The first step for automatic transmission fluid and filter service and repair requires the vehicle must be raised while receiving adequate support. Place a proper drain receptacle below the transmission Drain Plug before removing the plug and discarding it while monitoring fluid drainage to check for both discoloration and signs of contamination. Place a new transmission fluid Drain Plug on the opening afterward and fasten it to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs. Of torque). The service steps begin by taking off the fluid pan bolts then you can carefully strike the fluid pan lightly with a rubber mallet to help it loosen. The mechanic removes the fluid pan alongside its gasket before cleaning all components including the magnet, pan, bolts and gasket for signs of degradation and wear. A long screwdriver should be used to extract the fluid filter out while the two fluid filter seals should be detached with the universal seal remover (J23129) and slide hammer adapter (J6125-1B). To install the fluid filter seals block two new seals onto the transmission filter neck then apply transjel lubricant (J36850) or petroleum jelly on them. Install the transmission fluid filter into the case through which you must install the fluid pan and gasket before tightening all fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). Before closing the transmission ensure the proper fluid levels have been attained. Lower the vehicle then check for any fluid leakage from the Oil Pan Gasket.

A suitable drain pan needs placement underneath the transmission fluid Drain Plug before you can begin replacing the automatic transmission fluid and filter. Vehicle elevation and support must occur first. The transmission fluid Drain Plug must be removed to allow fluid drainage during which you should inspect the draining fluid for discoloration signals and signs of contamination. Fitting a new transmission Drain Plug requires torque to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) after the fluid draining process. Use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the fluid pan and proceed by removing its bolts. Start by removing the fluid pan together with its gasket before cleaning and inspecting the magnet alongside the pan bolts and gasket for any signs of damage or wear. The fluid filter should be extracted by using a long screwdriver while the 2 fluid filter seals need universal seal removel (J 23129) with slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B) to disconnect them. Use new fluid filter seals to secure the transmission fluid filter neck besides coating them with 1 centimeter of transjel lubricant (J 36850) or petroleum jelly. The transmission fluid filter installation into the case needs the fluid pan to remain with the gasket before you tighten the fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). The technician should fill the transmission properly before lowering the vehicle to check for any gasket leakage around the oil pan.

Your first step when servicing or repairing automatic transmission fluid and filter should be to raise and support the vehicle properly. You must set up a suitable drain pan under the transmission fluid Drain Plug before removing it to drain all fluid while you discard the plug. Perform a contamination and discoloration inspection of the transmission fluid as part of this coverage. A new Drain Plug needs installation after draining and it must tighten to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). After dissolving the fluid pan bolts proceed by using a rubber mallet to gently tap the fluid pan for loosening. After gasket removal from the fluid pan users need to inspect all components for damage while cleaning both the magnet and pan along with bolts and gasket . Insert a long screwdriver to extract the fluid filter as you take off both fluid filter seals using the universal seal remover (J 23129) together with the slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B). Attach two new fluid filter seals onto the transmission fluid filter neck with a small amount of transjel lubricant (J 36850) or petroleum jelly on them before installation. Fitting the transmission fluid filter into the case requires reusing the fluid pan gaskets only if they remain undamaged. Install the fluid pan and gasket jointly and fasten the fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). Check the transmission fluid level to the recommended amount then lower the car and search for Oil Pan Gasket leaks.

Place a suitable drain pan under the transmission fluid drain plug.

Remove and discard the drain plug, allowing the fluid to drain while inspecting it for discoloration and contamination.
