Materials:
* New automatic transmission filter
* Automatic transmission pan gasket
* Automatic transmission fluid
* Funnel
* Wrench set
* Oil drain pan
Safety:
* Make sure the vehicle is in park and the parking brake is applied.
* Allow the engine to cool before starting work.
* Wear gloves and safety glasses.
Instructions:
1. Prepare your work area: Gather the necessary tools and materials. Place the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake and turn off the engine.
2. Locate and remove the automatic transmission pan: Locate the automatic transmission pan under the car. It is usually secured with bolts. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the bolts, then carefully lift the pan out of place.
3. Drain the automatic transmission fluid: Allow the fluid to completely drain into the oil drain pan. This may take a few minutes.
4. Remove the old automatic transmission filter: Inside the pan you will find the automatic transmission filter. It is usually held in place with bolts or clamps. Unscrew the bolts or loosen the clamps and remove the old filter.
5. Install the new automatic transmission filter: Carefully insert the new filter into the pan, making sure it is facing in the correct direction. Tighten the bolts or tighten the clamps to secure the filter.
6. Install the transmission pan gasket: Apply a thin layer of sealant to the new pan gasket and place it in place.
7. Install the transmission pan: Lift the transmission pan and align it with the bolt holes. Install the bolts and tighten them with a wrench to the torque specified in the repair manual.
8. Fill the automatic transmission fluid: Locate the automatic transmission fluid fill hole at the top of the transmission. Insert a funnel into the hole and fill in the required amount of liquid as indicated in the repair manual.
9. Start the engine: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Shift the shift lever through all gears to bleed the fluid.
10. Check the fluid level: Check the automatic transmission fluid level using the dipstick. Make sure the level is between the “Min” and “Max” marks. If necessary, add more liquid.
Adviсe:
* Use only automatic transmission filters and automatic transmission fluids recommended by the manufacturer.
* Do not overtighten the bolts, otherwise component damage may occur.
*Remove the fluid fill cap to check the fluid level only after the engine has been started and run for a short time.
*If you are unsure of your abilities, seek help from an experienced mechanic.
