What type of Tranmission fluids is good for a 2000 Dodge Durango?

What type of Tranmission fluids is good for a 2000 Dodge Durango? I doing "NOT A FLUSH" I changing the gasket and the filter on the tranmission b/c is time already! The truck is not leaking from the gasket but the seal on the tranmission is broke is leaking tranny oil! I would Like to know if any tranmission fluids or gasket witch one is reccomended for Dodge? Where should I buy the filter and gasket at the dealership?|||Dodge calls for ATF+4. you can substitute dextron III only as a temporary solution. The permanant use of any transmission fluid that does not meet the ATF+4 specifications will cause an early failure of the transmission, I would recommend to find ATF+4 and save the hassle of trying other fluids. As far as filters go the ones available at NAPA or any other part store are good quality, keep in mind this transmission may have 2 filters in it, a traditional filter and a spin on one.|||B%26amp;M trick shift. Or ford type F. More friction material = harder shifts.|||ATF +4, that is was Dodge reccomends for this application. The gasket on this trans is reusable, but I would reccomend getting one at your local Dodge dealer (they need the help anyway). The filter is somewhat inexpensive but that gasket, if they have it, is about 35 bucks. They will prob reccomend you use ATF RTV for the gasket. part number 5010884AA. It works, but not as well as a real gakset. Good Luck|||Use ONLY ATF +4 for your transmission or risk transmission failure! ATF +4 is a full synthetic fluid. Do not use Dexron or Mercon.





Advance Auto has ATF +4, don't know how good it is but we are currently using it in the '02 Dodge Caravan in the fleet.
