Remove the *top* tranny pipe that goes into the radiator.Ĥ. Buy the qty of quarts your transmission system uses + 4 more. I've done this multiple times (all different kinds of cars) and it works perfectly.ġ. Here is how I do my transmission service. I put 4 and a half quarts in and then went through the gears to properly check the fluid level. Step eleven: Put everything back in, in reverse order. Step ten: Make sure to put the New O-rings that come with the kit in place on the new filter When the filter is off make sure the 2 O-rings are still attached to the open circles of the filter as so Step nine: When taking the filter off, make sure you still have the Drain pain in place under the Transmission because there is still some trapped fluid behind the filter. My old filter used a 10mm bolt while my new filter used a 8mm bolt so just look and see what yours may need. This is what it's going to look like under there Step eight: Unbolt the Transmission filter. Place the seal on the pan, make sure all the holes line up with the holes in the seal, go around and press down on the seal to make sure that the seal is in place properly. To keep the seal from moving around while you try to bolt the pan back up, spread a little bit of RTV around the pan. Now take the bottle of Brake clean and spray the inside of the pan clean Scrape any remaining pieces so that the surface is clean of the old seal. Step five: Drop the Pan and dump any remaining fluid in the drain pain. Now continue to loosen the rear bolts and the front 2 bolts until the majority of the fluid is out. You may have to get a screwdriver and pry between the pan and the transmission to release the seal for the fluid to really begin to come out. Then go ahead and loosen the front 2 bolts a couple less turns than the rear, this way the pan will start to tilt towards the rear so the fluid will come out on one side. To do this Loosen the 2 rear bolts a couple turns. Make sure you have your Drain pan in place. Step four: You want to drain the fluid from the rear of the pan. Leave 2 bolts on each end of the pan on for now. Step three: Start taking out the bolts along the sides of the pan. Step two: Remove the clips of the shield that is located on the passenger side in between the transmission pan and Catalytic converter and move it up and out of the way. Step one: Put your truck where you want to work on it and put it in park. I purchased all of this at my local auto parts store. You will also need to purchase the Filter kit which comes with the filter, necessary O-rings, bolt and fresh seal for the transmission pan. You will need 5 quarts of Transmission fluid preferably Valvoline Max life Dex/Merc Transmission fluid.
