How do you drain the transmission fluid on a Dodge Dakota?
Dodge Dakotas have several different engine and transmission configurations. Pull the truck onto vehicle ramps or jack the truck up high enough that you can get under it to drop the transmission fluid drain pan. Place jack stands under the truck pursuant to the instructions so that the truck cannot fall while the work is being done.
How do you replace a transmission fluid pan gasket?
Carefully place a new gasket on the cleaned fluid pan and place a bolt through to hold it in place. Replace the transmission fluid pan and screw all bolts in halfway, being careful not to damage the gasket. Screw bolts in the rest of the way, going in a back and forth pattern to ensure the pan is bolted down evenly.

Place a plastic bucket or catch pan on the ground under the transmission fluid pan. Remove all bolts except four, one on each side of the transmission pan. Loosen these four bolts about halfway. The transmission fluid will begin spilling into the pan. Drain as much fluid as possible. Remove two of the four remaining bolts.

The Dodge Dakota is popular among pickup buyers who want more power and space than a compact provides but less than a full-size pickup offers. It makes a good choice for someone who wants to tow a light load such as a bass boat or an ATV.
