  1. Drain A/T fluid. Refer to " «CHANGING THE A/T FLUID (ATF)»(ref-382157-S32672343682011011400000) ".
  2. Remove oil pan clips (1).
  3. Remove oil pan (2).
  4. Remove oil pan gasket. --> Vehicle front --> Oil pan bolts Drain plug (3)
  5. Check for foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, has some burned smell, or contains foreign particles then friction material (clutches, band) may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure. CAUTION: If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to " «A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING»(ref-382157-S38836394312011011400000) ".

Before installing oil pan bolts, remove any traces of old sealant from the sealing surfaces and threaded holes. Do not reuse old gasket, replace with a new one. Always replace the oil pan bolts as they are self-sealing. Partially install the oil pan bolts in a criss-cross pattern to prevent dislocation of the gasket.
  3. Install oil pan bolts and clips tighten in numerical order as shown in the figure. Oil pan bolts : 7.9 N.m (0.81 kg-m, 70 in-lb)
