  Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and seal on Chevrolet Malibu?

  A:

  The replacement process for automatic transmission fluid filter and seal requires a hoisted vehicle that you should position correctly before raising it to drain fluids into the pan. Unscrew the oil pan bolts from both front and sides of the pan while leaving the rear bolts at four turns of looseness. The process of oil drain begins by carefully prying the oil pan to protect the transaxle case and its sealing surfaces before using a rubber mallet to produce oil flow. Check the fluid color under the air then extract the pan bolts and pull out the oil pan in combination with the old gasket. First you should remove the oil level control valve alongside the Oil Filter and the Oil Filter o-ring seal but avoid damaging the transaxle case while separating the filter neck seal. A chisel should be used to indent the top of the filter neck seal in order to loosen the press fit before disposal of the component alongside cleaning efforts for all remaining old gasket matter. Solve and let dry the transaxle case and Oil Pan Gasket surfaces with solvent before finishing the drying process. The installation stages require petroleum jelly as a lubricant before inserting a new filter neck seal with a large socket or mallets and applying petroleum jelly to the new filter o-ring seal which leads to filter placement into the case while pressing down on the oil level control valve's center to prevent damage. After installing the oil level control valve workers should place the Oil Pan Gasket and oil pan onto the case before hand-tightening the oil pan bolts to 12 n.m (9 lb ft). The vehicle should be lowered while adding dexron(R) vi until it reaches the required capacity level of 6.5 l (6.9 qt) for bottom pan removal, 9 l (9.5 qt) for complete overhaul, and 12.2 l (12.9 qt) for dry capacity. After engine start-up begin to heat the transaxle before ascertaining fluid leakage while ensuring correct fluid amount.

  A:

  Before servicing and repairing the automatic transmission fluid filter and seal for 4t45-e automatic transaxle it is essential to properly support and position the vehicle on a hoist. Location a drain pan underneath the transaxle Oil Pan followed by bolt removal from the front and sides while only giving the rear bolts four-turns of loosening. A gentle tool application against the Oil Pan should be followed by using a soft mallet to induce drainage. You should check fluid color through the air before eliminating the Oil Pan bolts and removing the Oil Pan with its gasket. Proceed by taking away successively the oil level control valve followed by the Oil Filter together with the Oil Filter o-ring seal. Be cautious when removing the filter neck seal to prevent any damage to the transaxle case. Employ a chisel to indent the top of the filter neck seal to reduce the press fit before discarding it along with cleaning all former gasket remnants. Apply solvent to clean the transaxle case alongside Oil Pan gasket surfaces before they can dry naturally through air exposure. When installing new components begin by using petroleum jelly as a lubricant while inserting a new filter neck seal with a large socket or mallets and applying petroleum jelly to the new filter o-ring seal before placing the filter into the case. Begin by installing the oil level control valve followed by placing the new Oil Pan gasket and Oil Pan in position. Start all bolts by hand before torquing them to 12 n.m (9 lb ft). Deliver the vehicle to a lower position when you need to add dexron(R)iii p/n 21019223 or equivalent oil to reach the specified refill capacity of 6.5 l (6.9 qt) for bottom pan removal or 9 l (9.5 qt) for complete overhaul or 12.2 l (12.9 qt) for dry capacity. Begin the engine operation to warm the transaxle and inspect for fluid leaks while verifying that the fluid maintains the correct level.
