Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill

  1. Refer to: Jacking and Lifting - Overview (100-02 Jacking and Lifting, Description and Operation).

  1. NOTE: If an internal problem is suspected, drain the transmission fluid through a paper filter. A small amount of metal or friction particles may be found from normal wear. If an excessive amount of metal or friction material is present, the transmission will need to be overhauled.

    Torque : 12 Nm

  1. NOTICE: The following fluid amounts listed below are for initial fill only. The transmission fluid must be even with the oil leveling plug hole and the transmission must be at normal operating temperature 85-93°C (185-200°F) or transmission damage can occur.

    1. Transmission overhaul (includes main control and torque converter drain)
      Volume : 6.34  qt ( 6  L)
    1. Main control overhaul or replace (with out transmission overhaul)
      Volume : 5.28  qt ( 5  L)
    1. Transmission draining and filling (for engine and halfshaft related repairs)
      Volume : 4.23  qt ( 4  L)
  1. Start the engine and select each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage.
  1. With the vehicle on a level hoist, the engine running in PARK, remove the oil leveling plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain until its even with the oil leveling plug hole. If the transmission fluid does not drain from the oil leveling plug hole add transmission fluid in increments of .25 L (0.264 qt) until the transmission fluid is even with the oil leveling plug hole. Install the oil leveling plug.
    Torque : 8 Nm
  1. Drive the vehicle until the transmission is at normal operating temperature 85-93°C (185-200°F).
