Oil PanECS00CKW
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Drain A/T fluid, refer to MA-24, "Changing A/T Fluid" .
2. Remove oil pan and gasket.
3. Check 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, 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 AT- 1 3 , "
A/T FLUID
COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE" .
4. Remove magnets from oil pan.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.

INSTALLATION
Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the
following:

When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts as shown.
