How do you change the transmission filter on a 2003 suzuki aerio with an automatic transmission?

  • 1 more comment 
  • Larry Bunting Feb 19, 2011

    When I changed the oil last weekend, I looked at the bottom of the transmission (transaxel?).
    All I saw was what looked like a transfer case with a plug in the bottom of it. It looked like the plug is removed by using a 3/8 in. socket wrench. I did not notice that there was any pan.
    Did I miss it?

    I have a 2003 Suzuki Aerio that needs the transmission fluid changed.

    When I was under the car changing the oil last weekend I looked for the transmission pan and did not see one.

    What I saw was what looked like a transfer case with a plug in the bottom.

    Is there a pan?

    Where is the filter located if there isn't a pan?

    I looked up the filter on-line and see that there is one.

    Help?

    Jack your car up put it on jackstands then locate your transmission pan, figure out what sockets you will need, first drain all the fluid out of the transmission, next drop the pan by taking out all of the bolts, pull you filter out while you are still under the car. Pull the pan out into an open spot and clean the pan out with gas but first check the bottom of the pan for metal shavings. This allows you to see if you tranny is acting alright and not eating at the valve walls. Then dry it off and scrap the old gasket off the pan. Clean off all the excess gasket off the pan and creating a clean surface to put the new one on. Before you go back under the car take your new filter with you and put that back in the transmission. Now put a little bit off tranny fluid on both sides of the gasket before putting it on the transmission. Then rebolt the pan to the tranny make sure you don't strip any of the bolts. Slowly tighten each one but do it in a diagonal pattern to insure tightness throughout the whole pan. Don't over torque the bolts or you could crack the pan or strip a bolt. Then drop the car down a little bit add you fluid through the dipstick opening. Add recomended amount and let car idle in neutral for about 10 minutes to check for leaks and allow fluid to get into the new filter. Then check the fluid and add slowly what is needed to fill the tranny up.

Remove the trans pan having a large transmission drain pan underneath it
Before removing the last bolt out let the fluid drain out from the transmission.
After that has subsided remove the last bolt and tilt the pan to drain the rest of the fluid
Remove the transmission filter bolts and the remove the filter and seal if equipt
Clean the old gasket from the transmissin and the pan if needed using a airasol gasket remover spray
attach the new filter pan gasket and bolts
15 pounds of torque is needed to tighten which is not much at all Just a good hard bump to the wrench will do to tighten
start the engine and check for leaks before driving

My 2003 aerio ees stalling when I come to a stop, other than that it runs fine, what ould the cause be ??

Here is a possibility for your problem. If this is an automatic trans.
the trans. is staying engaged stalling the engine. If this is the case a fluid change will not fix this issue, it is internal in transmission.
Good luck.
