2000 Chevrolet Malibu Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the transmission pan on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Vehicle elevation and support must happen before servicing and repairing the fluid pan. First remove the transmission fluid into a suitable container using a draining method on the Oil Pan bolts until the pain becomes empty. You must first remove the Oil Pan bolts to access and eventually extract the combination of the Oil Pan Gasket with the Oil Pan. Inspection of the Oil Pan must show a dent-free condition without damage before performing the installation when the pan shows dryness. A new Oil Pan Gasket needs installation when the sealing ribs show damage before you reinstall the Oil Pan along with any replacement of the lower pan if there is damage. Use enough torque to tighten all Oil Pan attaching bolts at 14 nm (124 inch lbs.). Verify the pan for fluid leaks during the inspection before adding more transmission fluid to the proper level with dexron(r)-iii. Check the fluid level again while looking for any leakage from the Oil Pan Gasket.
