Fluid Pan: Service and Repair
Oil Pan
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Drain A/T fluid.
2. Remove oil pan and gasket.
3. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, has some burned smell, or contains foreign
particles, friction material (clutches, band) may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can
cause valves, servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
CAUTION: If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE.
4. Remove magnets from oil pan.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.
2. Install the oil pan and new oil pan gasket.
CAUTION:
