What to do in case of a Dodge gearbox problem?

It is always disconcerting when the gearbox breaks down, as it is a component that theoretically has the same life as the car. However, this theory can be distorted by external factors. If you lend your car to someone you know and their driving style is rather aggressive, they may put a little too much strain on the transmission, which will cause it to break down. If you drive on rough and uneven roads, the bumps and/or jolts of the vehicle may cause some of the transmission components to break. If the regular maintenance schedule is not followed, the parts are automatically more vulnerable to wear. As you can see, failures are usually caused by things that are beyond your control.

Dodge gearbox repair: which model is compatible with your vehicle?

All gearboxes have a part number stamped directly on them or on a label. However, access to this information is sometimes complicated. However, it is essential to know the exact part number of the product in case of a replacement. Indeed, the different models each have their own specificities, preventing them from being interchanged.

 

 

Here are a few examples of the types of transmissions in the Dodge family. They are provided as a guide, which means that other versions may exist. In addition, you should know that transmission systems can evolve. It is therefore common for the same model to have different types of transmission over the generations.

Let's take the case of the mythical WC, a military truck produced during the Second World War. The Gearbox Dodge WC 51 is a mechanical model with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse. It is identical to the Gearbox Dodge WC 52. Moreover, the Dodge WC gearbox remained a BVM5 until production was stopped.

The Dodge Journey gearbox depends on the trim level chosen. Specifically, the 2.0 CRD 140 hp engine can be paired with either a manual transmission or a DCT automated transmission. In both cases, the transmission is equipped with 6 speeds. The petrol versions also come with a BVM6 as standard. For the latest version released in 2020, the Journey has been given a 4-speed automatic gearbox to go with a 1.4L 172hp unit.

Perhaps you drive a crossover, which leads you to look for a Gearbox for Dodge Caliber. Pay attention to the engine! Dodge has chosen a 5-speed manual Dodge Caliber transmission for the 1.8L 150 hp and 2.0L 160 hp units as well as the 2.4L 170 hp block. A CVT is available as an option for the 2.0L 160-hp engine. The 2.0L CRD 140hp and 2.2L 163hp units are backed up by a 6-speed manual transmission. So be sure to check the engine specifications so you can replace GearboxDodge Caliber with a compatible part number.

Produced in a single generation, the Nitro also features a wide variety of transmission options. The Dodge Nitro transmission combined with the 2.8L CRD 163 hp engine is a 6-speed mechanical unit. For the 2.8L CRD AWD 163-hp version, the manufacturer offers a 5-speed automatic transmission. As standard, the 3.7L 213 hp unit is coupled with a BVM6. As an option, this engine can be paired with a Gearbox4-speed Dodge Nitro automatic. The 4.0L and 4.0L AWD 258 hp units come standard with a BVA5.

 

 

For the first edition, the Ram is offered with a standard 4- or 5-speed manual transmission. The optional Dodge Ram transmission for this generation is a 3 or 4-speed automatic. For the second generation, Dodge is increasing the number of references. The manual transmissions include the NV3500 and NV4500 BVM5 and the NV5600 BVM6, while the 4-speed automatic transmissions include the 42RH-RE, 46RH-RE and 47RH-RE. The Gearbox Dodge Ram 1500, the third generation of the American pickup, is also available in several variants. The 3.7L 215 hp V6 unit is combined with a BVA4. The 310 hp 4.7L Flex-Fuel V8 and 390 hp 5.7L HEMI V8 units are combined with a BVA5. The 6.7d AWD 350hp engine comes with a BVA6 as standard, but a BVA6 is also available as an option.

If you have any problems with your Dodge transmission, you should check the part number to find a replacement product in the event that a repair is not possible. Your garage will be able to tell you the part number. We can also help you to make a formal identification before you place your order.

 

Is it possible to solve a Dodge gearbox problem yourself?

If you do some research, you will certainly find tips and tricks on how to repair the defective part. However, the operation is extremely delicate, as the gearbox is a component that must be able to ensure excellent performance for your vehicle. Interventions on it require solid technical knowledge, a particularly acute sense of detail and specific professional tools. The only way to guarantee the quality of the repair is to have it done by a professional mechanic.

Just because you don't have to do the repair yourself doesn't mean you can't find out about possible solutions. It's best to understand what will be done in the workshop, which will help you to understand the costs and time involved in repairing your gearbox.

Here again, we offer some examples to help you understand the repairs that are needed.

 

 

Consider a third-generation Ram . Even with the clutch fully engaged, you encounter resistance when you manipulate the gearstick. You push a little and eventually the gears shift, but the cabin smells burnt and there's a creaking noise every time you shift. It is likely that the lubrication is at fault. If the transmission oil is too dirty, an oil change GearboxDodge Ram 1500 is urgently needed. If the level of contamination remains moderate, but the oil level has dropped, the mechanic will refill the oil, carefully selecting a compatible lubricant.

In the case of a Gearbox Dodge Journey problem, refilling theoil GearboxDodge Journey or changing the oil GearboxDodge Journey automatic may solve the problem. It could also be that parts are broken, rusted or loose, causing discontinuous or permanent noise. The repair will of course be tailored to the cause of the problem.

It is important to be careful about the lubricant used. Theoil GearboxDodge Ram 1500 may not be compatible with theDodge Ram gearbox oil from an earlier generation. Following the same logic, theoil GearboxDodge Caliber used for an oil change GearboxDodge Caliber is not necessarily suitable for an oil change GearboxDodge Nitro. This is because lubricants have different characteristics that allow them to be distinguished. Viscosity plays a particularly important role.

Whether you are experiencing a problem GearboxDodge Nitro or a problem with another Dodge model, you should ensure that the vehicle is taken to a qualified professional.
