2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Transmission Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the transmission pan on 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt?

  A: Raising and supporting the vehicle constitutes the first step when changing the Oil Pan. A suitable container should be used to drain transmission fluid while you unscrew the Oil Pan bolts and let the oil flow out. First remove all Oil Pan attaching bolts before taking out both the Oil Pan with its gasket. An inspection of the Oil Pan should be performed for damage before dry installation of the component. Before reinstallation of the Oil Pan the technician should replace the Oil Pan Gasket because the sealing ribs are damaged. Then they should put in the new Oil Pan but must replace the entire bottom pan if it shows damage. Insert the Oil Pan attaching bolts before tightening them to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Lower the vehicle while checking for leaks in the pan then refill the transmission with dexron-iii to its proper level. Proceed to check the fluid level and verify gasket leak points on the Oil Pan.
