  Q: How to service and repair the Transmission Pan of an automatic transmission on Chevrolet Impala?

  A:

  Service and repair operations on the fluid pan start with vehicle elevation and support alongside the placement of a drain pan underneath the automatic transmission Oil Pan. Disconnect the Oil Pan bolts but handle the joint surfaces between pan and case with care so oil leakage does not occur. A rubber mallet or screwdriver helps loosen the Oil Pan before users can extract both the Oil Pan and gasket. After the foreign materials check in both the Oil Pan and the filter screen users need to inspect the condition of the Oil Pan flange for distortion and need to replace it when bent beyond recovery. Replace the whole bolt-washer assembly when inverted washers are present. Thoroughly dry the Oil Pan and case flanges while eliminating any oil residue. After cleaning surfacese of the case and Oil Pan Gasket with solvent let them air dry completely. Remove all remnants of old gasket material before continuing. The new Oil Pan Gasket should be installed to the automatic transmission along with the Oil Pan, while securing the Oil Pan bolts to 14 nm (10 ft. Lbs.). Fill up the automatic transmission system with its recommended fluid while the vehicle stays lowered down but avoid exceeding the recommended level to stop foam production that could result in damage. Start by shifting the gear selector to park before ignition and engine operation at medium speed while watching for fluid leakage then remove the drain pan beneath the automobile.
