Transmission light wont go off

Regardless if your '07 Dodge Caliber has a 1.8L or a 2.0L engine, the transmission fluid capacity is the same. What will make a difference is the type and size of any auxiliary coolers that the vehicle may or may not utilize, and what type of service you are performing. For example, if the transmission is being overhauled and the torque converter is empty, the "dry fill" capacity is 8.6 quarts. On the other hand (and much more likely), if the transmission is being serviced inside the vehicle, the "service fill" capacity is 7.4 quarts. Be sure to only use the manufacturer recommended Mopar CVT+4 or equivalent; not all transmission fluids are the same and adding an incorrect type could damage the transmission.

ther will be a drain bung on bottom of transmision box to drain

Add transmission fluid to the same tube you check the transmission fluid level. It will resemble the oil dipstick tube, only it's a larger tube that will accommodate a funnel to add additional fluid. It's important not to overfill the recommended level so try adding 1/2 quart at a time until the level is withing the markings on the transmission fluid dipstick.

3 GALLONS is a lot,Are you sure it's not 3 quarts,which isn't enough. If it is gallons then drain it out because you going to damage the pump, if it is quarts then keep adding until it shows up on the dipstick at the bottom, then after it has been driven add as needed to get it to the full mark. ONLY use dexron fluid!!!!

9 QUARTS??? Dude! that transmission barely holds 9 quarts when it is totally empty! You are going to destroy some stuff and have fluid everywhere!

The transmission fluid level must be checked from under the vehicle. It is easiest on a lift, but if you can get the car up on jack stands or something, that will work, as long as the car is LEVEL. To check the fluid level, start and run the engine for several minutes to get the oil hot. Then remove the check plug located just below and forward of the right drive axle. (See picture below) The fluid should be level with the edge of the hole (or just barely running out) when it is full. (This is checked with the engine RUNNING)

For the harsh engagement problem, I would recommend checking your motor mounts, NOT adding fluid.

you will check the oil with then engine off. Pull the oil dipstick (yellow one) and wipe clean. Reinsert the dipstick and pull out. The oil level should be in the hash marks. If the level is below the hash marks than start by adding one quart and recheck. One quart will change the oil level from the bottom of the hash marks to the top of the hash marks.

The transmission fluid needs to be checked with the engine running. Preferably warmed up to operating temperature. With your foot on the brake engage the transmission through all the gears and then back into park. With the engine still running remove the transmission dipstick (red one) and wipe clean. Reinsert the dipstick and pull out. The fluid level should be in btween the hot marks. If it is low start by adding 1/2 quart at a time through the transmission dipstick tube. You will need a funnel small enough to fit in the tube to do this. It will take a while for the fluid to drain out of the tube. Recheck check the fluid level and continue adding in 1/2 quart increments until the level is in between the hot marks.

From a totally dry condition with Torque Converter empty the book indicates 4 Quarts. The best way to check is to add 1 pint if you are at the low marks with the engine warm and idling in Park. If you have drained the Transmission to change the filter, start by adding a quart and then check level and add a pint then check level, continue the process of adding fluid a pint at a time and checking level until you get the level to a place between the marks. Drive the vehicle for a few blocks, check and add fluid as needed.

No cause you only drain what was in the pan, the converter still had fluid in it, do not over fill

put in 3 quarts then run it until the trans fluid is hot and recheck, DONOT OVERFILL! u will most likely end up adding about 1 1/2 more quarts to top it off. Add the additional fluid slowly and recheck often.

make sure the car is warmed up....hold brake and put in drive, reverse, cycle through all gears, and check it again....if it still show low, add
