• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and seal on 2009 Chevrolet HHR?

  A: The procedure to replace the automatic transmission fluid filter and seal requires a secure position of the vehicle using jack stands placed opposite their removal point and strapping the vehicle to a hoist for accident prevention. Position a drain pan beneath the transaxle Oil Pan before the cautious removal of front-side bolts from the Oil Pan followed by a gentle loosening of the rear bolts by 4 turns. Use a rubber mallet to strike the Oil Pan gently and drain transmission fluid until inspection of the fluid color is possible. After removing all remaining bolts from the Oil Pan the technician can detach the Oil Pan together with its gasket. Use a long screwdriver to extract the oil filter neck off its seal before inspecting the filter seal for damages. In case the seal needs replacement, use the j 6125-1b (Slide Hammer) and j 23129 (Axle Boot Remover). To apply the new seal use petroleum jelly (J 36850) or similar lubricant before positioning it and then add another fresh filter plus the Oil Pan gasket to the transaxle case. Replace both parts even if the sealing ribs have any damage. Clean up the Oil Pan while examining it for damage then switch it out if necessary before hooking the components into place and tightening them to 10 nm (89 lb in). After lowering the vehicle and reaching the correct transaxle fluid level check for leaks on the pan while you reverify the transmission fluid measurement.
