2008 Chevrolet HHR Automatic Transmission Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What tools are required to service and repair the Automatic Transmission Filter and seal on 2008 Chevrolet HHR?

  A: Service and repair of automatic transmission fluid filter and seal requires two essential tools which include slide hammer (J 6125-1B) and axle boot remover (J 23129). The first step requires lifting the vehicle and placing a drain pan under the transaxle Oil Pan position. First remove the Oil Pan bolts located at the front and sides while leaving the rear bolts with four turns of looseness. Use a rubber mallet or pry to cause drainage of fluid from the Oil Pan while examining the fluid appearance. The mechanic should remove the remaining Oil Pan bolts and the Oil Pan after which point the Oil Pan Gasket should be removed. A long screwdriver should be used to free the oil filter neck at the seal. Then examine the oil filter seal for possible damage. The slide hammer tool j 6125-1b along with the axle boot remover j 23129 must be used if seal removal becomes necessary. Apply petroleum jelly or lubricant j 36850 to a new oil seal before positioning it and then insert a new filter into the case. You should install the Oil Pan Gasket only with brand new gaskets when the sealing ribs demonstrate damage. Clean the Oil Pan before inspecting for damage and install the pan while tightening its bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Complete the task by lowering the vehicle and adding fluid until the transaxle reaches proper level while conducting leakage assessments on the pan.
