- Stage 1: Tighten to 5 Nm (44 lb-in).
- Stage 2: Tighten to 11 Nm (97 lb-in).





7. Install new O-ring seals on the transmission control solenoid body connector. Lubricate the O-ring seals with automatic transmission fluid.





8. NOTICE: Inspect the transmission case bore to make sure it is free of foreign material and not damaged. If damaged, a transmission leak may occur.

Install the transmission control solenoid body. Tighten the screws in the sequence shown.

- Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).





9. NOTICE: Lubricate the transmission fluid pan filter seals with automatic transmission fluid or they may be damaged.

NOTE: Make sure that the transmission fluid pan filter seals are correctly seated on the filter.

Lubricate the transmission fluid pan filter seals and install the transmission fluid filter.

- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).





10. NOTE: The transmission fluid pan gasket is reusable, clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the transmission fluid pan gasket should be reused.

Install the transmission fluid pan gasket on the transmission fluid pan.





11. Install the transmission fluid pan and tighten the screws in a crisscross sequence.
- Tighten to 11 Nm (97 lb-in).





12. Install the transmission fluid pan drain plug.
- Install a new transmission fluid pan drain plug gasket onto the transmission fluid pan drain plug.
- Tighten to 26 Nm (19 lb-ft).





13. Install the HO2S connector to the front of the transmission fluid pan rail.





14. Connect the HO2S connector and install the sensor wire retaining clip to the RH side of the transmission fluid pan rail.





15. NOTICE: Damage will occur to the transmission vehicle harness connector if the screw is tightened above specification.

NOTE: Always install new O-ring seals on the transmission vehicle harness connector.

NOTE: Clean the area around the connector to prevent contamination of the solenoid body connector.

NOTE: Use petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring seals to aid in the installation process.

Install and lubricate new O-ring seals on the transmission vehicle harness connector and connect the connector.
- Tighten to 5 Nm (44 lb-in).





16. Hold the transmission fluid pan drain plug with a wrench and remove the transmission fluid pan drain plug (short hex).





17. Install the Transmission Fluid Fill Tool into the pan.





18. NOTE: Prior to filling the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector with transmission fluid, make sure that the canister is clean.

Fill the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector with automatic transmission fluid.





19. Hang the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector under the vehicle. Position it upright and close to the transmission.





20. Connect the Transmission Fluid Fill Tool and the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector.
- Connect the open end of the fluid hose from the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector to the Transmission Fluid Fill Tool at the bottom of the transmission fluid pan.





21. Apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa (30 psi) to the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose from the Rubber Tip Air Nozzle. Transmission fluid will immediately start flowing out of the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector into the transmission fluid pan.





22. Add 2.84L (3 qt) of transmission fluid into the transmission fluid pan. Stop the process by releasing the air pressure and removing the Rubber Tip Air Nozzle from the end of the hose.

23. Fill the transmission to the correct level. For additional information, refer to Transmission Fluid Level Check Transmission Fluid Level Check.
