How to Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on GMC Canyon?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step to perform automatic transmission fluid replacement involves raising the vehicle and establishing support underneath it. A flat-bladed tool should be used to disconnect the range selector cable from the transmission range selector lever ball stud at its ending point on the lever. Once the end is pried away, remove bolts securing the transmission range selector cable bracket to the transmission. Move the bracket to increase clearance before dropping the pan while placing the suitable receptacle under the transmission Oil Pan. Start by removing all front and side Oil Pan bolts followed by a loose rotation of the rear bolts by 4 turns before gently striking the Oil Pan with a rubber mallet to allow fluid to drain into the collecting container. Remove all present Oil Pan bolts before removing the Oil Pan along with its gasket. Check if the filter needs pliers to be removed before discarding it with the rest of the materials. Your examination should include looking at the fluid's color while you evaluate the filter for both bushing wear and clutch material as well as steel particles. Use solvent to clean transmission case as well as Oil Pan Gasket surfaces until you remove all remaining old gasket material. Allow these surfaces to air dry naturally before proceeding. Using clean automatic transmission fluid to coat the new filter seal leads to its successful installation into the transmission case by tapping it with an appropriate socket. Place the new filter first; after that put the new Oil Pan using its gasket and apply equal and alternating torque pressure of 16 n.m (12 lb ft) on all transmission case bolts. Insert the container used to catch used transmission fluid elsewhere and reinstall the transmission range selector cable bracket before securing its bolts at 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Adjust the automatic transmission range selector cable before lowering the vehicle to properly fill it with dexron(R) iii transmission fluid at the cold fluid mark during first filling. Check for any leaks near the Oil Pan Gasket during the final step.
