How do you change transmission fluid on 2000 Chevy half ton?

Answer 1

get the car in the air- safely- and get under it.remove the tranny pan. (a bunch of bolts on a flattish-squarish pan).expect lots of fluid like a bowl of cereal full of milk, but with no cereal and red oil-ly milk.let it all drip out---- NOTE: invest in a tranny oil drain plug and install it while you have the pan off. It makes later tranny oil changes alot easier. like an oil change, drain plug type thing.---there will be a filter up in the tranny, I would replace this, too.then put a new gasket on, after prepping the surfaces, and re-bolt-up that tranny pan with your newly installed drain plug--- you can also add a flat strong magnet to the bottom of the pan to maybe collect any magnetic metal debris away from fragile tranny parts (inside the pan).---I think that is it.you refill up the transmission up in the engine compartment with this dime or nickel diameter filling tube with a dipstick indicator.
