• Q: How to replace the transmission pan on 2002 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: The first step to change an Oil Pan requires raising and supporting the vehicle. First drain the transmission fluid into a suitable container using a container while unscrewing the Oil Pan bolts. You need to detach the Oil Pan attaching bolts before taking off the Oil Pan and its gasket. Before putting the pan in place check for damage and dryness and also inspect all surfaces for any dents. Place a new Oil Pan gasket when the sealing ribs show damage before placing the Oil Pan along with new bottom pan replacement if the bottom pan is also damaged. Install the Oil Pan attaching bolts before tightening them to a torque of 14 nm (124 inch lbs.). The vehicle should be lowered while technicians must fill the transmission with dexron iii fluid until it reaches the specified capacity according to the fluid checking procedure. Double-check the fluid amount while searching for Oil Pan gasket leakage.
