• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the transmission drain plug and allow the fluid to drain completely into a pan.
  2. Inspect the old fluid for metal shavings or burnt odor.
  3. Replace with manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid (refer to the owner's manual for specific fluid type).
  4. Reinstall the drain plug and torque to manufacturer specifications.

3. Inspect Driveshaft and CV Joints

• Sub-steps:
  1. Raise the vehicle using jack stands and secure it.
  2. Visually inspect the driveshaft for dents or bends.
  3. Check CV joints for any cracks or tears in the rubber boot.
  4. Replace any damaged CV joint or driveshaft as necessary.

4. Check Transmission Mounts

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the transmission mounts and inspect for cracks or excessive wear.
  2. If damaged, remove the old mounts and replace them with new ones.
  3. Torque the new mounts per specifications.

5. Inspect the Differential
