How do you service your 1999 Isuzu Amigo transmission?

Answer 1

The Automatic transmission is just like any other automatic, but without a dipstick. Its a General Motors 4L30E. To check the level and condition of your fluid is dificult due to the fact that you need to have a drive on or 4-point lift. First drive the vehicle till temp gauge is at norm temp. 2. lift vehicle. 3. locate fill and drain plugs on transmission pan. 4. open fill plugg.fill plugg is higher on the pan in relation to the drain plugg. also the drain fill pluggs need a 21mm wrench to loosen so they are kinda easy to find, they are near the rear of the transmissioin. carefull, hot fluid may come out and burn you. 5. if there is fluid that pours out it means that the transmission was over-filled. if there is fluid when you insert you finger in the hole then the level is ok. if fluid is not felt to within 1/4 inch if hole then transmission is low. Fluid color and smell tell a lot about the condition.
