7 Speed Auto Trans Fluid Change

jchammond · 04-08-2015, 12:07 PM

ok-completed transmission service...didn't mention to remove overfill plug first(in previous post) but i had mine already loose because i ck'd the fluid level with the car straight to see where it was before i started.....and it was about 1 pt. low.
When i drained trans while on ramps-5 1/2 qts. came out...good deal..so 5 1/2 went back in before 2nd drive.
parked the car level-so that i could acess both plugs and let cool.

Drained fluid a third time & about 3 1/2 qts. came out and fluid was looking good.
filled with 3 1/2 qts. & started engine...shift trans. through different gears & went underneath.
pan was still cool,so i knew fluid would ck. low.......allowed fluid to warm some & remove overfill & let excess come out till started to drip & installed & torqued plug.
trans temp was about 105*
car drives great & ended up putting in a pint more fluid than what came out.
will ck again at next oil change-but feels great/no problems with other fluid-just 50k miles on it & it looked like coffee.
