  Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on Buick Park Avenue?

  A: Service and repair of automatic transmission fluid and filter require first lifting the vehicle from the ground and supporting it before placing a drain pan under the transaxle Oil Pan. Initial bolt removal should focus on the front and sides of the Oil Pan but the rear bolts need turning only partly. Strike the Oil Pan gently using a rubber mallet or utilize a prying motion to extract fluid while checking the fluid color. After removing all remaining Oil Pan bolts you should detach the Oil Pan along with its gasket. Until draining the Oil Filter use a long screwdriver to pry it out the seal of the Oil Filter under inspection for damage or wear. The operator can remove the seal by using the j 6125-1b (Slide Hammer) along with the j 23129 (Universal Seal Remover). To install a new seal for the case you should first apply a small amount of j 36850 (Transmission Assembly Lubricant) or petroleum jelly. Then fit a new filter into the case. The Oil Pan gaskets can be reused in all situations unless the sealing surface has sustained damage. Install the Oil Pan together with its gasket at the same time and tighten all Oil Pan bolts to 14 nm (125 inch lbs.). Lower the car while checking transmission fluid levels correctly and inspecting for leaks in both the transmission fluid pan gasket.
