Question

Accepted Answer

Divide the procedure of automatic transmission fluid and filter replacement for the 5l40-e/5l50-e by first elevating the vehicle. A suitable catch pan goes under the transmission Drain Plug as you remove the plug along with a discarding of the hardware to release fluid while checking the drain fluid for signs of color change and contamination. A properly torqued new transmission fluid Drain Plug should have its tightening torque set to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). The three fluid pan bolts need removal and the pan should be lightly tapped with a rubber mallet before its complete removal including the gasket . Check for any signs of wear or damage in both the magnet as well as the pan and its bolts and gasket. A long screwdriver must be used to pry out the fluid filter while a mechanic should use the universal seal remover (J 23129) with slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B) to remove the two fluid filter seals. Two new fluid filter seals must be installed onto the transmission fluid filter neck after applying transjel lubricant (J 36850) or petroleum jelly to their surfaces. The transmission fluid filter installation requires insertion into the case while checking for damage in the fluid pan gaskets. Install the fluid pan while using the gasket at the same time before tightening the fluid pan bolts to 11 n.m (97 lb in). After filling the transmission to the right level position the vehicle then lower it to check for leaks in the Oil Pan Gasket.
