The engine in your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your Town and Country and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your Town and Country is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your Town and Country, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill. If you are having problems with the transmission in your Town and Country, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

Where is the transmission dipstick located?The transmission fluid dipstick is normally located toward the back of the engine, closer to the cabin. Check your owner's manual if you're not sure what to look for. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. Then reinsert the dipstick and draw it out once more to get your level.
