Draining & Refilling
- With vehicle raised and large drain pan placed under transmission oil pan, remove front and side transmission oil pan bolts only. Loosen rear pan bolts about 4 turns each.
- Carefully pry pan loose with screwdriver, allowing fluid to drain. Remove remaining bolts and remove oil pan. Discard old pan gasket. Remove filter and "O" ring or sleeve type seal. Remove any remaining gasket material left on transmission case.
- Thoroughly clean pan, magnet and screen with solvent and dry with compressed air. Paper type filters should be replaced. Install new "O" ring on pick-up tube or new sleeve into pick-up tube recess. Lubricate with clean oil before installation.
- Install filter assembly into pick-up tube recess. Install oil pan using new gasket and tighten pan bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS (OIL PAN BOLTS) . Add required amount of fluid to transmission through filler tube.
- Start engine with gear selector lever in the "P" position and parking brake applied. Engage transmission in each gear ending in the "P" position. Check fluid level with vehicle warm and add fluid if necessary. DO NOT overfill.
