Required tools and materials:
* Socket wrenches or sockets for 10, 12, 14 mm
* Screwdriver or screwdriver
* New automatic transmission pan gasket
*Transmission Fluid ATF (type required for your vehicle)
* Funnel or syringe for pouring liquid
* Rags or paper towels
* Gloves
Instructions:
1. Preparation
* Place the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
* Open the hood and pull out the dipstick to measure the fluid level in the automatic transmission.
* Warm up the engine slightly until a thin film of fluid covers the dipstick.
* Turn off the engine and let it cool.
2. Removing the automatic transmission pan
* Crawl under the car and find the automatic transmission pan, it is usually screwed to the transmission housing.
* Clean the area around the pan of dirt and debris.
* Unscrew the bolts or nuts securing the pan using a 10 mm socket wrench or socket.
* Carefully remove the pan from the transmission housing, being careful not to spill any remaining fluid.
3. Replacing the gasket
* Clean the surface of the transmission housing flange and pan of the old gasket.
* Install a new gasket on the transmission housing flange. Make sure it is aligned correctly.
4. Installing the automatic transmission pan
* Apply a thin layer of sealant to the surface of the pan that is in contact with the gasket.
* Lift the tray and place it in place.
* Tighten the bolts or nuts holding the pan by hand or with a torque wrench to the recommended torque (usually about 12 Nm).
5. Refilling transmission fluid
*Insert a funnel or syringe into the dipstick hole.
* Pour transmission fluid into the automatic transmission until the level reaches the “full” mark on the dipstick.
* Reinstall the dipstick.
6. Checking the fluid level
* Warm up the engine again and turn it off.
* Pull out the dipstick and check the fluid level. If necessary, add more liquid.
7. Completion
* Close the hood and reset the service counter, if equipped.
* Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to allow the transmission fluid to mix and warm up.
* Check under the vehicle for any fluid leaks.
Notes:
* Bolt tightening torque may vary depending on vehicle model.
*Always use the transmission fluid recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
* If you doubt your technical capabilities, contact a car service for help.
