Draining & Refilling: Transmission/Transaxle

Raise and support vehicle. Place drain pan under transmission. Loosen oil pan retaining bolts. Drain fluid from transmission. Remove oil pan bolts one at a time. This allows remaining fluid to drain slowly to prevent spillage. Remove oil pan.
Discard pan gasket. On AOD transmissions, remove and discard filter and filter gasket. On all other transmissions, remove and clean filter screen. On all models, reinstall or replace filter screen; use new "O" rings. On AOD transmission, replace filter gasket.
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 is removed for any reason. Cooler Line Disconnector (T82L-9500-AH) is necessary when disconnecting cooler lines.
