Dont use mileage as basis for changing tranny fluid. Rather use the color of the oil. If its gray, black or dark colored then or milky have it changed. The color of your tranny fluid should be a clear red.How often do i need to change my transmission fluid on my car?

I suggest you look in the owners handbook that should have come with your car. All your recommended maintenance intervals will be found there. Depending on how you drive (tow/lots of city stop and go) your specified change interval will vary. If it ever smells or looks burnt (brown), never mind what the manual says, change it right away.
The bottom line is that the material that wears off the clutch packs becomes a free floating abrasive, so cleaner oil/more frequent than specified changes will typically translate into a longer service life for the trans. flushing the trans is typically better since it replaces the dirty oil that would otherwise remain in the torque converter, tranny internals and the transmission cooler. what's in the pan is only part of the total oil capacity.
Fresh oil is cheap insurance against premature wear, Some people I know change the fluid and their filters annually even if the fluid %26quot;looks%26quot; clean.How often do i need to change my transmission fluid on my car?
Every 50k,it must still be red. Do not use flush system that does not change filter,although some cars HONDA'S,filter cant be changed,its internal%26lt;FWD%26gt;newer.Preventive maint is best thing to keep on.Fluid that is black,metal grey,or milkshake indicate problems,changing fluid wont repair worn or broken parts.at this point seek pro help..How often do i need to change my transmission fluid on my car?
Yes check your manual or call a dealership depending on model, transmission, fluid type and vehicle use it can be anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000

How to change Transmission in a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer?
My friend asked me if i could change his transmission fluid and filter in his Trailblazer. I cannot find any diagrams or instructions anywhere online, and i usually can find what i need for my vehicles via the web. Thats why i need y'alls help. How involved is this process going to be and where can i find some D.I.Y info (eg. diagrams, step by step instructions, etc...). Thanks in advance for all your help!!!How to change Transmission in a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer?

4 quartsHow to change Transmission in a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer?
Pull transmission pan off, pretty sure you use a 13mm socket. Shift cable may be in the way, gently pry the braket that holds the cable to the side with a prybar. Drain fluid and replace filter, filter will pull straight down, and new one will slip right in. Replace gasket and fill fluid(DEXRON 3). Will take 5-6 quarts

Honda civic 2002 LX transmission fluid change and fuel filter?
I'm not a mechanic by any means...I'm good with changing oil, brake pads, spark plugs, some belts and could do an alternator....but I'm not certain if I should try the transmission fluid or take it to a garage???? Also, I looked in my Haynes book and seems like the fuel filter sits on top of the fuel tank and I will have to go back and look but I think I remember reading something about a hatch under the back seat to change the fuel filter so you don't have to drop the tank. Anyone ever try these two things and how difficult would it be??Honda civic 2002 LX transmission fluid change and fuel filter?
Personally, I don't think a 2002 needs a gas filter change. I wouldn't bother.
As for transmission fluid, I would change it at about the 75,000 mile mark.
First, purchase only fluid made for that vehicle from the dealer - don't buy a generic substitute at the auto store! The Honda's are very fussy about the fluid. I wouldn't take a chance on ruining the trans by buying a cheap replacement fluid.
It is very easy to change it. Just put a catch pan under the trans and remove the plug to drain the fluid. It is true that you will not drain 100% of the fluid this way, but replacing 80% of it gives your trans mostly new fluid in it. This is what I do. The service stations try to sell you a flushing of the system, but it is expensive (they have to pay for the expensive machine).
If you are really concerned about getting all of the old fluid out you can flush it yourself. Here's how: Buy twice the amount of fluid (8 containers instead of 4). Find the trans inlet cooling tube on the bottom of the radiator and crack it open to allow fluid to escape. Start the car and let it idle while filling with new fluid. When you think half of the fluid has been passed through, secure the cooling tube and top off the fluid. It's still a lot cheaper than having a flush done.Honda civic 2002 LX transmission fluid change and fuel filter?
if you don't know how to change it, take it to mavis tires or somewhereHonda civic 2002 LX transmission fluid change and fuel filter?
alot of times with a 'drain and fill' method for switching up ur tranny fluid, you will only end up replacing about 50-75% of the fluid, is your trans auto or manual? If it's an auto, I would reccomend just bringing it into a quick lube shop, most of them have t-tec machines that go straight into the dipstick hole, and will replace 100% of the trans fluid. Also, for your fuel filter, I can't remember if the 2002's still have the fuel filter located under the hood by the firewall, if your FF is there, it is an extremely easy job to do, you will just need some open box end wrenches, and vice gripsHonda civic 2002 LX transmission fluid change and fuel filter?
dude dont do it your self, tranny is something you dont wanna mess with, unless you have money for a new one... I think you have to blow and flush all the fluid out b4 you put in the new one, its not like changing motor oil so just take it to the dealer so you have the warranty on it aswell

Do I need a transmission fluid change or valve adjustment?
I drive a 94 Geo Prizm w/ 147,000 miles and to my knowledge, the transmission fluid has not been changed for at least 100,000 miles and probably 10 years. Everything shifts fine, but I am wondering whether or not I should consider changing the fluid out. I hear differeing opinions from anyone I ask.....some say its important to change it every 30k, others say don't touch it.
Also, some people are saying I should get a valve adjustment, which I also hear differing opinions on whether or not its necessary.
How much are each of these services, and how necessary are they? Thanks!Do I need a transmission fluid change or valve adjustment?
its over 100,000 miles and havent been done yet then it should.....a transmission fluid change should be done every 30k or 2 years just to be safe....a trans fluid change is like 50$.....

Transmission fluid change cost?
I have a 2007 Dodge charger 2.7 model with less then 49K. Not to long ago while waiting at a red light the car started to tremble a little bit and my check engine light turned on, I went to get a computer diagnostic from Auto zone and they showed the screen of the COMPUTER they use to do the diagnostic and it said the problem was the transmission fluid. Since then my check engine light has turned off but I would still like to have this problem fixed and I have also not felt the car tremble while waiting at a light. Can some one tell me about how much it would cost to have the transmission fluid change along with a filter if it requires one.
I dont have a problem changing my own Oil but for something like this I figure I would just let the pro檚 handle it.Transmission fluid change cost?
That trembling problem doesn't sound like a transmission issue to me but it's a good idea to have the transmission fluid and filter changed anyway due to the mileage.I would bring it to a transmission shop and have them run a free scan and get them to change the transmission fluid and filter it will cost about 100 bucks to get the fluid changed etc.Just be sure that you have them place the transmission module in the learning mode once the fluid and filter is changed on it and it takes awhile for the transmission to relearn too.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way to me it sounds like that vehicle needs a basic tune up it's due for one anyways.Transmission fluid change cost?
I'm going to say about 50-75 bucks. And I agree about not doing it yourself; if you bend the pan it you would have to change it.
I also wouldn't trust Auto Zone that it's the transmission fluid. Bring it to a qualified pro, tell them what they said, and let the pro look at it.

How to change the transmission fluid on a 1991 hona civic dx? help!?
i need to change the transmission fluid on my 1991 honda civic dx hatchback with the 4 speed trans and 1.5l motor. help!How to change the transmission fluid on a 1991 hona civic dx? help!?
Although I haven't personally changed the tranny oil on a 1991 honda civic, I have changed tranny oil on multiple cars. On all of these cars, the one common factor, is that some place or another there's a drain plug and a fill plug. Here's the general process:
1) Drive car for approx. 15 minutes to get the oil in the tranny warm.
2) Jack the car up as high as possible that is safe, yet flat.
(be careful, car will be hot)
3) Find the fill plug and remove.
4) Find the drain plug, and catch old fluid.
5) Once fluid is drained, wrap threads with teflon tape and reapply drain plug.
6) From here, figure out a way to get your new tranny fluid into the fill hole. I usually use a long hose and gravity. Others have used suction guns and what not. Continue to fill the tranny until fluid starts to overflow out of the fill hole.
7) Wrap fill plug with teflon and reapply (be careful because most transmissions have an aluminum case)
8) Lower car and test drive, inspect for leaks.
That's basically the gist of it. Good luck.How to change the transmission fluid on a 1991 hona civic dx? help!?
there should be a plug on bottom to drain it,one on the side to fill it, i think that transmission takes motor oil, if it does and you put gear oil in it you'll do damageHow to change the transmission fluid on a 1991 hona civic dx? help!?
On the honda gearboxes auto or manual they have drain plugs on the side of the box, easy way of telling which bolt? turn your wheel and look at the gearbox from the side.
simply get a 3/8 drive rachet and it should fit onto it, look for a bolt with square cut.
refil cap is on top of the box should look for a yellow/black dipstick thats where you fill it and it has a level indicator also.How to change the transmission fluid on a 1991 hona civic dx? help!?
Item 23 is the drain plug which is designed to be removed using a standard 3/8 ratchet wrench.

Item 11 is the dipstick which also serves as the fill hole for new transmission fluid.

The only 4-speed Honda had available for your car was the automatic. Manual transmissions were 5-speeds. Get the OEM service manual for your car from www.helminc.com and follow the directions within to do your tranmission fluid change properly and to Honda specification. While wrapping the drain plug with teflon tape can't hurt as long as none of the material gets into the transmission, Honda drain plugs have a copper or aluminum crush washer that is designed to seal the plug. You should always replace this seal washer anytime you remove the bolt and follow the manual torque specification.
Unless you are doing this in the freezing cold, there is no particular need to warm the fluid to any major degree.
While a manual transmission is filled until fluid comes out the fill hole THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION! Be sure to fill an automatic until the level reaches the top fill mark on the dipstick with the engine running and the transmission in neutral. You should cycle the transmission through the gear selections to properly distribute the new transmission fluid.
The job is relatively easy. Good luck!

To change the fluid you need to go to a garage to have it done. They must hook the transmissions line that run to and from the cooler to a machine that swaps the fluid out. I don't know if GM does this but Ford does, You need to check but when you don't see a dipstick it usually mean they have lifetime fluid in them, which mean it never gets changed. If your anything like I am ,and it sounds like you are by the description of your car maintenance, I wouldn't trust that it's really lifetime and just have them change it.How to Change The transmission fluid in a 1999 Pontiac Grand am gt 3.4 liter v6?
no, no, no. there is no such thing as a lifetime fluid in transmissions, unless you want that lifetime to be a short one! change every 30-60k miles max! there's no dipstick, but search the internet there's a complicated way to check the level, and be sure to thank GM when you try to check it

I would try to check the fluid myself, and if you are sucessful (and feel positive you know the level it needs to be at) Then go ahead and take the pan bolts out %26amp; drop the pan, change the filter, and put fresh in.... I would rather do this than taking to a shop for flush %26amp; refill as sometimes doing that dislodges crud in the tranny which can block the fluid flowing and burn it up...so I usually do several changes the manual way to replace the majority of the fliud...

hey, in grand am's a trans axel comes stock so in turn it is not possible to check the fluid because it is not a true transmission so to say.

Have the filter and fluid flushed at a professional garage. To check the fluid, the vehicle must be level and running. Remove the screw on the R/S of the case near the R/S inner tripod joint. The fluid should drip out while running. Since it is impossible to get beneath the vehicle while it is in the ground, the best bet is letting a professional handle it.How to Change The transmission fluid in a 1999 Pontiac Grand am gt 3.4 liter v6?

Transaxles are sealed units, lubed for life and usually packed with bentonite grease, this grease will take on moisture (won't affect the lubes performance) and thin out when hot..... and cause a little seepage maybe.

You shouldn't need to remove a bolt. There is a filler tube located on top of your tranny. On Civic's it's usually around your shift linkage. I could have told you for sure but you didn't specify the year. But it's definitly located on top of your trans. pull out the dipstick and get a funnel and pour in a quart of fluid in it. There is a line on the dipstick so make sure that you check the low side (no matter which side of the stick looks like it's the fullest). That way you don't overfill it. And one more thing when you don't pull the pan off and change out or clean the trans filter you aren't helping your transmission that much. Because the converter holds at least 3 quarts and the rest of your trans holds at least 3 more. Only a little over two quarts should drain out when you take your pan off and change/ and or clean your filter. Hope this advice helped you out.

How to change a transmission fluid on 2002 ford sports trac?
Take it in to an oil change place, and make an appointment to get the fluid changed. They have the equipment that will extract the old and put in the new. They will hook the machine to the transmission cooler lines and one line will pull out the old fluid and the other line will install the new. You can see when the fluild comes out clean, then you know it is fully changed. If you do it yourself, then you still have the fluid left in the torque converter and that is quite a bit of fluid.
It is easier to have it done, than mess with it.
good luck.

Easiest way is to get a suction pump from the car parts store and suck it out the dip stick tube. There are manual hand pumps, about the size of a caulking gun. This is the method that the quick oil change places use, except they have powered pumps.

Should I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don't know if it has ever been changed before..?
I'm trying to determine if I should change my transmission fluid. The problem is that I don't know if it's been changed before. Ever. I bought my 1998 Saturn SL2 with 93k miles, and have had no problems. It's now at 99k, and I'm about to move to California (from AZ) while pulling a small trailer. The fluid appears red, and doesn't smell burnt. I've been told by a friend who is a diesel mechanic not to change the fluid unless you know it has been changed at regular intervals. %26quot;If it hasn't been changed ever, then new fluid eats away at some of the protective coating that the old transmission fluid has formed on the gears (or something like that) and then the transmission dies.%26quot; I have no idea whether it has been changed before or not.. Anyone have any advice? I want to keep my transmission good, but at the same time, I don't want to kill it if it hasn't been maintained properly. I don't know how it was maintained in the past.. I bought it from a dealer in AZ, but it's from Illinois.Should I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don%26039;t know if it has ever been changed before..?
Just change it. Your friend is wrong.Should I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don%26039;t know if it has ever been changed before..?
I would have it changed and have a new filter installed as well. Saturn uses a %26quot;spin on%26quot; transmission filter much like an engine oil filter. There is no pan to remove or gasket to replace. They just drain the old stuff out, spin a new filter on and fill it back up.
I would have this done by a good repair shop and have them look it over for any other problems. You don't want to be broke down on the roadside in the middle of the desert.Should I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don%26039;t know if it has ever been changed before..?
Changing the transmission fluid and filter is a routine change of fluids that should be performed on the vehicle.
For your Saturn it should have been done at 80000 miles. If you have no way to find out if it was done, then consider that it hasn't and I would have it done prior to the long haul. Pulling a trailer will heat the trans fluid considerably.
The saturn auto trans have an external (older models) filter and they usually had a magnet attached that has to be removed and installed on the new filter.Should I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don%26039;t know if it has ever been changed before..?
If the fluid is still red, then it has been changed recently. If you are going to make that trip and pull a trailer, it would be wise to change to the best trans fluid available and filth er, making sure they are the type recommended by the manufacturer. Before I make a trip I change all my fluids on my car and filters. Make sure you change the air filter and spark plugs too, this might make a huge difference on your horsepower and mileage.Should I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don%26039;t know if it has ever been changed before..?
I've drove cars and trucks over 250.000 miles and never changed the fluidShould I change my transmission fluid (?) - I don%26039;t know if it has ever been changed before..?
I would go ahead and have it changed. Also consider having an external transmission oil cooler installed in front of your radiator. This will help the transmission run cooler while pulling the trailer.

A newer Honda tranny is different than most. You'll notice that there is not a pan. There is however some kind of filter/screen that you don't have to replace they do that when they overhaul.
You'll find the drain plug on the passengers side of the tranny. BEFORE you pull that be sure that you have something that you can drain the fluid into . . . some people want to wear goggles just in case it splashes, it's a good idea, but not a must. Once you drain it, REPLACE THE PLUG. If you forget this you're screwed. Then go to the top of the engine block and locate you're tranny dip stick. If you're not sure where that is again refer to your owners manual. You can take a cleaned out oil just BE SURE IT'S CLEAN!! and cut out the bottom if you don't have a funnel to put the new fluid into. You want to be careful on what kind of fluid you are replacing it with, Hondas are touchy especially newer ones. Valvoline is good, but Honda has special types that they suggest you use, your manual or a local Honda dealer will know this.
Make sure you are on level ground and read your manual to find out how much to add. Usually around 2.5 - 2.7. When you've filled it. replace your dip stick, and drive your car about 3 - 5 miles. Let it get warm and then come back to level ground and check the level again. Be careful not to over fill. Also be sure the cap is clean when you put it back in. Good Luck.salon create medium hair cuts

Does anyone know how to change the transmission fluid on a 2007 scion tc?
I need to change it cause you should do it every 30,000 miles..and im at 36,000.. Instead of paying someone i would rather do it myself if thats possible..Does anyone know how to change the transmission fluid on a 2007 scion tc?
How you change it is the easy part. You have to drop the transmission pan unless the changed and put drain plugs in them there is only one that I know of that has a drain plug.There are at least 20 bolts that have to come out get a drain pan and take out the first 5 or 6 bolts on either side or enough to let the pan drop down far enough to drain the fluid.after it drains take the pan off and clean it out and scrape off the old gasket off just be careful not to get any deep scratches in the pan an old putty knife works pretty good make sure you scrape off all the old gasket off of the transmission to. Take off the old filter and take note of how it goes on all of the parts you need will be in the box with the new filter like the new gasket when you put the new one on you might be tempted to use some gasket maker to hold the new one on resist the urge.probably the easiest thing you can do get a threaded rod you can get them at Lowe's and have it cut down to around 4 rods about 6 or 8 inches a piece and thread them in to your transmission at the 4 corners and put the new gasket on these rods and then the pan it will hold the gasket straight while the pan goes on put the rest of the transmission pan bolts in one at a time and when you get to the rods take them out and put the bolt back in refill it with 3.7 Quarts start it check for leaks and you are goodDoes anyone know how to change the transmission fluid on a 2007 scion tc?
it is rather easy
You have to get under the car and unscrew the transmission oil pan bolt (or bolt may be on transmission)
You probably dont have a cap for your transmission fluid to go it so you will need to take out the transmission dipstick and use a funnel to get trans fluid in the trans
probably takes 4 quarts of trans fluidDoes anyone know how to change the transmission fluid on a 2007 scion tc?

Is there an online diagram on how to change out the transmission fluid and filter for a '94 camaro?
I need to change out my fluid and replace the filter. I don't know where to start or what to look for. I have a bottle of lucas and enough fluid to replace it and a brand new filter.Is there an online diagram on how to change out the transmission fluid and filter for a %26039;94 camaro?
It is messy, but be prepared. Jack car up in front and block it. Then get a BIG pan, as there is no drain plug. See the flat, mostly square pan on the bottom of the transmission, good, now loosen all the bolts, see how the fluid comes out everywhere? It runs down the frame yuck, but nessessary. When the mess is over, there is another square pan under that one, but it just has 3 screws, take them out and keep screws discard filter (square thing), then wipe the bottom of the pan out good, take new filter and install, then take just a small amount of pematex or grease or vasoline, just to keep gasket on pan straight, smear it on the pan lip and set gasket on it, then put in place, and start a few bolts, then the rest, only slightly tight, then tighten all the bolts crisscrossing back and forth, then go all around, they should be tight but not overly tight, while it's up, get some degreaser spray and spray it down and hose it off, drop car back down and fill to proper leval.Is there an online diagram on how to change out the transmission fluid and filter for a %26039;94 camaro?
I have never seen one but this can be a messy job. need to remove almost all pan bolts then when removing last few break pan loose and drain some of oil using a few bolts opposite where oil is drain to hold pan up. then completely remove pan and gasket the remove and then remove and replace filter. then clean off pan and replace gasket, then bolt back up. be sure to evenly tighten bolts, do not over torque as can break. then fill with trans fluid, but do not over fill. In doing this you will not get old fluid out of torque converter. need special equipment to flush this out.

There is no drain plug. You have to drop the pan,clean, replace gasket and refill with fluid.How do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
buy a manual for itHow do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
you must drop the pan to drain on a auto plug on bottom on standardHow do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
Well there is no drain plug on the tranny you have to pull the pan to let out the fluid. then change the transmission filter (also inside the pan and ussually a flat screen looking peice) be sure to clean the pan and tranny surface very well before reinstalling the pan. It is ussually a bad idea to change the fluid and filter on the older models because of the wear on the clutch bands in the tranny be careful you might have to replace the tranny if you do this. You mentioned gear box it sounds to me like they are refering to the rear end witch has a plug on the back axle in the center. Oh ya unless you are refering to a STANDARD TRANSMISSION in that case the best way to do it is to pull the gear shifter out and add the fluid from there. But check and be sure you put in the right fluid some standard transmissions use gear oil and others use regular automatic transmission fluid. PS if you put a little too much fluid in the standard tranny it will be okay it has a vent that will let the excess drain out. If you need more help get a Chilton's book it will show you everything you can get it at Autozone Napa Highlow anywhere... Good luck.How do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
IMO You should take it to a transmission shop and have the transmission cooler and torque converter drained and flushed at the same time. - if you just drop the pan and replace the filter and fluid there's still gonna be about 4 - 5 quarts of dirty fluid left in the torque converter and transmission cooler.
If it's a manual transmission;
Some of the old Fords had a magnetic drain plug on the bottom and a fill plug on the side... The ones that didn't have a drain plug were drained by jacking the front of the car and removing the lower extension housing bolt on back of the gearbox.How do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
Hi there locate the gearbox, there is a flat pan there with a load of bolts round it. get a large container and remove all the bolts and allow the fluid to drain !!! WARNING USED TRANSMISSION FLUID IS BOTH CARCENAGENIC AND TOXIC remove the pan and really you should change the fitlers as well, once all the fluid is drained remove the old seal and fit a new one and refit pan and torque bolts to the correct settings. when you fill the box use the correct fluid and follow the manufacturers process for checking the level as many different methods are usedHow do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
I don't know much about the Galaxy but Ford doesn't normally fit a gearbox drain plug. I think the gearbox would have to be removed in order to drain the lubricant. This should be done by a really experienced fitter, preferably a Ford trained one. I would recommend you check my recommendation with Ford trained Fitter. He could certainly do the job for you but it would take quite a time which you would have to pay for...and the oil will be fairly expensive. Also you need to know why the mechanics you have asked are all saying %26quot;New gear box%26quot; It's unlikely they are ALL rip off merchants. Be aware that if a gearbox siezes at speed you will have a real problem on your hands in trying to control the car....depressing the clutch pedal is not a lot of help in such a situation!How do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
Transmission service is certainly not as easy or straightforward as oil changes, but considering the frustration and inefficiency of a transmission that isn't operating properly and the jaw-dropping cost of a rebuilt unit, we'll happily walk you through how it's done.
Buy the appropriate fluid for the transmission. This is extremely important - do not attempt to fill the transmission with anything but what the manufacturer recommends. Buy more than you need just in case. We'll also need a filter and a new pan gasket. Tools vary from job to job, but a set of sockets, a variety of extension bars, and a universal joint (or %26quot;wobble drive%26quot;) will usually do the trick. You also may need a gasket scraper to clean the sealing surface of the pan and transmission case, and some solvent. Last but certainly not least, a large catch pan is required.
The type of fluid and filter change that we're about to show will replace only a portion of the system's fluid, and therefore is best suited to vehicles that are not long overdue for this type of maintenance. Before tackling this project, pull the transmission dipstick and perform a visual and olfactory check of the fluid's condition. A burnt smell or color indicates fluid that's far past overdue (or more severe problems), and it's recommended that the vehicle be brought to a service station for a flush of the transmission and cooler. If you do elect for a professional flush-and-fill, make sure that the filter is also replaced during the process. We prefer to perform this service on a regular basis (roughly every 25,000 miles), and therefore we don't worry about extracting every last bit of used fluid.
If your transmission pan has a drain plug, consider yourself lucky while you remove it to start draining the fluid. In this case, we're not that fortunate, so we start by breaking loose each of the pan bolts with the appropriately-sized socket. Don't remove any of the bolts at this time.
Often, it will be difficult to access one or more of the bolts, so a bit of creativity may be required. Don't rush things, because tough bolts only get that much worse if the corners get rounded off. In this particular case, a 3/8%26quot;-drive socket was too large to fit over the bolt head (the transmission mount was extremely close), so a slightly slimmer 1/4%26quot;-drive socket was used. .
Some transmissions will utilize the pan bolts to secure various brackets, especially for the shift cable. If that is the case, remove only those bolts, and move the offending components out of the way.
Once all of the bolts have been loosened, remove them, leaving one in place at each corner of the pan. Once this is done, pick a corner to drop first (the front right corner looked to be the best bet in our situation). Remove that bolt, and loosen the others as required to start draining the fluid. As you can see, the fluid will start leaking from almost around the entire pan, so a drain pan at least the size of Montana the transmission will need to be in place to catch all of it. Keep kitty litter handy to soak up any spills.
Once the flow of fluid stops, remove the remaining bolts and carefully lower the transmission pan. A substantial amount of fluid will still remain, so keep the pan as level as possible.
In my case, the filter is removed simply by pulling it down with twisting motion, being careful not to snag any of the wiring harness. Yours made be held on with a bolt. We'd also recommend not dropping it into the drain pan and splashing ATF.
Let the transmission drain for a while. The fluid that we recovered gets measured so that we know how much to add during the refilling process. We recovered five quarts, and added an estimated half-quart to this amount to compensate for what was spilled during the process.
Next, we clean out the pan. It's entirely normal to find a fair amount of sludge and other wear debris, but significant amounts of ferrous material may indicate problems. At this time, you may choose to install a drain plug kit, or fit an aftermarket pan that includes one (some aftermarket pans also increase fluid capacity).
Clean the sealing surface of the pan using some solvent (we used brake cleaner) and a Scotchbrite abrasive pad. If a cork gasket was previously used, it may be necessary to break out a gasket scraper, but be careful not to gouge the surface.
Place the new gasket in place. Also clean the transmission case, using extreme care not to damage the sealing surface or introduce dirt into the transmission internals.
Take note of the filter's seal. It's obviously ideal to remove the old seal from the transmission if it didn't come out when removing the filter, but don't attempt this unless you're sure that you can remove it without damaging the transmission. While they usually pop out with ease, we've run into a couple of them that have been stuck in place and have added significant time to the project. If in doubt, leave the old seal in place, because once it's been damaged by a ham-fisted removal attempt, there is not other choice but to change it out. Tap the new seal into place using a soft-faced mallet.
Gently press the new filter into place. Make sure that it is fully seated.
Gently lift the pan into place while attempting to keep the gasket lined up properly. This may take a few attempts. Install the pan bolts and snug them up, but don't tighten them yet.
Next, torque the bolts to the correct value (22 ft-lbs in this case). If no tightening pattern is provided in your service documentation, simply go around the perimeter of the pan.
Before crawling out from under the vehicle, it's not a bad idea to clean off the exhaust if you've dripped fluid onto it during this process, or else you may get an unpleasant surprise shortly after starting it for the first time.
The correct amount of fluid is used to fill the transmission through the dipstick tube. We then start the engine, shift through each of the gears, and check the fluid level according to the manufacturer's recommendations (according to the dipstick, it should be done in Park and with the engine running and car level). In this case, there are two ranges marked on the dipstick - one each for %26quot;hot%26quot; and %26quot;cold%26quot; - and so we don't need to warm up the transmission completely to perform a preliminary check. Once we verified that it was in the ballpark, we went for a drive to warm the trans to its normal operating temperature before we made a final observation of the level and checked underneath the vehicle for any leaks.
Since we're filling the trans through the dipstick tube, any pooling can hinder our efforts in obtaining an accurate fluid level measurement. Therefore, it's important to be patient while verifying that the transmission is indeed properly topped-off, as underfilling or overfilling may result in severe damage. Checking transmission fluid levels can be a significant challenge, which is why many manufacturers have removed the dipstick entirely in favor of measuring the fluid level electronically.
The old transmission fluild should be recycled, of course. Our local recycling center simply mixes it with waste oil, but you'll want to check with your location to see what should be done with it as to avoid contaminating a large amount of recycled material. At this time, we're unaware of any efforts to recycle automatic transmission filters, so we let the part drain for at least 24 hours and then dispose of it.
Enjoy and good luck!
There is no drain plug. You have to drop the pan,clean, replace gasket and refill with fluid.How do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
buy a manual for itHow do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
you must drop the pan to drain on a auto plug on bottom on standardHow do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
Well there is no drain plug on the tranny you have to pull the pan to let out the fluid. then change the transmission filter (also inside the pan and ussually a flat screen looking peice) be sure to clean the pan and tranny surface very well before reinstalling the pan. It is ussually a bad idea to change the fluid and filter on the older models because of the wear on the clutch bands in the tranny be careful you might have to replace the tranny if you do this. You mentioned gear box it sounds to me like they are refering to the rear end witch has a plug on the back axle in the center. Oh ya unless you are refering to a STANDARD TRANSMISSION in that case the best way to do it is to pull the gear shifter out and add the fluid from there. But check and be sure you put in the right fluid some standard transmissions use gear oil and others use regular automatic transmission fluid. PS if you put a little too much fluid in the standard tranny it will be okay it has a vent that will let the excess drain out. If you need more help get a Chilton's book it will show you everything you can get it at Autozone Napa Highlow anywhere... Good luck.How do i change my transmission fluid in my ford galaxy?
IMO You should take it to a transmission shop and have the transmission cooler and torque converter drained and flushed at the same time. - if you just drop the pan and replace the filter and fluid there's still gonna be about 4 - 5 quarts of dirty fluid left in the torque converter and transmission cooler.

How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
It doesn't have a stick thing to check the oil like the motor oil and my engine is knocking but the temp. won't go up so it is not the motor hopefully...How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
to answer your question, start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature, raise the vehicle, while the engine is still running remove the fluid checking plug. It's a small metal pipe plug. Fluid will run out if it's overfull. If it's low on fluid, add fluid to it until it runs out of the plug hole. To change the fluid and filter, you must remove the trans pan and allow all of the fluid to drain out. It should have a reusable pan gasket.
Now, if your engine is knocking, chances are you don't need to change the trans fluid. Save your time and money. Take it to a reputable repair shop to have them diagnose the noise.How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?

if your motor is knocking i would think its internal engine problems more than tranny problem
to find out which cylinder is knocking remove the spark plug wire while the car runs and see if the knocking goes awayHow Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
Your low on engine oil if your car is knocking and nothing else. I had a 1999 Le Baron and it ticked %26quot;knocked%26quot; for a month befor i checked the oil and i was a quart low. Your tranny shouldnt knock if your low on oil. It will slip and go lose gears.How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
I doubt that the trans is causing the knocking,but if you want to check the fluid,there is a screw in plug in the front of the trans with an 11mm head.It's near the coolant lines.Unscrew it and see that the fluid is at that level,if not then pour some into the top of the trans by unscrewing the plastic cap.If you want to change the fluid,disconnect one of the coolant lines to the radiator and start the engine,it will pump itself dry.

How much for Manual transmission fluid change?
1999 Civic EX coupe 5 spd manual.....how much does honda charge for tranny fluid change? I only want honda to do it!!!!!!!!!How much for Manual transmission fluid change?
bout .5 hrs, price depend on labor rate.....looking around $50 plus fluidHow much for Manual transmission fluid change?
Most of the quick lube places charge about $75 to do a trans axle fluid flush and changeHow much for Manual transmission fluid change?
firestone charges .8 of a hour at $89 so about $75 sounds right to me. or you could just crawl under there pop the drain plus on ur trans and fill her up urself its not rocket science on 5spds
1 pull e-brake and chalk rear wheels jack up veh supporting it securely
2 confirm you have a trans dip stick if so continue to step 3
3 crawl under veh locate transmission drain plug.
4 remove trasmission drain plug until all fluid has exited
5 replace trans drain plug.
6 carefully lower veh to level sitting pistion
7 remove trans dipstick and with a funnel carefully add dealer recommended fluid type and amount
8 start veh allow to warm up to operating temp and check fluid level add accordingly if necessary
9 turn trans dipstick to proper location and drive fast and take chancesHow much for Manual transmission fluid change?
It can range from $70-$100. I would change it yourself. It's usually cheaper and that way you'll know your car is getting the right fluid. If don't do it yourself then just stick with Honda, you never know what other small shops may use as fluid and those Honda transmissions are a bit different.
Honda MTF is a great choice especially for a daily. If you drive the car a bit hard then I suggest you check out Royal Purple Synchromax or Pennzoil Synchromesh fluids. Also, the manual transmission does not have a dipstick and the filler bolt is located on the passenger side of the transmission, it's a 17mm. Only fill until fluid starts coming out.

2002 Subaru Impreza WRX - How often to change the transmission fluid?
The owners manual says to inspect it at 30,000 %26amp; 90,000 miles but not to replace it. How can I tell if the fluid needs to be changed?2002 Subaru Impreza WRX - How often to change the transmission fluid?
I replaced my trans and rear differential with synthetic at 30k miles. My advice: change it. Spend a few bucks for the peace of mind.2002 Subaru Impreza WRX - How often to change the transmission fluid?
The differential oil on the rear wheel should replace roughly when you replace the timing belt.
For the clutch/transmission fluid, change it around 90k. However, it will depend how normal you drive the car or abusively driving (daily driving = normal; racing each other or drive fast = abusively).
Also, you can take out the dip stick of the transmission fluid, if it is still red-ish brown, you should be okay, if you have dark brown (like soy sauce, for example) you may need it to have it change.
BTW, make sure you bring it to the dealership to replace it....I found out that some no-experience mechanics will drain and fill which cause future problems....The dealership has a machine to maintain the existing fluid while adding the new fluid in....2002 Subaru Impreza WRX - How often to change the transmission fluid?
First thing I would ask is if you are the first owner of this car? If not change it. Both tranny and rear diff are not very expensive to do and you never know how the last owner drove the car. If you are the only owner, do you drive int he snow much? If so, the rear diff should be done sooner than later. Like Pauly said, just do it and you don't have to worry about it for a while.2002 Subaru Impreza WRX - How often to change the transmission fluid?
replace with royal purple max gear sae 75w-90. expensive but worth every penny. increase horse power through drive train, maximum gear life, exceeds gl-4 and gl-5 performance requirements, shock load protection, cooler gear box temperatures, and helps save gas. you need six quarts and it will be about $90 at auto zone.

How much should it cost to change the transmission fluid in a 2000 Toyota 4-Runner? How about the Fuel Injecti
Our 2000 Toyota 4-Runner needs the 120,000 mile service. The Toyota dealership is trying to charge like $500. I'm trying to figure out the cost of the different services and decide which ones I actually need to do.How much should it cost to change the transmission fluid in a 2000 Toyota 4-Runner? How about the Fuel Injecti
I perform fuel injection cleanings and transmission fluid and filter changes on a regular basis. Although I think $500 is way too high, I also think some of the prices being provided to have both professionally done are unrealistic. If you are going to have the transmission service done, do it right and clean out the pan, the magnet and replace the filter. I have seen chunks and globs of sand-like goop come out of pans and filters. Also you get what you pay for with fuel injection cleaning. I have the rather expensive equipment to do the job right at the rail with a concentrated cleaner, under pressure and disabling the fuel injection system. I have performed these services on 4 Runners and they use Banjo bolts at the rails and few, if any, cheap setups will ever be able to attach to the rail.
My advice is get the transmission service done properly and wait on the fuel injection cleaning. $150-$200 is not unrealistic to the have the transmission service done properly. The actual labor time to do the complete transmission service is 2.8 hours because it is not as simple as some would have you believe. More importantly, make sure the correct ATF fluid is used if you go to an independent. Toyota has a specific fluid (Toyota Type T-IV) that should be used. There is also a TSB (TC001-02) about it. Most times there is a difference between having a job performed cheap or having it performed properly. I hope this helps.How much should it cost to change the transmission fluid in a 2000 Toyota 4-Runner? How about the Fuel Injecti

well a tranny flush should only be around 150 well it is where i work as for the fue injection its nothing to change all that happens is the mass air flow sensor gets cleaned throtle body gets cleaned and a can of cleaner that is safe for the injectors gets dumped in with your gas and it works up to 4 fill up on cleaning the injectors so the 500 is about right for everything the trainny flush and fill and the cleaning but if the 500 is just for the flush then would take i to someone elseHow much should it cost to change the transmission fluid in a 2000 Toyota 4-Runner?

if all it needs is transmission fluid changed, meaning draining it out(just like an oil change, remove bolts, then remove the transmission pan after you drain it, has about 10-20 bolts that need removed, replace the old gasket seal(clean the old seal off the pan, make sure rim of pan and where it attaches too the vehicle is clean and dry, clean the pan itself out with a solvent to get sediments out too). if you can do this, having the right gasket(need all the vehicle specs for auto parts store). its a matter of draining, cleaning old seal off, put new on and put the pan back on the vehicle. your done. call auto parts store for parts and prices, and also see if they can tell you the size of the transmission fluid bolt that you have remove to drain it with to get the right socket. have year, make model engine size, and auto or standard transmission info
on hand when you call. you may be looking at no more than 100.00 if that, if you can do this yourself.
pick up drain pan, to make sure of safe and easy clean up.
as far as a fuel injection needing cleaned its a matter of spraying cleaning from a can to clean them, you can also put fuel injector cleaner in your gas and SAVE money. they charge you rediculous amount to spray your injectors, this way is cheaper and does the same thing. good luck

How to change automatic transmission fluid in Toyota 4runner 1994?
the probleme is there are different opinions how to do this, and i don't know which of them are correct/?
please, mechanics, HELP!How to change automatic transmission fluid in Toyota 4runner 1994?
If you want to change about a third of the trans fluid.. go ahead and just pull the drain plug on the trans pan. but if you want to replace most of it... go to a shop that offers a flush. that should get most of the fluid out.How to change automatic transmission fluid in Toyota 4runner 1994?
run your car in all the gears to heat the fluid
%26gt;jack it up, most cars dont have a drain plug so carefully remove all the bolts leaving one side attached so the oil can drain.
%26gt;remove the filter/gasket/o ring that holds the filter
%26gt;replace the gasket/filter/place o ring on filter and push till snug so the filter stays attached to the tranny
%26gt;bolt up, add tranny fluid
%26gt;remove your oily clothes and driveHow to change automatic transmission fluid in Toyota 4runner 1994?
There is a drain plug on the trans oil pan, warm the trans up first an then just remove the plug just like a oil change.
You fill it through the trans tube, where the dip stick is.
Usually takes 3 Qts depends on how long you let it drain.
Make sure you get a new gasket for the drain plug.
Check the fluid level when in park and level, trans must be warm to get a proper reading.
Do not over fill it is just as bad as under filling.make a line invisible name of song

If I change my transmission fluid by replacing 3.5 quarts at a time, how long until all the fluid is new?
It holds 8 quarts total. With my car I can remove the transmission drain plug to drain 3.5 quarts easily. The torque converter holds lots of fluid though.If I change my transmission fluid by replacing 3.5 quarts at a time, how long until all the fluid is new?
Since everything mixes together again, the answer is theoreticlly never. However, allowing a little bit of old fluid, say 1%, then this is the calculation. Let QO(t) be the quarts of old fluid at time t and QN(t) the quarts of new fluid at time t, then QN(t) = 8 - QO(t)
Q(0) = 8, QN = 0
Q(1) = 8 - 3.5 =4.5, QN = 3.5
The next draining is not all old fluid and is expected to be made up of the same proportions as the entire supply 4.5:3.5
Q(2) = 4.5 - 3.5(4.5/8) = 2.53125, QN = 3.5 - 3.5(3.5/8) + 3.5 = 5.46875
Here is an Excel calculation, showing that it takes 12 refills. Of course all of this ignores the new fluid getting dirty!

Is is auto or manual. A manual trans is not too difficult, as long as you can get under the car to drain the trans and then have some way of putting new oil back in. Autos are much the same, but it is critical you have the fluid level exact for proper operation of the auto. If in doubt, seek out your nearest Ford dealer.

THANKSHow to change Transmission Fluid for VOLVO S80 by myself??? thanks?
If I remember correctly. Volvo uses a trans from Aisin-Warner. It requires it's VERY own fluid, from the Volvo dealer. You should call several Volvo dealerships and ask if they are running a trans fluid and filter change service SPECIAL. Many times, they do. THis is the most practical way to be sure that you are doing right for your car. Most European car-makers and Asian car-maker have their very own trans fluid tyoes. E.g., there is Dexron-T, for Toyota; Dexron-H for Honda, etc.Many European cars feature trans fluid that is like synthetic mineral oil instead of petroleum based. READ your manual in the SPECIFICTIONS list for the actual preferred type of fluid!! Many European based cars also have torque converters with drain plugs. This eases the job by making sure ALL the fluid actually is drained before refill!

I've had the car for two years and I don't know if the previous owners ever changed it. Does anyone know how to do this? Also, should I change the transmission filter?How to change transmission fluid?
Check the fluid level according to your owner's manual. You would need Rhino ramps and safety jack stands to do the job and it's VERY messy! At this point I'd recommend you bring it in for a $120 pan service drain as shown below.

$150 is a little steep, go to a local reputable tranny shop.How to change the Transmission Fluid On 03 Chevy Trail Blazer?
First off, how many miles? If you are doing routine maintenance by the book, meaning going by exact miles to do fluid change, then yes its worth doing the flush and fill. If you have gone over the desired mileage for fluid change,(10,000 or so) LEAVE IT ALONE, do not change the fluid. You will lose the tranny eventually. Dont even change the filter.

How often should I change my transmission fluid in a 2001 Honda Accord?
The mechanic says that when he drains it not all of it comes out and that it takes several times to dilute the new with the old? This seems fishy to me?How often should I change my transmission fluid in a 2001 Honda Accord?
Unfortunately, he is correct. If you have never changed it before, I would do it a couple of times at 5000 mile intervals, then every two years or 25,000 miles. NEVER let them flush the transmission, as this will stir up debris that will ruin an automatic transmission VERY quickly.How often should I change my transmission fluid in a 2001 Honda Accord?
The mechanic is correct. Not all of the ATF will drain out because most of it is in the torque converter. You will probably get less than one third of the ATF out with a drain. You can probably get more out with a hand pump-style fluid extractor. I recommend fluid drain and fills every 30,000 miles. You'll have a lot of old fluid in there, but that's ok, because some of it will be replaced regularly. Make sure to use the proper spec ATF for the fluid - if it says to use Honda ATF Z1 or whatever, find a suitable replacement fluid, because Honda transmissions require special fluids. I recommend drain and fills only, not flushes.How often should I change my transmission fluid in a 2001 Honda Accord?

Yes you have to use Hyundai fluid it was made for your transmission. If you try a different make of fluid it may damage your transmission.If you do it our self you will get all but 3-4 qts. that is in the power train. I found out the best way to do this the take the car to a deal/auto shop the have a unit that can change all the transmission fluid and the cost is about $75-$110.How I change my transmission fluid on a 2003 hyundai xg350L?
no you don't necessarily have to use a Hyundai fluid but you do have to use a recommended fluid for it,in the owners manual it tells what all can be used in it,always go by that,and you do have to drop the pan to do this also,its a very messy job too,unless you can get it high enough its going to be hard to do,i recommend most of the time that people don't try this at home,if you don't get the pan gasket back on right they will leak real bad,and then you will have problems from it,good luck on it,hope this helps.

How do i change the transmission fluid in a 99 chevy malibu?
How hard is this to actually do and will i need and any special tools?How do i change the transmission fluid in a 99 chevy malibu?
if you have to ask, chances are you shouldn't change it. if you know a mechanic in the neighborhood they might be willing to help you out.
(i assume you're wanting to do this for fun, rather than to save money?)
mostly it takes like a 1/2%26quot; wrench, just drop the drain pan on the bottom, replace the filter, scrape off the old seal, put on a new one.
add fluid, let it run for a while n' check for leaks.
if you want to do a complete flush you can buy trans fluid in gallon jugs, and pull both the lines off the cooler, and put hoses on them, put the intake hose into the new fluid, and the other one into a empty jug, then start the car and let it drink the new fluid, but remember to keep a very close eye on all this.How do i change the transmission fluid in a 99 chevy malibu?
you have to flush the transmission, in the long run it would be cheaper and faster to take it to a shop it will run you around 50$ and it will be done right.

How to check transmission fluid on a 2003 Blazer - problem??
I just had 1200$ of work done on my vehicle, including a tuneup. Now it is hesitating when accelerating, and slowing down. Otherwise its running beautifully now! Doesn't a tuneup include changing transmission fluid, and how do I check it myself? [car running or off, cold or warm, etc]. The weather has turned very cold, and the Blazer seemed ok on the highway - possibly just cold, and is there transmission antifreeze I could add in to help?
Thanks for the tips and suggestionsHow to check transmission fluid on a 2003 Blazer - problem??
There is no %26quot;transmission antifreeze%26quot;, and you should only add the manufacturer's specified transmission fluid in my opinion (if needed). To check the level on a vehicle that has a transmission dipstick (dipstick handle usually red in color, which is the color of the transmission fluid itself when new), after a long drive with the engine and transmission good and hot, park the vehicle while idling the engine. Apply the parking brake and pull the dipstick out. Dry all oil from the dipstick with a paper towel and reinsert the dipstick. Remove the dipstick once again to verify that the fluid level is between the %26quot;fill%26quot; and %26quot;full%26quot; marks. Any where between fill and full is ok and it's very easy to overfill an automatic transmission because the level may appear to be low when it really isn't. So take several measurements to make sure it needs fluid if it reads low. You'll need a special transmission filler funnel from the auto store which has a very narrow fill neck. Finally, transmission service is scheduled typically every 30,000 miles by your manufacturer and you should definitely have it done to protect your power train warranty and the service life of your transmission (cost: $150 for a full flush)How to check transmission fluid on a 2003 Blazer - problem??

It's probably an engine performance problem rather than a transmission problem.
Changing the trans fluid is another item all in itself.
With the car running in PARK on a level surface pull the trans dipstick, wipe it off and reinsert it.
Pull a second time and read the level.
A brownish color is OK but smell the fluid a burning smell says it is time for a fluid/filter change. trust me the transmission gets around 260 degrees when running and the fluid is a petroleum product it won't freeze.
I would think 1200 bucks is a lot of work but that doesn't necessarily include tranny service.How to check transmission fluid on a 2003 Blazer - problem??
A tuneup does NOT include changing transmission fluid. Most manufacturers recommend that be done on a mileage basis and the mileage varies with the company. Most generally they say 25,000 to 50,000 miles. To check the fluid on an automatic transmission the engine should be at operating temperature, at idle with the transmission selector in park. Pull out the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it fully. Pull the dipstick out again and look at the markings to see if the fluid is within the operating range. Good fluid should be a light reddish color. If it is dark or brownish it is either very, very old or has been burned. Never put anything but the type of transmission fluid recommended for your car in the transmission. Antifreeze is not needed and is a big no-no as it will lead to the destruction of your transmission.Is it ok to put my quilt in the dryer sound with linux

If I change my transmission fluid by replacing 3.5 quarts at a time, how long until all the fluid is new?
It holds 8 quarts total. With my car I can remove the transmission drain plug to drain 3.5 quarts easily. The torque converter holds lots of fluid though.If I change my transmission fluid by replacing 3.5 quarts at a time, how long until all the fluid is new?
Theoretically it would never happen, but there is a way to get most of it changed. It involves changing the fluid in the pan, and once this is done, disconnect the fluid cooler line going to the radiator. Attach a piece of tubing to it and put the end in a suitable catch container. With the engine running and the transmission in drive, catch the fluid as it is pumped out of the transmission, and at the same time pour fluid into the transmission fill tube, until the fluid coming from the tube is clear and new looking. Read about the procedure at: http://www.allpar.com/eek/atf.html (About the center of the page) Don't forget any of the safety procedures. I used the procedure on a 1981 Ford F100 and it worked great. ...Good Luck..If I change my transmission fluid by replacing 3.5 quarts at a time, how long until all the fluid is new?
You'll never actually replace all the fluid this way. Imagine changing 1/3 of your oil at a time. There will always be some residual old fluid. Don't forget that most automatic transmissions also have a filter that needs replacing,too.If I change my transmission fluid by replacing 3.5 quarts at a time, how long until all the fluid is new?
it will never get new cause you'll be contaminating the new fluid with the old each time so if there's any particles there which is usually the case they're gonna stay there even if you drain the tranny the torque converter still has fluid in it son go to a shop and let them do a flush its the only way that fast and safe to change your transmission fluid

Hi everyone, I drive a 2002 nissan altima 2.5s auto. How often should I change my transmission fluid?
Which transmission fluid should I use for my car?
I will have somebody to do it for me.
I don't want to take it back to nissan because they charge too much.
Do you guys have any places recmmomened? (I live in Santa Monica/West LA).
thank you very muchHi everyone, I drive a 2002 nissan altima 2.5s auto. How often should I change my transmission fluid?
Check with a local dealership, they will tell you. If you drive it hard do it twice as often as the recommend. So. Cal heat is hell on these new auto transmissions. The air temp is lower that pavement temp. Oil is cheap, parts aren't. A good transmission shop will flush the whole system not just the oil pan. The pan only holds at best 1/4 of the oil the rest is in the lines and torque converter.Hi everyone, I drive a 2002 nissan altima 2.5s auto. How often should I change my transmission fluid?
If the fluid is very dirty (brownish), I recommend a transmission fluid flush and
treatment done first by a professional (cost about $150) then
just simply drain and fill (cost about $30-$50) once every
12months or 15k miles. This will maintain the unit with
clean red fluid extending the life of your transmission. Nissan
matic %26quot;d%26quot; is recommended but techron/mercon is also compatible.

How do I change the transmission fluid in my V70 R, 2004?
Do I have to pump into the transmission? or just refill it?How do I change the transmission fluid in my V70 R, 2004?
You didnt mention if its a manual or automatic trans. If its an automatic you can just drain and refill it sounds easy right ? Heres the ins and outs of it, first you MUST use special volvo synthetic trans. fluid available only at your dealership and it is very expensive, Use a 15/16's wrench to remove drain plug on bottom of trans. When its time to refill the trans. you fill it thourgh the dipstick tube wich is kinda hard to get to and your gonna need a very long skinny funnel. I highly recomend catching the drained fluid into something that you can measure, this way you add just that much of new fluid back, it is very easy to overfill as the synthetic fluid level fluctuates a great deal from hot to cold. If you just drain and fill this is gonna be anout 4 liters, this is a problem as the transmission actually holds about 12 liters of fluid so you cannot get it all out with a drain and fill You must do whats called a trans. flush wich I would leave up to your local dealership, its too much to get into here. If you have a manual trans. just leave it no need to service this, besides i once seen an independent shop remove what they thought was the fill plug, it was actually not and it caused something inside to fall apart. You have a bueatiful car, let the pro's do it right !How do I change the transmission fluid in my V70 R, 2004?
first have you dropped it ? I'm not familiar with the car you are talking about but if it has a drain plug then there should be a filler hole somewhere on the transmission.Now if that's the case then fill till fluid comes out the hole. some transmissions require you too unbolt the sump and drain it that way and if it has a dipstick that's where you fill it back up again down the dipstick pipe remember check transmission fluid when the engine is running
