Is the drain bolt accessed through the grill on the bottom of the
transmission?
What size bolt is it? Thanks for any info. Lawrence Rhodes....
2 methods :
1. large socket to turn the front huge bolt at the front crank pully
and if you just rotate the fan blades out of the way - nothing needs
to be removed to crank from below using a breaker bar
2. with a big, broad flat blade screw driver - GENTLY!!
pry againist the bottom of the torque converter housing
slot openings against the T-Q. Mark with a dot of paint so you can tell if
you may have passed the plug by rotating too quickly.
be prepared to have splashing while the ATF is draining !
lay a huge sheet of cardboard down to protect the ground and save clean-up-
and have a pan with atleast 10qt. capacity also.
Always replace the metal crush ring before replacing the drain screw.
when it's time to refill - start with just 2-3 quarts with the motor off.
START the motor and continue to all 1/2 qt at a time and you should filter
the fluid into the dipstick tube - correct method-
so just be damm sure no dirt enters. Dinner Table Clean funnel only !! DO
NOT OVER FILL - bring up to lower mark only. THEN road test for 5 miles and
re-check on level ground at idle. only top up to upper stick mark with a
fully warmed up - hot oil condition. When cold - the oil level my be below
the lower mark - or just at the lower mark depending on your model.
