  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

This job was not super hard. But working on jack stands can be cumbersome and time consuming.

1) I raised the car up high enough off the floor for my fat belly to fit under it. I used a jack stand at each body location in front of the rear tires and behind the front tires. I made sure the car was level before I started any disassembly work.

2) I removed the dust/dirt shield under the transmission. I believe there was around 12 bolts total.

3) I ran the engine for a few minutes and shifter through the gears to warm up the transmission oil.

4) I removed the filler plug (8mm allen I believe) before draining any fluid. I always make sure the filler plug is able to me removed before draining anything, including the differentials. Then I removed the 2 bottom transmission plugs and drained the fluid, I believe it was around 3.5 qts.

5) Next I removed all the transmission bolts. There was about 14mm of them. If recall they were 10mm.

6) I clean out the pan really good with some brake kleen. I then cleaned the surfaces that the pan mounts to on the transmission.

7) I reinstalled the transmission pan. I use Permatex anaerobic sealer on the pan. I then coated the 2 drain lugs with anaerobic sealer, then installed them.

8) I bought a Autozone fluid pump. https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-...ce-tool-quart-or-gallon-fluid-pump/332794_0_0 I used it to refill the transmission until fluid ran out of the filler hole. I use the Valvoline Maxlife Multi-Vehicle ATF.

Reverse order of assembly. The job was not the hard. At 73k I am surprised that I can feel a difference in the transmissions performance. The next fluid change I will do it in 30k.

I did rush thru this job, so unfortunately I do not have a ton of pics. I hope this does help someone out.

No. You are not able to change all the fluid at once when doing this method. Some will disconnect a transmission line and cycle in all new oil but I am not comfortable doing that. After a few drain a refills it will be as good as new imo.

Yes, I would do a drain/fill every 30K. I actually replaced my trans pan, and the indy was able to get just under 7qts out, so even with a trans pan replacement, you can only get about 70% of the fluid out.

Only OEM. OEM part and OEM fluid.
