this:

Isn't the NV3550 a manual transmission?

Sorry, didn't notice you had an '04: yes, that's the manual.

I did a quick google on it and you're right, there's not many write-ups on this. The only one I could find is a website apparently set up for single Jeepers to meet. Strikes me as odd, but more power to them:

Assuming you're going to pull the pan to change out the filter, it's a pain in the arse but the only real complication is tugging the pan away without the dipstick tube seperating. I haven't done this on the Unlimited yet (only at 15k miles), but assume it's the same as my old '99 Cherokee.

That will work. Thank you very much. If you see someone waving at you from a rental car later this week, that's me. (unless I have to put 2000 miles on my Jeep) I'll be in St. Louis from Thursday-Monday and maybe until next Thursday.
