When the fluid smells burned, and is contaminated with metal or friction material particles, a complete transaxle recondition is probably required. Be sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick closely. If there is any doubt about its condition, drain out a sample for a double check.<\/p>\n<p>MOPAR\u00ae ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.<\/p>\n<p>After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am wanting to check my transmission fluid level and possibly change the fluid and filter but am unable to locate the dipstick or fill port.
