How to Change Transmission Fluid : Removing Transmission Drain Pan

[onenikkione]

that trans fluid looks like it went over 100,000 miles. did the trans start slipping with the new fluid?

[atje43]

Thanks - very helpful :))))

[trulymeparker]

Im lucky my nissan pathfinder has a drain plug and a bit more clearance underneath!

[123gwf]

The more I learn about cars, the more I realize that this stuff is not complicated. And I'm not a smart guy, either, believe me.

[dloreanwiz]

Wow that fluid was toast.

[opsvideo2008]

Hi Nate, as usual, thanks always for your videos. Not sure what car you are working on in this video but the design is very poor. Japanese cars have a drain plug in the transmission oil pan to remove transmission oil just as they have for engine oil. You need to be extremely careful when working with engine and transmission oil as they are poisonous and can seep through human skin. I wear disposal rubber gloves over my cotton gloves when I work with engine & transmission oils. Best wishes.

[speck444]

nice that they put a drain plug in what is the matter with these designs ancient i like your vids very much you got a lot of courage working on some of this stuff

[fastvpbt1]

never seen black fluid before from an auto before you sure it wasnt the oil pan removed????

[3131561]

@IannottiBrothers

Thats not always true, our Jeep had dirty transmission fluid and it wouldnt shift into 2nd gear anymore. So we had it flushed as there was no other option and its been running fine since. It has 100k more miles on it since that day, closing 200k

[MrOombop]

Could you please show me how to change Trans oil and f ilter on 03 Chevy Avalanch. Please!

[MrChevy815]

yes i have my sec tran in my chevy cavalier could you do one on that too!

[2brello]

Gloves man, gloves! :)

Anyway, nice tutorial!

[jsnyara]

that sucks that theres no drain plug, what a pain in the ass to have to remove the whole pan itself. i would tap and drill and make my own in that pan.

[steelraptor]

God good that's some nasty oil, that poor transmission....

[kosmosleha]

Maan, I would probably spill that oil all over my face :) Next morning at work they would ask me, "What the hell have you being doin?"

[lilbeezy4utoo]

its gay my 96 vw doesn't even have a dipstick the tranny is sealed in.

[luckyabe20]

would a mazda 3 be any differnt for changing the transmission fluid? i need to change my mazda 3 trans fluid also but cant find no vids for mazda 3 2007.

[shakespir23]

queer

[ShmeegleSon]

@shakespir23 fag

[rtabish]

transmission fluid, like most automotive fluids, is petroleum based, and pretty toxic stuff. you should be wearing a pair of easily obtainable rubber gloves for this procedure, which always gets some fluid on your hands, one way or another.

[totalybitchn]

@rtabish yooooooo everybody rtabish is a fucken queer that wears gloves ajajaj what a bitch

[insightdeluxe2]

this woul've been easier to follow if you numbered each step/video!

[keithahfua]

thankz man! that the color of my trans. oil!....

[bigmacx345]

In this step.

[humarijan]

thanks

[chevyman10001]

changing Transmission Fluid is a messy job! I had to do it with my 1993 Chevrolet s-10 blazer.

[david0487]

wtf where is the drain plug in that pan ...no PLUG?

[coldcash12345]

I hope he fixed his tranny, that was horrible looking fluid. Looked burnt to hell

[notoriousleb]

@dietolivefree  Yup 100% right, your just mixing some new with old fluid which is useless, gota find the supply hose i belive and temporaily disconnect it and have it over a pan and start the engine, keep topping the fluid up until its a nice red sparkly color then your done, you ACTUALLY flushed your fluid.

[ShinGakuma]

100% right, and the supply hose will squirt tranny fluid. so what u do is u make urself a custom hose (same size preferred), and stick it where the supply hose connector where the rest of the tranny fluid will come out of.

[notoriousleb]

@ShinGakuma Yup because just changing the fluid is a waste, like only changing half your engines oil, leaving half dirty and half new.. its a waste.

[ShinGakuma]

and that would defeat the purpose of even changing it

[notoriousleb]

@ShinGakuma yeah and it only takes a little more time to flush it out..

[WaltGe]

I don't want to be branded a moron, but if it were me changing the fluid at home, I would try a siphon pump to suck out the fluid through the fill pipe/dipstick tube. Obviously before you try and pull the pan off. You can get this pump for $10 at any good auto parts or variety store and it will save you a lot of mess trying to bottle up the old fluid for recycling. You can't do this on vehicles with a seal transmission though.

[Zee96969696]

whit is this you talking about? have you done it? i thought that what you talking about didn't work

[dietolivefree]

this should be re-renamed as how to change only part of your transmission fluid. In an automatic transmission you will never get all the trans fluid out of the trans by just draining the pan, 2/3 of the transmission fluid will still be in your torque converter and inside the transmission.  The only way to get all the transmission fluid out is to flush the system with a machine. A new and empty automatic transmission may hold up to 15 quarts of oil or more.

[ShinGakuma]

yea if im not mistaken, the supply hose and return hoses. No need to use a machine man. If you know what you are doing, it can be done with 1 job :). I bet u know this but...NEVER let the transmission run dry or it will damage the transmission.

[TKOxPITCHBlAk]

You really cant go slow and easy if your a Flat Rate Tech. If your slow and easy, you make no money or not that much money.

[AngeL0fHeLL99]

This video makes a techs job look dirty and girmy. It doesnt have to be. Wear gloves ALWAYS! protect yourself from infection ( Tetanus, etc...), and wipe up each spill that occurs on the car and off of it. Go slow and easy.

[m398911]

Thanks. I am A backyard machanic.I Want To change my tranny fluid..But was not sure how to go about removing the pan because it is full off tranny fluid.Your vids are VERY helpful.Dont listen to the morons whith negative comments..Thanks Again

[AfghanKnight007]

Hi. Is transmistion and engine oil the same thing but different names?

[ragnotgizmo]

no its different.... transmission fluid should be pink in color when clean or in good health

[jdshaq]

boring

[joshua1auhsoj]

these videos are very helpful.

[kangafizzle]

Moments later after this video was filmed this man was taken out behind the shop and was shot in the head. He did not realize that the lady that owned the car he F' D up had a husband that was connected in the mafia.

[traumahawk517]

ok your so smart? then how do you drain a transmission if it has no drain plug?? and most cars don't have one..then what would you do HUH?????

[ShinGakuma]

Well you gotta take all the Bolts off from the perimeter of the transmission pan ^^. Should be 3 - 5 Bolts...never seen more than that.

[ks4sy100]

I hope they pay you good for this video cause your a idiot

[V8BeaterEater]

i agree nobody makes a mess like this unless they dont know what the hell they're doing....this guy is a wanna be machanic...and if he knows all this why is he on youtube and not working in a garage somewhere!!! what a moron!!!

[henloy]

how often should i change my trans. fluid?

[jayguy173]

every 30000

[NickWilliam89]

Actually, you should change it every 100,000 depending oh how steep of hills you drive through.

[themunkeymachine]

Most cars have sensors that will let you know when to change it...check your manual. More times than none, the manual will say something like, "Check the condition of the fluid and replace IF NECESSARY"...you could get away with changing the fluid every 40,000 - 65,000 miles...it will never harm your car to change the fluid more often but you're just spending more money.

[thienanh]

about every 20,000-30,000

[1313EbutUoy]

@henloy My car service manual says every 100k miles/175k kilometers.
