The automatic transaxle fluid should be drained and replaced at the specified time intervals. Before beginning work, purchase the specified transmission fluid. Other tools necessary for this job include jackstands to support the vehicle in a raised position, a drain pan capable of holding several quarts, newspapers, and clean rags. The fluid should be drained immediately after the vehicle has been driven. Hot fluid is more effective than cold fluid at removing built-up sediment. After the vehicle has been driven to warm up the fluid, raise it and place it on jackstands for access to the transaxle drain plug. On some models, it may be necessary to remove bolts from the engine torque rod and suspension sway bar for access. Move the necessary equipment under the vehicle, being careful not to touch any of the hot exhaust components. Place the drain pan under the drain plug in the transaxle pan. Remove the drain plug. Be sure the drain pan is positioned correctly, as fluid will come out with some force. Once the fluid is drained, reinstall the drain plug securely. Remove the transaxle pan bolts, carefully pry the pan loose with a screwdriver, and remove it. Remove the filter retaining bolts and detach the filter from the transaxle. Be careful when lowering the filter as it contains residual fluid. Place the new filter in position and install the bolts. Tighten them to the torque. Carefully clean the gasket surfaces of the pan, removing all traces of old gasket material. Clean the pan with solvent and dry it with compressed air. Be sure to clean and reinstall any magnet(s). Install a new gasket, place the pan in position, and install the bolts. Apply sealant to the threads of the two bolts with cross-grooved heads before installing them. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque. With the engine off, add new fluid to the transaxle through the dipstick tube. Use a funnel to prevent spills. It's best to add a little fluid at a time, continually checking the level with the dipstick. Allow the fluid time to drain into the pan. Start the engine and shift through all positions from Park through Low, then shift into Park and apply the parking brake. With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add fluid up to the HOT level on the dipstick.
