• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on 2004 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The service process requires j 36850 transmission assembling lubricant (Transjel) together with other necessary tools. Raising the vehicle while placing a drain pan under the transmission comes first before beginning the service. The service technician must carefully clean the space surrounding the transmission check/fill plug until it can drain fluid before removal. After supporting the transmission Oil Pan users should remove all Oil Pan bolts while reinstalling the fluid check/fill plug loosely. You should lightly strike the Oil Pan with a rubber mallet or gently pry it to loosen the attachment before you remove the Oil Pan while draining residual fluid. Prevent any fluid spillage by firmly holding the filter after noting its initial position and using a downward twisting movement to extract it. Use pliers to eliminate the transmission filter seal before disposal. Carefully examine the transmission fluid and filter under inspection for damaged signs which may comprise clutch material alongside bronze slivers and steel particles. Wipe the transmission case and Oil Pan Gasket surfaces completely free of old gasket material by using solvent then wait for them to dry from the air. A small drop of j 36850 or equivalent should be applied to the new filter seal before it is inserted into the transmission case using the proper socket size. Position the new Oil Filter according to removal instructions while inspecting the Oil Pan bolts together with washers for correct positioning of the conical washers. Keep the original washers if they are not in need of replacing but obtain new ones if reversal is necessary. Set the Oil Pan Gasket onto the Oil Pan face before connecting the Oil Pan to the transmission case while setting it on supports. Begin securing the Oil Pan bolts by alternating between them until they achieve proper torque of 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). The transmission requires dexron®iii automatic transmission fluid which must be poured into the check/fill plug until it emerges from the aperture before you tighten the hand-tight. You should complete the filling process to reach the correct level while tightening the check/fill plug to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Finally, inspect the Oil Pan Gasket for any signs of leakage.
