Removal

CAUTION: The use of any other transmission fluid than specified, can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.

2. Remove the fluid fill plug fluid level indicator assembly located on the passenger side front portion of the transmission case. Removal of the plug will relieve any vacuum that might have built up in the transmission. This will aid in allowing the fluid pan to be easily removed when the bolts are removed.





3. Remove the transmission fluid pan and allow the fluid to drain.





4. Remove the fluid pan gasket.





5. Remove and discard the transmission fluid filter.





6. Clean and inspect the transmission fluid pan and magnet.

1. Inspect the transmission case for the transmission fluid filter seal. If the seal is in the case, carefully remove the seal without scratching the case.





2. Make sure that the seal is on the transmission fluid filter and lubricate the seal with clean automatic transmission fluid.

3. NOTE: The fluid filter may be reused if no excessive contamination is indicated.





Install a new transmission fluid filter.





4. Position the magnet in the transmission fluid pan.

5. NOTE: The fluid pan gasket can be reused if not damaged.





Install a new transmission fluid pan gasket if required.
