Question on this dipstick for those in the know: Is this the same dipstick as is used in a 2005 Sprinter van NAG1 transmission? I have one of those and am hoping I don't need to buy another dipstick. Also, I didn't spend much time searching here, but I found the following information on another website: Below is information on the transmission fluid, dipstick, etc. for a 2008 Town & Country / Grand Caravan with a 3.8L engine: Transmission and Transfer Case/Automatic - 62TE/Special Tools Miller Tools: Transmission and Transfer Case/Automatic - 62TE/FLUID/Standard Procedure for Fluid Level Check WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running.

An approximate distance that the dipstick sould be inserted into the fill tube is 424 mm (16.69 in.). NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed. FLUID CONDITION MOPAR� ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change. After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt. The planetary gear train for the 62TE transaxle provides six forward gear ratios, including two fourth gear ratios. One reverse gear ratio is also provided. Underdrive (UD) Compounder Assembly Fore-Mounted Valve Body/Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION The 62TE transaxle is identified by a barcode label that is fixed to the transaxle or the “PK” number.. The label contains a series of digits that can be translated into useful information such as transaxle part number, date of manufacture, manufacturing origin, plant shift number, build sequence number, etc. Refer to for identification label breakdown. If the tag is not legible or missing, the “PK” number, which is stamped into the transaxle case behind the transfer gear cover, can be referred to for identification. This number differs slightly in that it contains the entire transaxle part number, rather than the last three digits.
