2. Before starting work, purchase the appropriate transmission fluid for the automatic transmission (see _ «Recommended operating fluids and smears» at the end of this chapter), as well as a new filter and casing pan gasket.
3. To perform the procedure, you will also need a jack, supports on which the car is installed after jacking, a drain container that can hold at least 4.5 liters, as well as rags and old newspapers to absorb oil.
4. Raise the car with a jack and install special supports.
5. Place a container under the casing tray. If there is a drain plug, unscrew it. After the fluid has completely drained, install and tighten the plug securely.
27.5. If there is a drain plug, unscrew it and drain the oil into a container
6. If a drain plug is not provided, it is necessary to unscrew all but one of the bolts located in the corners, then slowly unscrew the front bolts of the casing pan and drain the oil into a container.
7. To open access to the bolts of the casing pan, it is necessary to remove the shift rod, which is located on the driver's side (see illustration).
27.7. Disconnect the selector cable end from the ball stud (A), then unscrew the two bolts that secure the cable bracket to the box casing (IN) (this will provide access to the transmission pan bolts)
8. Unscrew the mounting bolts, then carefully pry with a screwdriver and disconnect the pan from the gearbox housing.
Warning: Even after draining completely, the pan will still contain some transmission oil.
9. Carefully clean the housing mating surface, completely removing any remaining old gasket and sealant.
10. Clean the tray with solvent and dry it. It is preferable to blow off the pan with compressed air.
Note: on some models there is a magnet on the box tray that must be thoroughly cleaned. It is acceptable to have a small volume of metal particles on the magnet. If the magnet is heavily coated with particles, have the transmission thoroughly inspected by a manufacturer or other dealer.
11. Remove the filter located on the valve block housing inside the transmission housing (see illustration).
27.11. Pull vertically down and remove the transmission filter
Note: Be careful not to damage the soft aluminum mating surface of the valve block body.
12.Install a new gasket and filter. Many replacement filters have a gasket attached, making installation easier (see illustration).
27.12. Using a pull-out tool, remove the transmission filter seal located on the valve block body and replace the seal. Avoid damaging the aluminum housing
13. Make sure the mating surface of the pallet is clean and install a new gasket on it (see illustration). Place the pallet on the box casing and install all the bolts. Moving around the perimeter of the pallet, tighten all the bolts to the required torque in several steps.
27.13. Clean the box tray, install the magnet and a new gasket
14. Install the items removed to provide access to the bolts.
15. Lower the vehicle onto a supporting surface and fill in about 4 liters of the appropriate type of oil through the gearbox filler tube (see subsection 7).
16. Place the selector lever in the Park position and apply the parking brake. Start the engine at high idle speed without increasing the engine speed.
17. Move the selector lever to all positions one by one, starting and ending in the Park position, then keep the engine idling for several minutes. Check the fluid level. It will probably be low. Add oil until the level rises to the appropriate dipstick mark. Do not allow the box to overfill with transmission oil.
18. After making your first trips, look under the car to make sure there is no automatic transmission oil leakage. It is also necessary to check the oil level in the heated box (see subsection 7).
