  Q: How to Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Chevrolet Corvette?

  A:

  To replace the automatic transmission fluid and filter, first gather the necessary tools: j36850 transmission assembling lubricant (Transjel). Putting a drain pan under the transmission after lifting and supporting the vehicle is the first step. Start by cleaning the area near the transmission check/fill plug prior to plug removal to enable fluid drainage. Support the transmission Oil Pan before you remove its bolts while leaving the fluid check/fill plug loosely installed. Use a rubber mallet to gently strike the Oil Pan until it loosens then extract the pan while draining residual fluid. After marking the filter's installation position record write down the order of steps to install it correctly by first tightening the filter with force then removing the filter seal possibly using pliers in case the seal is stuck. Check for damage and inspect the transmission fluid alongside the filter for any signs of wear. Replace the old seal before making your inspection. All surfaces where the gasket lies must undergo a complete cleaning process to eliminate old materials. The new filter seal warrants j36850 coating or equivalent treatment before installing it within the transmission case using socket tapping to set it in place. The new Oil Filter should be positioned in the same location where the old filter was and the Oil Pan bolts should be checked for correct orientation before reusing bolts if the reversal is not required or acquiring new bolts if the inversion is necessary. Use j36850 or equivalent sealant on the new Oil Pan gasket before setting the Oil Pan into position and tightening bolts to 11 nm (97 inch lbs.) using an alternating pattern. Replace the transmission fluid check/fill plug by filling it with dexron iii automatic transmission fluid until the fluid flows out and secure the plug using your hands only. Complete the filling to the proper level and tighten the check/fill plug to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.)the last task involves checking the Oil Pan gasket for any signs of leakage.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid on Chevrolet Corvette?

  A:

  Service repair of automatic transmission fluid and filter requires transmission assembling lubricant (Transjel(tm)) (J 36850) as one of the required tools. The first step should involve raising the vehicle through support methods while you position a drain pan underneath the transmission. Before removing the transmission check/fill plug you should clean its surrounding area to facilitate fluid drainage. Secure the transmission Oil Pan and detach the pan bolts while reinstalling the fluid check/fill plug in a loose manner. Grasp the Oil Pan and use a rubber mallet to slowly hit it until it becomes loose while simultaneously draining fluid before removing the pan. To uninstall the filter first write down its original position for future reinstallation and firmly grip it before rotating it for removal which requires pliers if the filter seal is difficult to remove. Before moving on discard the old seal while checking the transmission fluid and filter for damage and wear. Before application use a proper solution to clean both gasket surfaces free of old material remains. The installer should apply transmission assembling lubricant (J 36850) to the new filter seal before using a socket to install it into place. Users should install the new Oil Filter while inspecting all Oil Pan bolts for correct alignment by keeping conical washers when undamaged or purchasing new bolts in cases where washers need to be flipped. The new Oil Pan Gasket requires installation onto the Oil Pan followed by placement of the pan on the transmission case then bolt installation using an alternating torque of 11 nm (97 inch lbs.). Filling the transmission requires you to remove its check/fill plug before adding dexron iii automatic transmission fluid which will flow from the opening before reinstalling the plug by hand. Finish the transfer by reaching the correct fluid level. To complete the procedure you should fasten the check/fill plug to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) while inspecting the Oil Pan Gasket for any sign of leakage.
