How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on Cadillac STS?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step for automatic transmission fluid and filter service and repair requires the vehicle must be raised while receiving adequate support. Place a proper drain receptacle below the transmission Drain Plug before removing the plug and discarding it while monitoring fluid drainage to check for both discoloration and signs of contamination. Place a new transmission fluid Drain Plug on the opening afterward and fasten it to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs. Of torque). The service steps begin by taking off the fluid pan bolts then you can carefully strike the fluid pan lightly with a rubber mallet to help it loosen. The mechanic removes the fluid pan alongside its gasket before cleaning all components including the magnet, pan, bolts and gasket for signs of degradation and wear. A long screwdriver should be used to extract the fluid filter out while the two fluid filter seals should be detached with the universal seal remover (J23129) and slide hammer adapter (J6125-1B). To install the fluid filter seals block two new seals onto the transmission filter neck then apply transjel lubricant (J36850) or petroleum jelly on them. Install the transmission fluid filter into the case through which you must install the fluid pan and gasket before tightening all fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). Before closing the transmission ensure the proper fluid levels have been attained. Lower the vehicle then check for any fluid leakage from the Oil Pan Gasket.
