Default Re: Maybe it's time to change tranny fluid?

i did the flush. simple handtools and a couple pans for fluid and the parts your set.
remove the drain plug and drain the pan
remove the pan bolts and pan and filter (filter just pulls off the spout)
clean the pan and inspect and clean the magnet. (reinstall the magnet in the pan!)
place new filter on spout and reinstall the pan with new rubber gasket. (bolts dont need to be jammed tight just snugged up firmly so the seal isnt pinched)
fill with 4 qts new fluid
disconnect the metal to rubber line that runs along the engine oil pan
put the line in a jug (1 gal) and start the car put it in each gear for 2 to3 secs. each. this will drain most of the oil out of the torque convertor.
reconnect the line and fill the trans to the proper level.
an infrared temp gage is recommended for ensuring the trans is up to operating temps, check level.
you will need a new locking clip for the trans tube as they are 1 time use. you also need the trans dipstick tool or make 1. (see woody's thread for the tool)
