• Q: How to Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Proceeding with automatic transmission fluid and filter replacement requires slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B), universal seal remover (J 23129), and transjel lubricant (J 36850) as tools. You need to support the vehicle while lifting it until you position a suitable drain pan below the transmission fluid Drain Plug. The Drain Plug goes first with its removal and subsequent discoloration check of the drained fluid. Install a Drain Plug onto the opening and torque it to 20 nm (15 ft.lbs.) using an appropriate tool. Use a rubber mallet to tap lightly on the fluid pan when needed before removing the three pan bolts. Before cleaning proceed with inspecting the magnet as well as transmission pan bolts and gasket for degradation and wear while cleaning both the pan and gasket . The fluid filter extraction requires a long screwdriver while you need universal seal remover (J 23129) with slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B) to remove the two fluid filter seals. The two new fluid filter seals should be placed onto the filter neck after applying a small amount of transjel lubricant (J 36850) or petroleum jelly for improved installation. Place the transmission fluid filter inside the case. At the same time, you can install the fluid pan along with its gasket if the gasket is still usable. Use a torque wrench to fasten the fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.) and then fill the transmission to the right level and lower the vehicle for inspection of Oil Pan Gasket leaks.
