Rear Diff and Transmission oil change

[Hellcatcfp]

2018 Charger Hellcat - 53,427 miles.

Looking to change rear diff oil and maybe get a magnetic drain plug?

A little hesitant about changing transmission fluid due to creating issues? Most likely have my local shop help. Any advise or issues other than expensive fluid?

Coolant has been done multiple times due to warranty repairs...so good on that for a while.

Appreciate it.

Definitely get one for the diff, I have some metal in mine.

I had both of these done somewhat recently, both at the dealership. Diff was real quick and pretty cheap, tranny was more expensive as it is sealed with a removable panel/cover that has the filter built into it that they replace when they do this. Dealer tech said the tranny did a real weird thing and clunk when they engaged it for the first time, performed a relearn procedure on it, and it has been flawless ever since. Maybe it was just pressurizing back up? I dunno, they told me to be really alert to it for a bit, but I have not had as issue. It actually performs and shifts great.

Probably didn't fill it right, there's a very specific fill procedure. You can't do the trans unless you have the car in the air and someone in the car going through the gears while you fill

You can't fill the transmission or even pull the drain plug with the car off and not running

Good info, where were you when I was getting the service done?!?

Do you think I have anything to worry about. My platinum warranty expires in September, I was gonna have the car really looked over before that for any potential claims. My service advisor and tech are really great and will do what I want/need. They actually brought up the tranny but I was like nah it seems to be working great.

I'd just confirm that they followed the fill procured and ask if they checked the fluid level with the car off or running and see what they say

 

[Unholy707]

You need to do the fill procedure between a certain temperature range. Put the car in first, foot in brake. Reverse, foot brake. Bring up rpms, etc. it's a very specific process - it ensures everything is full of fluid when you check the level to confirm if it's actually full or not since there's no dipstick
