Was putting new transmission fluid in my car last night (01 Dodge

If it's one quart don't worry about it, but for reasons like this always buy one more quart than you think you'll need. If you don't end up using it you could just return it.

Yeah, it was stupid not to buy enough, it won't hurt it though? Whats the difference between the various kinds?

>>17396073
Additives, boiling points, hydraulic resistances, and viscocities. Engineering aside, it's like the differences in motor oil each Tranny is different.

>>17396073
What's more important is knowing when to do a flush vs a fluid change. Other than that you'll be fine

So I'm fine to leave it in?

>>17396239
Yeah you're fine

That stuff is a dangerous, damaging, low viscosity hell-scam. Stay the fuck away.

>>17396263
Why does everything say my car needs it then?

>>17396265
It was only a quart you'll be fine, you shouldn't mix alcohol,but if you had some tequila with your beer your liver won't explode.

It's an 01 dodge neon. That should answer your question.

Dollar General got sued over the shit motor oil they sell. Transmissions are FAR more sensitive to fluid than any engine is. The wrong fluid can completely FUCK a transmission over. And newer cars are far more sensitive than back in the days where you had two choices: Type F or Dexron II.

Me? In my cars, I only use OEM ATF. I don't even trust shit from Valvoline, Castrol, Pennzoil, etc,, let alone shit that 7-11 sells. Getting the *correct* ATF from the dealer costs $30. A new tranny costs $3000. I did the math, I'll spend the extra $15 on every transmission fluid change.

it should be fine

former neon owner and i'd make a joke that dodge transmissions dont last longer than 150k miles anyway

but lol the neons are pretty good at not dying even if you actively try to killit. the rear drum brake explodes just before 100k miles and there will be electrical issues but itll always shift into gear with atf

i used to do deliveries in a couple neons. even in a blizzard. they are shitboxes but you can crash them all day and they tend to keep going somehow..ive bought like 3 on craigslsit cause you can talk ppl down to mitsubishi gallant prices.

be sure to pull the handbrake and powerslide that bitch around. the way the back end sticks up on them makes them surprisingly fun for front wheel drive shitboxes
