  Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on Cadillac XLR?

  A: Your first step when servicing or repairing automatic transmission fluid and filter should be to raise and support the vehicle properly. You must set up a suitable drain pan under the transmission fluid Drain Plug before removing it to drain all fluid while you discard the plug. Perform a contamination and discoloration inspection of the transmission fluid as part of this coverage. A new Drain Plug needs installation after draining and it must tighten to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). After dissolving the fluid pan bolts proceed by using a rubber mallet to gently tap the fluid pan for loosening. After gasket removal from the fluid pan users need to inspect all components for damage while cleaning both the magnet and pan along with bolts and gasket . Insert a long screwdriver to extract the fluid filter as you take off both fluid filter seals using the universal seal remover (J 23129) together with the slide hammer adapter (J 6125-1B). Attach two new fluid filter seals onto the transmission fluid filter neck with a small amount of transjel lubricant (J 36850) or petroleum jelly on them before installation. Fitting the transmission fluid filter into the case requires reusing the fluid pan gaskets only if they remain undamaged. Install the fluid pan and gasket jointly and fasten the fluid pan bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). Check the transmission fluid level to the recommended amount then lower the car and search for Oil Pan Gasket leaks.
