Automatic transmission pan gasket for Infiniti FX35

Tools required to replace the automatic transmission pan gasket:
* Open end wrench or socket
* Flat head screwdriver
* New automatic transmission pan (if required)
* New automatic transmission pan gasket
Step-by-step instructions for replacing the automatic transmission pan gasket:
1. Raise the vehicle: Raise the front of the vehicle using a jack and support it securely on jack stands.
2. Drain the transmission fluid: Unscrew the drain plug of the automatic transmission pan and drain the fluid into a clean container.
3. Remove the automatic transmission pan: Using an open-end wrench or socket, unscrew the bolts securing the automatic transmission pan to the transmission housing. Carefully remove the pan, being careful not to damage the gasket.
4. Clean the surfaces: Clean the surface of the automatic transmission pan and gearbox housing from the old gasket and any contaminants.
5. Install a new gasket: Apply a small amount of transmission fluid to the new gasket and install it on the transmission housing.
6. Install the transmission pan: Place the transmission pan in place and tighten the bolts according to the torque pattern specified in the repair manual.
7. Fill with transmission fluid: Pour new transmission fluid into the automatic transmission through the filler tube. The fluid level should be checked using the dipstick specified in the repair manual.
8. Check for leaks: Start the engine and warm up the car. Check the automatic transmission pan for leaks. If leaks are found, tighten the bolts or replace the gasket.
