1. Check the Transmission Label:
* Locate the transmission: The transmission is typically a large, rectangular metal box near the engine.
* Look for a label: On the transmission case itself, there should be a label or tag. This label often provides information about the transmission type (e.g., "42RE").
2. Consult the Owner's Manual:
* Locate your owner's manual: The manual should have information about the type of transmission used in your vehicle.
3. Use a VIN Decoder:
* Find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): This is located on the driver's side dashboard, near the windshield.
* Use an online VIN decoder: Many websites allow you to enter your VIN and retrieve information about your vehicle, including the transmission type.
Once you know the transmission type, here are some common options:
* 42RE: Typically uses ATF+4 fluid (Chrysler's specification).
* 44RE: Also typically uses ATF+4 fluid.
Important Note:
* Do not mix transmission fluids: Using the wrong type of fluid can damage your transmission. Always refer to your owner's manual or consult a Jeep dealer for the correct specification for your vehicle.
Additional Tips:
* Check your fluid level: Before adding any fluid, ensure your transmission fluid level is within the correct range.
* Consider a transmission flush: If your transmission fluid is old or dirty, it's a good idea to have it flushed and replaced by a qualified mechanic.
Remember, the best source of information about your specific 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee is your owner's manual. Always consult it before performing any maintenance or repairs.
