Here are the steps on how to change the filter on a 10 speed automatic transmission:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Allow the transmission to cool down.
3. Locate the transmission pan. The transmission pan is usually located on the bottom of the transmission. It is typically made of metal and has a drain plug.
4. Place a drain pan under the transmission pan.
5. Remove the drain plug from the transmission pan. Allow the transmission fluid to drain into the drain pan.
6. Once the transmission fluid has drained, remove the transmission pan bolts. Be careful not to drop the bolts into the transmission.
7. Carefully pry off the transmission pan. Be careful not to damage the transmission gasket.
8. Locate the transmission filter. The transmission filter is usually located in the bottom of the transmission pan. It is usually held in place by a few screws or bolts.
9. Remove the screws or bolts that hold the transmission filter in place.
10. Carefully remove the transmission filter. Be careful not to damage the transmission filter or the transmission housing.
11. Inspect the transmission filter for damage. If the transmission filter is damaged, it must be replaced.
12. Install a new transmission filter.
13. Tighten the screws or bolts that hold the transmission filter in place.
14. Clean the transmission pan gasket.
15. Reinstall the transmission pan.
16. Tighten the transmission pan bolts.
17. Refill the transmission with fluid.
18. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes.
19. Check the transmission fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
Changing the transmission filter is a relatively simple task that can be completed in about 30 minutes. However, it is important to note that the transmission fluid must be drained and replaced when changing the transmission filter. If you are not comfortable changing the transmission fluid, you should have it done by a qualified mechanic.
