• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt?

  A: Service and repair of the automatic transmission fluid filter requires users to raise their vehicle first and provide support under it. Proceed with caution while removing the front and side Oil Pan bolts made of 10mm bolt against the transaxle Oil Pan and place a drain pan underneath for fluid collection. Tap the rear Oil Pan with a rubber mallet or pry tool after lightly loosening the bolts four full turns. This action will help drain the fluid. The examination of fluid color should begin before you remove the remaining Oil Pan bolts and the Oil Pan together with its gasket. A long screwdriver helps loosen the oil filter neck from its seal before examining the oil filter seal for any damages or wear. For both tools j 6125-1b (Slide Hammer) and j 23129 (Axle Boot Remover) use to remove the seal. A procedure for seal installation includes applying j 36850 or petroleum jelly to the new seal which should be followed by placing the seal before fitting a new filter into the case. Place the Oil Pan Gasket before cleaning and drying the Oil Pan thoroughly while inspecting it for any damage. Use a new gasket only when the sealing ribs become damaged. Apply a j 36850 petroleum gel to a new Oil Pan Gasket before placing it on the pan. Next install the pan followed by torquing the bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Use dexron iii fluid or equivalent while lowering the vehicle and inspect the pan for leaks and test transmission fluid level correctly.
