How do you change transmission fluid on 2007 hhr?

Answer 1

With the 07 HHR on level jacks, front and back drain the fluid first by the small 11mm plug on the passenger front side on Transmission about 3 inches up from pan bottom. Then loosing the pan at one end and slowly let it drain. Take and clean pan or buy a new pan with a drain bolt. After removing old filter install the new one, they just pull out and push back in place. Install new pan with old gasket as there designed to be reused if no damage was done to it on removal or install a new one. Torque bolt to recommended torque 85 inch lbs or 7 foot lbs. Start with the center bolts and work toward the end bolts going back and forth on pan. To refill with proper fluid fill using a small hand pump and a small sized tubing fill thru the small hole on side of tx until fluid come out, start engine and go thru all gears a few times waiting 5 sec or so between shifts. Then return to plug and fill until fluid comes out again with the engine running, replace plug and your done. Take approx 6.9 Quarts.
