Hmmm... The owners manual for my Dak and my minivan call for an auto
trans fluid and
filter change every 15K miles (rough service - such as towing, all short
trip city miles, etc.) or every 60K miles (normal use). If you don't
perform scheduled maintenance, can Dodge void your warranty or refuse
any warranty trans work?
Whats the deal with the NVG3500 5spd manual trans? The owners manual
calls out an oil change schedule for the manual trans used with the
I4 and the 3.9L, but no change recommendations for the NVG3500.
