Draining & Refilling
- To drain torque converter on AOD transmission, remove lower engine dust cover. Rotate torque converter (in direction of engine rotation) until drain plug is accessible. Remove plug and allow fluid to drain completely.
- On all models, loosen oil pan attaching bolts to drain fluid. Remove oil pan and discard pan gasket. On all except AOD transmissions, remove and clean filter screen. Reinstall filter screen using a new gasket. On AOD transmissions, discard used filter and gasket. Install new filter and gasket.
- On AXOD transmission, ensure both "O" rings are changed if replacing filter. On all models, clean oil pan and install with new pan gasket. Pour 3 qts. (2.8L) of fluid through filler tube. Start engine and engage all gears. Check fluid level and add required amount.
NOTE:
Transmission oil cooler and lines should be thoroughly flushed if transmission was removed for any reason. Cooler Line Disconnector (T82L-9500-AH) is necessary when disconnecting cooler lines.
