I just remembered you're gonna need a jug or 2 of premix coolant too unless you can find any blue import concentrated stuff. The 2 hoses that go the the front of the cvt are coolant lines that feed the cvt cooler.
Car-part.com would be better if they actually had an interchange for the Mirage parts. This is one of few vechicles I know of that they don't have in the system properly. I really don't know why they don't. I remember trying to inventory a Lada Niva, and had the same problem but they were far less common than the Mirage.
-One big pain was disconnecting the round electrical plug next to the dipstick tube. One trick is to tap the side of the plug with a screwdriver handle and hit it with a blow gun to get all the sand and crap out of all the crannies. There's a tab you gotta push in and rotate (counter clockwise?) and lift up at the same time irrc. First one I did took some thinking but the other 2 were way quicker.
-It's easier to just unbolt the shifter bracket from the cvt rather than attempt to figure out how to unclip the cable from the bracket itself.
-DON'T strip out the torque converter bolts. Make sure you have the proper 6 point socket on them don't try an open end wrench. I used a socket and tool from a serpentine belt tool from this kit https://www.amazon.ca/GearWrench-368...26649019&psc=1
-All the bolts are 10,12,14,17,19,21mm and I forget what the axle nut size it. There's a post on here about it I'm sure.

Looks like Spot has too much transmission fluid. Tried using the steel dip stick and miss read it. Then used the zip tie method from the Promaster forum. (Dodge feels you don't need a transmission dip stick)Anyway, is overfilled a threat to the transmission?

Also included pictures of the zip tie dip stick. Works great. The bend is the length of the factory stick. Some people put a small zip tie at the stop point.
You're checking it running when nice and hot(driving hard for 30 mins or more)?
