Re: [Chrysler300] Fw: Chrysler Auto Transmission

["Ron Kurtz" <Mark268@xxxx>]

Hello, everyone

Regarding transmissions, I was surprised to see the level of maintenance
required for my 2000 Durango. The owner's manual recommends frequent fluid
changes for the transmission, transfer case and differentials. I followed
the schedule and noticed the fluid in the transfer case really needed to be
changed.
