• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and seal on 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt?

  A: The replacement of the automatic transmission fluid filter and seal requires proper vehicle support through jack stands placed at the opposite end of component removal while also strapping it to safety equipment. Set a drain pan beneath the transaxle Oil Pan followed by safe removal of front and side bolts from the pan after making the rear bolts loose by 4 turns. A rubber mallet used for tapping the Oil Pan allows the pan to drain fluid while you verify the fluid color. To proceed remove the Oil Pan bolts followed by removing the pan from the vehicle and then extract the Oil Pan Gasket and Oil Filter through the use of a long screwdriver to detach the filter neck from its seal. Check the Oil Filter seal for damage. If required, remove the seal with the j 6125-1b (Slide Hammer) and j 23129 (Axle Boot Remover). Apply j 36850 (petroleum jelly as alternative) to a new oil seal before insertion and install a fresh filter onto the case. The installation requires new gaskets when sealing ribs are damaged alongside Oil Pan drying and cleaning and any damaged Oil Pan must be examined for replacement before reinstalling the Oil Pan. The technician needs to lower the vehicle and then fill the transaxle to its appropriate fluid level after tightening Oil Pan bolts at 10 nm (89 lb in). As the last step examine the pan for fluid leaks and verify the transmission fluid amount.
