I would not recommend the the Ryco trans pan as it only has 2 magnets and the ones you can get on EBay from Germany have 4 sets of magnets and they are the same price.

It’s is shifting a lot better is that because it’s new oil or because it’s Penrite, who knows.

I can say that I had the work done at Poly 4x4 in Huntingdale and I will be back for its service/coolant flush I was most impressed.

Do you have a link for the pan from Germany, I am unable to find it.

Here you go, this is the German one with the 4 magnets.

Sorry to bring up an oldish thread but got a couple of questions. My 2015 is out of warranty at the end of the year, done 43k km. Have had a random issue with the gearbox when pulling up to a stop, seems like the torque converter won't disengage and the car shakes. Basically like it is stuck in 1st or when you don't depress the clutch in manual when coming to a stop.

Replicating it is as usual is difficult and I have tried many times. So I was going to get a mechanic to do the last service before I can start doing it once out of warranty and thought maybe as a precaution might change the oil pan and oil while he is at it. For those that have done it is the german one Chocco posted the best to get? Price seems ok being it comes with oil too.

GCDingo. Have you taken it into a Jeep dealer and told them the problem.Under the trade practices act FCA will still have to honour any warranty problems on this box as still under warranty.Especially at such low
klms. There are numerous TSBs for year 2014-15 pertaining to the auto transmission.Ranging from poor changing, shuddering etc.Most are fixed by reflashing etc. I would not fit new pan etc untill you have seen the dealer.Any work to be done on the 8 speed will involve mega dollars.!!

That is a fair point bjm. Thank you. I will do that just to protect myself.
