  Q: How to Perform the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid Replacement on Chevrolet Classic?

  A: The automatic transmission fluid and filter replacement starts with vehicle elevation and support methods. A drain pan should be placed underneath the transaxle Oil Pan before front and side Oil Pan bolts and rear bolts get removed while the rear bolts receive half turns. After lightly prying the Oil Pan with a rubber mallet or blunt tool, check the fluid color before removing all bolts to detach the pan. The removal of other Oil Pan bolts must occur before removing the Oil Pan together with its attached gasket. A long screwdriver allows you to separate the oil filter neck from its seal for inspection of the filter seal condition. The slide hammer (J6125-1B) and axle boot remover (J23129) should be used when replacing the seal. A worker should apply j36850 petroleum jelly or a small portion of j36850 to a new seal before installation to be followed by inserting a fresh filter into the case. Harmful substances from metal debris can lead to damage in the transmission case. The installation of Oil Pan gasket requires a fresh gasket if the sealing ribs show any sign of damage. The technician should dry and inspect the Oil Pan for damage before installing it and torquing the Oil Pan bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.) tightness. The process ends by checking the level of dexron(R) iii fluid or its equivalent in the transaxle after lowering the vehicle then inspecting the pan for leaks.
