  Q: How to Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Chevrolet Tracker?

  A:

  A proper start for automatic transmission fluid and filter replacement requires the owner to remove the fluid level indicator before properly supporting the vehicle for the following steps. Begin by removing both the front propeller shaft before you unscrew the 4 pins and 4 bolts which hold the front differential pinion flange on four-wheel drive models. Finally separate the pinion flange yoke from the front differential pinion flange. Beginning with drain pan placement you should support the Transfer Case to shift the front differential propeller shaft and then unscrew the transmission Drain Plug to let fluid pan draining start. First remove the 14 bolts which secure the transmission fluid pan. Then remove the pan together with its gasket. Disconnect the solenoid harness before eliminating the 6 bolts and extracting three key components which include fluid filter screen and its gasket and filter spacers and gasket from the Valve Body. The transmission fluid pan contains acceptable clutch material buildup yet excessive clutch material along with metal shavings do require transmission disassembly for further examination. The technician dries the fluid filter screen, transmission fluid pan and fluid pan magnets after cleaning them with solvent. A new fluid filter screen replacement occurs when damage is detected. The new fluid filter screen gasket and fluid filter screen should be placed onto the Valve Body while using the provided 6 bolts that require 5 nm (44 inch lbs.) torque. Instal new transmission fluid pan gasket followed by the transmission fluid pan securing it with fourteen bolts tightened at 5 nm (44 inch lbs.). The transmission Drain Plug needs installation after tightening to 17 nm (13 ft. Lbs.) followed by propeller shaft reinstallation and vehicle lowering. Dexron-iii automatic transmission fluid gm p/n 12346143 (Canadian P/N 10952622) should be added through the fluid filler tube until the level reaches 2.5 liters (2.6 quarts) when the vehicle is positioned on level ground. After installing the fluid level indicator the parking brake needs to be engaged while blocking vehicle wheels. First start the engine while keeping the selector lever in park mode then maintain idle speed and operate the selector through all ranges before putting it back to park. Check the fluid level while running the engine by using the fluid level indicator as it should fall between the full hot and low hot marks. In case the fluid level falls below the low hot mark, users must add fluid to attain the full hot position using 0.3 liters (0.3 quarts) of gm p/n 12346143 dexron-iii automatic transmission fluid (Canadian P/N 10952622). The last step includes a road test along with checking the transmission level.
