• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and seal on 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt?

  A: A proper replacement of automatic transmission fluid filter and seal starts with safe vehicle elevation onto a supporting structure that includes hoist strap installation. A drain pan should be placed below the transaxle Oil Pan followed by carefully removing the Oil Pan bolts starting from the front sections and moving to the sides until rear bolts achieve a 4-turn looseness. Maintain the Oil Pan affordable with a rubber mallet to facilitate fluid drainage after which inspect the fluid appearance. After removing all Oil Pan bolts complete the removal process by taking away the Oil Pan alongside its gasket. A long screwdriver will be used to gently break the oil filter neck seal while checking the condition of the oil filter seal. New j 23129 and j 6125-1b tools are necessary to remove the seal when necessary. An operator should initially apply j 36850 or petroleum jelly to a new seal before positioning it for installation alongside a new filter into the case. The presence of broken ribs requires you to replace the gasket before you clean and dry the Oil Pan and assess its condition to decide on replacement. Sink the Oil Pan into position afterward tightening its bolts to 10 nm (89 lb in). After lowering the vehicle check the proper fluid level in the transaxle before inspecting the pan for leaks while rechecking the transmission fluid level.
