After you've done that, just go back to the dipstick, pull it out, and wipe it down. I'll start it up, put it in reverse, and first a couple times to start that transmission fluid. Then take your transmission fluid and just replace the fluid. Now use a funnel, and you want to make sure that the inside of the funnel is clean. If it's not, you just add a little more fluid and get it to the right level. You want to make sure that the transmission is hot before you check it, and make sure it's here. Then drive your vehicle quite a bit, get the transmission nice and warm, and then check and make sure that the transmission fluid's in here. Then start your vehicle, put it in reverse, and first or drive a couple times, get the transmission fluid circulating, and then at that point, check and fill until you're at the cold line. Actually, you can see down here, it says "cold." What you'll want to do is, when your engine's not running, fill your transmission fluid probably up to about the bottom of here. What you want is when the vehicle's hot, you want your level anywhere from the middle to the upper part of that. Right here is the full hot line, okay, and there's a little range here. Okay, when you go to refill your transmission, it's kind of a three-step process. We'll fast-forward as Mike tightens those up. We'll just fast-forward as Mike does the rest of these. Now you want to torque each of these 13mm bolts in a crossing pattern to about 15 foot-pounds. Like I said, I start all the bolts in first, and then tighten them up preliminarily. Just make sure that you don't cross-thread them into the transmission, and we'll fast-forward here. Now start all the bolts in, and I always start them by hand first. Pry out again on the bracket for the shift cable so that the pan can go up into place. Feed the pan back up in over the exhaust and use your pry bar. You don't need to do this with all the bolts, just a few of them enough to get it started. ![]() The gasket will hold the bolts into place. Take your new transmission pin and put the gasket into place. Okay, just use a nice lint-free cloth or a paper towel, wipe the rim, and wipe up any old transmission fluid that you can. You put the socket onto the extension backwards and tap it with a hammer to get it in. ![]() We push it in, try and push it in evenly with your fingers first to get it started, and then you can use a 19mm socket. Also being very careful not to scratch the aluminum. I'm trying to basically bend the seal out of there. Okay, I'm going to use a straight pick, and very carefully tap it between the case and the seal. When you tighten them, you want to start with the middle one and kind of go out in a spiral pattern. ![]() Okay, while we have the filter out, I go around and check all the bolts that hold the valve body in place, and make sure they're at 96 inch-pounds. Pry that bracket out and pull the pan down. Now, using a pry bar, pry between the transmission case and the bracket for the shift cable. Now tap the pan with a hammer and pull it down. This process can be done entirely with hand tools we're just going to use some air tools to speed up the process. Then we'll just fast-forward as Mike removes the rest of those 13mm bolts. Just put that on the bolt, and pry that cable aside using the extension, and just remove the bolt. You just want to use a solid extension and a 13mm socket and ratchet. The hardest one to get to is the one in this corner here. Now replace your drain plug and tighten it back up, and then remove the series of 13mm bolts along the outside of your transmission pin. Make sure you have a drip pan underneath, and just let the fluid drain out. Your transmission pin's located right here, and there's a 15mm drain plug. One of the bolts, you will need a swivel or a universal joint in order to get to it. You take these off so that the exhaust will drop down and give you extra clearance for the pan. ![]() There are three 15mm nuts holding it on each side. You'll want to raise and support your vehicle, and you're going to need to loosen the exhaust. You'll need a range of tools, as well as a new filter and fluid to get the job done.
