What steps should be taken before beginning work on the transmission fluid and Automatic Transmission Filter change on Chevrolet Corvette?

Question

Accepted Answer

The transmission fluid of the described car has to be bought beforehand as well as the new filter, the required tools including the floor jack, jack stands to support the car, the drain pan that can hold at least 5 quarts, the newspapers, and the clean rags. Lift the car and put it safely on some stands and then remove the lower shield of the vehicle though it is done while the car is leveled. Position the drain pan beneath the transmission fluid pan, then unscrew the front and side pan mounting bolts, then turn the rear ones a turn or four. Removal of the transmission pan requires loosening of the rear bolts to create a gap then pulling the front of the pan down with the help of a screwdriver. Disengage the remaining bolts and pull out the pan and gasket, and empty the last of the fluid and then clean the gasket surface of the transmission very thoroughly, to make sure that all traces of the old gasket and sealant have been swept away. Disconnect and clean the fluid pan using a solvent, then renew the magnet mounted at the base of the pan, at that point clean it. Very carefully pull the filter straight down out of the transmission, if the filter tube breaks off in the housing it will be very difficult to replace later, remove the filter seal and install a new one using a seal puller and slide hammer attachment. Before, placing the gasket make sure the surface of the transmission pan is clean, place a new gasket on the pan then start inserting two bolts if the gasket doesn't have locking tabs. Ensure that there is a magnet if available, align the pan to the transmission and fasten each bolt incrementally to the final stage without overtightening, ensure that oil pan bolts are well inserted for better fitting. Fill in the new fluid to the advised level of transmission, next, rev up the engine to fast idle while setting the gear to park and parking brake engaged. Operate the gear selector through each gear and back to the park position in order to check the fluid level, however this is normally very low at this position. During the initial runs of the car, check underneath the vehicle for signs of leakage, and finally, note that the material removed from the transmission cannot be reclaimed and should be discharged correspondingly. Consult local auto parts stores, disposal facilities or local environmental agency for the disposal, once the fluid is cool, drain it into a disposal container and transport it for disposal and do not dispose it by pouring it on the ground or in the drains.
