We also highlight the correct torque specifications for the transmission pan mounting bolts and the drain and fill plugs.

This 8-speed transmission was manufactured by ZF and was used in other models. The ZF 8-speed transmission was also used in SELECT Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Depending on the exact model you're doing this service on, visual differences will exist around the transmission pan and other areas due to the different chassis. However, many of the general steps and procedures for changing the transmission fluid, filter, fluid filling, and leveling process or sequence will still apply to these other models with 8-speed transmissions.
