  1. Loosen oil pan bolts, tap pan to break it loose and allow fluid to drain. Remove pan. Install new filter on bottom of valve body and tighten retaining screws. Install new "O" ring on fluid pick-up pipe (if needed). Clean oil pan and install new gasket.
  2. Refill transmission with fluid. Start engine and allow to run at curb idle for a few minutes. With vehicle on level surface, engine idling and parking brake applied, move selector lever through all gear ranges, engine in "N" ("P" for AW-4 transmission). Add fluid to "ADD ONE PINT" mark on dipstick.
  3. Recheck fluid level when transmission normal operating temperature. Fluid should be between "ADD ONE PINT" and "FULL" marks on dipstick. Transmission should NOT be overfilled.
