Pontiac 24208576 Filter Kit,Automatic Transmission Fluid

Lubricants and fluids used on your vehicle are hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly; when disposal is required, place the waste into a sealable container and deliver it to a service station, auto parts store, or other facility that accepts hazardous waste for recycling. At specified time intervals, the transmission fluid should be drained and replaced, and this procedure should only be performed after the engine has cooled down completely. Before beginning work, purchase the specified transmission fluid and a new filter, and gather necessary tools including jackstands to support the vehicle, a drain pan capable of holding at least eight pints, newspapers, and clean rags. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then place a drain pan underneath and remove the front and side pan mounting bolts, loosening the rear pan bolts approximately four turns. Carefully pry the transmission pan loose with a screwdriver to allow the fluid to drain, then remove the remaining bolts, pan, and gasket, cleaning the gasket surface of the transmission to remove all traces of the old gasket and sealant. Drain the fluid from the transmission pan, clean it with solvent, and dry it with compressed air, ensuring any magnet inside the oil pan is cleaned and replaced in the same location. Remove the filter and O-ring from the mount inside the transmission, install a new filter and O-ring, and ensure the gasket surface on the transmission pan is clean before installing a new gasket. Position the pan against the transmission and tighten each bolt a little at a time until reaching the final torque. Lower the vehicle and add the specified amount of automatic transmission fluid through the filler tube, then, with the transmission in Park and the parking brake set, run the engine at a fast idle without racing it. Move the gear selector through each range and back to Park, checking the fluid level, and inspect under the vehicle for leaks during the first few trips.

At specified intervals, the transmission fluid should be drained and replaced, ensuring the engine has cooled down completely before starting. Purchase the required transmission fluid along with a new filter and pan gasket. Necessary tools include a floor jack, jackstands for vehicle support, a drain pan with at least an eight-quart capacity, newspapers, and clean rags. Raise the vehicle securely on jackstands and place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan. Loosen all pan bolts, remove all but the front bolts, and allow the fluid to drain into the pan before removing the final bolts. If there is no drain plug, remove all bolts except those in each corner, then slowly take out the front bolts to let fluid drain. After removing the transmission pan mounting bolts, carefully pry the pan loose with a screwdriver, noting that some fluid will remain. Clean the gasket surface of the transmission thoroughly to remove old gasket and sealant, and clean the pan with solvent, drying it with compressed air if available. If equipped, clean the magnet in the pan, as a small amount of metal debris is normal, but consult a dealer if there is considerable debris. Remove the filter from the valve body by pulling it straight down, taking care not to damage the aluminum gasket surface. Install a new seal and filter, ensuring the gasket surface on the transmission pan is clean before placing a new gasket on the pan. Position the pan against the transmission and install all bolts, tightening them gradually to the specified torque. Reinstall any components removed for access, lower the vehicle, and add approximately three quarts of the specified automatic transmission fluid through the filler tube. With the transmission in Park and the parking brake set, run the engine at a fast idle without racing it. Move the gear selector through each range and back to Park, then let the engine idle for a few minutes before checking the fluid level, adding fluid as necessary to reach the proper mark on the dipstick. Finally, check under the vehicle for leaks during the first few trips and verify the fluid level again when the transmission is hot.

At specified intervals, the transmission fluid should be drained and replaced, ensuring the engine has cooled down completely before starting the procedure. Purchase the required transmission fluid along with a new filter and pan gasket prior to beginning work. Necessary tools include a floor jack, jackstands for vehicle support, a drain pan with at least an eight-quart capacity, newspapers, and clean rags. Raise the vehicle securely on jackstands and remove the heat shield next to the catalytic converter to access the pan bolts on the right side. Place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan, remove the front and side mounting bolts, and loosen the rear bolts. Carefully pry the transmission pan loose with a screwdriver to allow the fluid to drain, then remove the remaining bolts, pan, and gasket, cleaning the gasket surface thoroughly. Drain the fluid from the pan, clean it with solvent, and dry it with compressed air if available, noting that some models have magnets in the pan to catch metal debris, which should be cleaned thoroughly. Remove the filter and filter seal from the valve body, taking care not to damage the aluminum surface, then install a new seal and filter. Ensure the gasket surface on the transmission pan is clean, install a new gasket, position the pan against the transmission, and tighten all bolts gradually to the specified torque. Reinstall any components removed for access, lower the vehicle, and add approximately four quarts of the specified automatic transmission fluid through the filler tube. With the transmission in Park and the parking brake set, run the engine at a fast idle without racing it, then move the gear selector through each range and back to Park, allowing the engine to idle for a few minutes before checking the fluid level, adding more fluid as necessary to reach the proper mark on the dipstick while avoiding overfilling. Finally, check under the vehicle for leaks during the first few trips and verify the fluid level again when the transmission is hot.

Raise the vehicle securely on jackstands and place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan. If equipped with a drain plug, remove it to allow the fluid to drain, then reinsert the plug. For vehicles without a drain plug, remove all bolts except those in each corner, slowly taking out the front pan bolts to let fluid drain. Disconnect the shift linkage on the driver's side to access the pan bolts, then remove the transmission pan mounting bolts and carefully pry the pan loose. Clean the gasket surface of the transmission to remove old gasket and sealant, and clean the pan with solvent, drying it with compressed air if available.

The importance of performing a transmission fluid replacement is to maintain the proper functioning of the transmission and extend its lifespan.

Remove the filter from the mount inside the transmission. If the seal did not come out with the filter, remove it from the transmission. The new seal can be driven squarely into place using a socket of the appropriate size. Install the new filter.

Purchase the specified transmission fluid and a new filter. Gather other necessary tools such as a floor jack, jack stands, a drain pan, newspapers, and clean rags.

Raise the vehicle and securely support it on jack stands. Remove the center transmission mount nut. Use a floor jack positioned under the transmission pan to raise the transmission slightly. Place a block of wood between the pan and jack head to prevent damage.

The engine should completely cool down.

Check under the vehicle for leaks.

Ensure the transmission pan's gasket surface is clean, then attach a new gasket and install the pan against the transmission, securing all bolts. Tighten each bolt gradually to the specified torque.

Elevate the vehicle and secure it on jackstands, and if necessary, remove the front section of the exhaust system that obstructs the pan removal.

Ensure the gasket surface on the transmission pan is clean, then install a new gasket on the pan. Put the pan in place against the transmission and tighten each bolt a little at a time until the final torque figure is reached.
