• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts.

2. Check and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Tools Required: Transmission fluid pump, funnel, new transmission fluid (check specifications).
• Start by removing the transmission dipstick and checking the fluid level. If low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid.
• If the fluid is old or contaminated, drain the fluid using a fluid pump, and remove the transmission pan.
• Replace the old fluid with new fluid, ensuring the correct type is used as per manufacturer specifications.

3. Inspect and Replace Transmission Filter

• Tools Required: Socket set, gasket scraper, new transmission filter, gasket.
• Remove the transmission pan, carefully scraping off the old gasket material from both the pan and the transmission.
• Remove the old transmission filter and install the new filter, ensuring it is seated properly.
• Reinstall the transmission pan with a new gasket, tightening bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque.

4. Test and Replace Transmission Solenoids (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Multimeter, socket set.
• Locate the transmission solenoids and disconnect the electrical connectors.
• Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the solenoids; replace any that are outside of manufacturer specifications.
• Reconnect the solenoids and ensure all electrical connections are secure.
