There may not be a drain plug for the transmission. In that case, you will have to 'drop' the whole pan. You may want to do one corner first, to let it drain a bit and then bring the whole pan down. Don't forget to use or make a new gasket when replacing the transmission pan.
You have to remove the pan to drain the fluid.
There is a drain plug on the bottom of the transmission. To fill it, there is a plug toward the top of the transmission case where U have to pump the new fluid in till it starts to drain out.. There is no fill or trans. dipstick in top.
A 2000 Chevrolet Lumina has a modulator valve located on the side of the transmission. It is designed to control pressure inside the transmission and adjust shifting.
I believe that your 2006 is similar to my 2000 and 1996 models. When you drain the fluid via the drain plug on the driver's side of the transmission, refill is about 4 quarts. This is not the same as the total capacity of the transmission because you cannot drain the torque converter this way. Changing the fluid every year is the best way to extend the life of your transmission.
all you do is drain the fluid from the transmission and replace with dexron III fluid. you can only get out a couple of quarts. the filter is a lifetime metal filter unlike domestic autos.
My transmission guy informed me that Nissan Pathfinders do not have a drain plug, that they are a self-contained unit. If you are leaking fluid, your seals need to be replaced
On a drain and refill about 3 quarts, if the transmissions completely empty of fluid 6.3 quarts.
There is a hole where the fluid is running out at the bottom of the car. Can this part be replaced easily?
You'll have to pull the transmission pan, and drain the fluid. This is a messy job. I recommend having it done at the shop if you can.
Did you use genuine Honda ATF DW-1 transmission fluid. If not then that is the problem. Drain the fluid and use the correct fluid.
Sorry, I do not know. You just pull a drain plug to drain the transmission. To flush the transmission, he needs to drain the transmission, remove a cooler line, run the engine while filling the transmission so the torque converter can discharge any contaminated fluid. Your fluid must have shown sign of overheating for him to suggest that. Good/smart mechanic. Need more like him.
Under the car, remove the bolt to transmission fluid container, and allow it to drain. Replace the bolt and add in a few quarts of transmission fluid, start the car and allow it to warm, check the fluid level and add more if needed.
