Usually you can tell if you have the correct kit by the shape of the pan gasket 
and the number of bolt holes in the pan gasket (before you take the pan off).

I'm not talking about the clothes.  that is minimal.  You volunteered

  For future reference: to drain the TC fluid, you want to take the oil

 I took off the hose furthest from the trans.  I figured I had a 50/50
 chance of getting oil coming out the hose.  Murphy is alive and well,
 because the nipple furthest form the back cylinder is the pressure side.  So
 I sprayed everything with oil, then shut it down and put the hose back on
 and took off the OTHER hose at the trans on the nipple closest to the back

 Counting the new oil pumped into the pan, I think I have about 7 qt in it

 warmed up, I will refill the fluid to the level.

[MBZ] Secret message for OK Don WAS: OT Caravan

[Dieselhead]

Changing the trans fluid and filter on the van was way easy, except 
for draining the TC.  Easier than an MB because you only have to 
raise the left front wheel a little. to get to the pan.  The pan was 
glued on with black RTV.  Next time I will have some permatex blue or 
red or RTV stuff handy too.  The filter has no screws.  just pops off 
and then you get a bath when the filter lands in the oil drain pan.


  For future reference: to drain the TC fluid, you want to take the 
oil cooler line closest to the back cylinder off at the trans and 
drop that hose in the pan.  Or you can take the radiator end off the 
other line, and drop the hose in the pan.


I took off the hose furthest from the trans.  I figured I had a 50/50 
chance of getting oil coming out the hose.  Murphy is alive and well, 
because the nipple furthest form the back cylinder is the pressure 
side.  So I sprayed everything with oil, then shut it down and put 
the hose back on and took off the OTHER hose at the trans on the 
nipple closest to the back cylinder.  only took a few more seconds 
for bright red oil to come out.


Counting the new oil pumped into the pan, I think I have about 7 qt 
in it now, and it is a little low.  After I cycle it through the 
gears and get it warmed up, I will refill the fluid to the level.


FLAPS could not tell me how much oil it should have taken with or w/o the TC.



IIRC, yes - it's as simple as the SL. I also don't think the TC has a drain
plug.

 I will work on the idle tomorrow or Sun afternoon.  Decided to change the
 trans oil and filter on the 00 Dogde caravan tomorrow, before I mess with
 the SL again.

 Anyone BTDT on a caravan or other crypsler product?  any gotchas?  I think
 it should be as simple as on the SL, except that I don't thing the TC has a
 drain plug.
