![]() ![]() You can refer to the picture and see I was able to lightly scrape the gasket off the "step" but not around it. Pan had a tiny "step" to guide you where to lay the bead. cleaning the gasket off the tranny case was straightforward and easy because it had a flat surface. Follow the instruction for the RTV and put the pan back on. Proceed with extreme caution if you use a razor blade because a small nick CAN prevent a perfect seal and cause leak. I used a razor blade, a boat load of brake cleaner, and a rag to get the gasket off. Thoroughly clean all the gasket off the mating surface. Be careful as there will be fluid trapped in the strainer. After the pan was off, I removed the two 10MM bolts holding the strainer in place. The bonding strength of OEM gasket was very strong and it took me a while to remove it. The pan was held on by a number of 10MM bolts. Please note I drained a total of 6qt after removing the filter.ģ) Mazda Silicone Gasket (TB1217E) or equivalent RTV Gasket Makerĥ) New bolts for the pan (I was unable to find replacement and reuse the bolts) ![]() Drain & fill you can refer to the first post. This is part 2 where I did another drain & fill along with filter change. BE CAREFUL NOT TO KNOCK ANY DUST OR DEBRIS into the transmission fill hole.ĥ) Use 8MM hex bit to remove drain plug and replace washerĦ) Let the fluid cool down to retract and measureħ) Use a loooong funnel to replenish the same amount that was drained out The dry o-ring on the dipstick was stubborn, so I twisted the dipstick back and forth and used a tiny bit of force to pull it out. Tape the intake hose shut to prevent dust from entering.Ĥ) Locate the fill hole, and remove a 10MM bolt holding down the plastic dipstick You should have enough space to rotate the unit away. With the fully extended spout + the long funnel combo, the top of the funnel was at the level of the framerail.ġ) Unscrew hose clamp (see attached picture) and decouple the intake hose from air boxĢ) Remove 2 10MM bolt that hold the snorkelģ) Pull the entire airbox/snorkel unit upward To get an idea of how long, you can refer to my picture. The fill plug sits VERY VERY low so you have two options to fill:Ī) To avoid removing the airbox, you can go under the car and use a fluid pumpī) Remove the airbox and get a loooooooooooong funnel. Please do take into account that fluid will expand with heat.īefore you start, you can consider the following: Total capacity should be 8.5qt and I drained 5qt. I warm the vehicle to operating temperature to get the fluid circulated before draining for 2hr. ![]()
