Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the overflow plug and gasket from the automatic transmission assembly and drain the automatic transmission fluid.
| *1 | Transmission Oil Pan Tube |
| *a | Overflow Plug Hole |
| *b | 5 mm Hexagon Socket Wrench |
Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the transmission oil pan tube from the automatic transmission assembly and drain the automatic transmission fluid.
Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the transmission oil pan tube to the automatic transmission assembly.
Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, temporarily install the gasket and overflow plug to the automatic transmission assembly.
REMOVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL PAN SUB-ASSEMBLY
Remove the 11 bolts, automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly and automatic transmission oil pan gasket.
Note
Some fluid will remain in the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly. Remove all the pan bolts, and carefully remove the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly.
Remove the 4 transmission oil cleaner magnets from the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly.
Examine the particles in the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly.
Collect any steel chips with the removed transmission oil cleaner magnets. Carefully look at the foreign objects and particles in the automatic transmission oil pan sub-assembly and on the transmission oil cleaner magnets to guess the type of wear which might be found in the transmission.
Result:
Steel (magnetic): bearing, gear and clutch plate wear
Brass (non-magnetic): bush wear
