We are going to have to set it all the way down in order to clear the sump filter that's in here, and we'll lay it into our drain bucket, and finish pouring it out. This does still have a little bit of weight to it. Be prepared, because there is still some transmission fluid in there. You are going to want to support the bottom of the pan with your other hand while you remove the last bolt this way it doesn't fall out. Now that our pan is hanging pretty much all the way down, we'll finish removing the hardware. We'll repeat this process as necessary until the pan has finished draining. Once your pan has started draining, loosen the rear screws some more to allow it to hang further and drain more fluid. Remove all the forward most bolts on the pan. We are going to use an eight-millimeter socket ratchet and extension. We'll remove those entirely, and then slowly loosen the rear most bolts to make the front of the pan hang down and drain the fluid. We are going to be removing the eight millimeter bolts from this side, forward, around the front, and to about the same spot on the opposite side. Raise and support your vehicle, and place the drain bucket under the front half of the transmission pan. You are going to want to use your best judgment, and if you are not sure, don't touch the transmission or any of its fluids. Mildly dark or discolored fluid with just a little bit of grit is acceptable. This can cause the transmission to slip and fail completely. Removing this fluid can cause you to remove what friction remains inside of that fluid. If the fluid has any kind of muskiness, brown, or black discoloration, or if you actually put it on your fingers and feel a gritty type of feeling or smell burnt fluid, that's an indication that the clutch material is failing in your transmission. What we are looking for here is a nice, clean, red and clear fluid. Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 8mm socket, ratchet, socket extension, T25 Torx bit, drain pan, razor blade or scraper, rags or paper towels, brake cleaner, gasket maker, gloves, safety glasses, transmission fluid, transmission fluid funnel, torque wrench, jack and jack stands Before performing any type of transmission service, maintenance, or repair, you'll have to check the condition of your automatic transmission fluid.
