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.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Remove the transmission fluid fill plug transmission fluid level indicator assembly located on the passenger side front portion of the transmission case. Removal of the transmission fluid fill plug will relieve any vacuum that might have built up in the transmission.

4. Remove the transmission 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 transmission fluid filter seal is in the case, carefully remove the transmission fluid filter seal without scratching the case.





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





3. Install a new transmission fluid filter.





4. Position the magnet in the transmission fluid pan.





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

Install a new transmission fluid pan gasket if required.
