24 00 032 Removing and Installing Automatic Transmission (GA6L45R)
24 00 032 Removing and installing automatic transmission (GA6L45R)Special tools required:
Important!
After completion of work, check transmission oil level.
Use only the approved transmission fluid.
Failure to comply with this requirement will result in serious damage to the automatic transmission!
Important!
Aluminum-magnesium materials.
No steel screws/bolts may be used due to the threat of electrochemical corrosion.
A magnesium crankcase requires aluminum screws/bolts exclusively.
Aluminum screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are released.
Aluminum screws/bolts are permitted with and without color coding (blue).
For reliable identification:
Aluminum screws/bolts are not magnetic.
Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed without fail (risk of damage).
Necessary preliminary tasks:
^ Disconnect battery negative lead
^ Remove underbody protection with bracket at front and rear.
^ Remove complete exhaust system
^ Remove heat shields
^ Support engine with lifter when removing transmission
