How do you change the transmission filter and refill the transmission

place large masonry mixing tray[home depot]under transmission pan to catch fluid. remove 19 bolts on transmission pan.pull off filter.make sure o-ring gasket is removed if it is not on old filter.push in new filter.clean old gasket off pan.install new gasket and pan. refill transmission fluid.check pan for leaks.

Drain transmission fluid. Remove transmission oil pan. Remove and replace transmission filter. re-install oil pan with new gasket and refill with new transmission fluid.

When the pan is dropped and fluid is drained, to refill, it usually needs 5 - 6 quarts. When refilling, check the transmission fluid dipstick as you are adding the last two quarts. And also run the transmission thru the gears.

Remove the trans pan,change the filter,clean pan and magnet,install new gasket and refill with correct fluid. (Dex/Merc)

Thanks for using FixYa -a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

you should always change the filter when changing the transmission fluid, and a gasket is a good idea too.

remove transmission pan. should be one bolt on the filter, take that out, pull off filter put on new one, replace transmission pan, refill with fluid and ta da your ready to roll

First, check your transmission fluid. If it is low, you should fill it immediately. If it is full, but brown in color, it should be changed. A likely cause of the problem is a clogged filter. If you have not had the trans. filter changed on 60,000 or more miles, do so. It is a good idea to have the fluid flushed and refilled at this point as well. You may want to consider refilling with a synthetic fluid. This will tend to increase transmission lifespan. Just make sure the fluid is compatible with your vehicle. Mercon V is a good bet for this. Finally, there is a product called Lucas Transmission Fix. I use this in everything. I recommend using a bottle when refilling the transmission, no matter what kind of fluid you use. Put the Lucas in after 2-3 qts of transmission fluid, so as not to clog the pump at startup.

Automatic and standard transmission needs fluid change every 24 months. On automatic transmissions, the gasket needs to be changed as well as the filter. On standard transmission there is a drain plug that can be loosened up, and refilled through the refill hole. Standard transmission use gear oil, while automatic transmission uses automatic transmission fluid.
