Easy way to install a transmission filter and fluid. Please click like and subscribe. Click on my name under the video for all my other how-to videos,,,,Enjoy!!!
Changed my fluid and filter today, this video was a huge help. One point of interest/tip, I didn't have a suitable pry bar or steel bar to put on my exhaust which is slightly bent and I was having trouble getting the pan out once I dropped it. What worked for me was taking a 1" ratchet strap and wrapping it around the exhaust and the cross brace to pull it down enough so that I was able to get the pan out. Thanks for your contribution toward my mechanical endeavors!
It doesn't take long to drop the crossmember, but perfect explanation, thanks for watching!
Btw, the exhaust is flattened like that from the factory.
How many smoke butts do you recommend I mix in per shovel load of dirt ?
😅🤣
This made me lol
For people that dont know..dirt absorbs the oil or grease..just like what they do for clean up spills...also good for cleaning grease or oily hands
Just changed my transmission oil yesterday Pryde down on the exhaust with a bar worked perfect. Thank You
The flattened exhaust was that way from the factory on our 2014 Suburban and our 2013 CTS-V, both of which we bought new (as well as every CTS-V I've been around). Good video and appreciate your time and effort!
Most people don't know what machine surfaces are....so don't use dirt to clean trans parts (Brakleen instead) and if you think you might nick the seal surface on the pump intake just leave the old one untouched! By the way I own an inch pound torque wrench for tightening automatic trans bolts, best investment ever. And yes all those reusable gaskets beat any paper or cork one included with the filter.
thanks for the imput, personally i would never use brake clean in my pan ( to each his own ) there is a film that brake clean leaves that will dry out clutches so fast, but again each his own. thanks for the comment.
The dirt worked amazing. Wonder if cat litter would work well if you don’t have some good dry dirt.
Thank you for all the great info! What cause the owner of the vehicle to change the fluids and gasket etc! Was it due for service???
AHHHH... after reading comments i had to see why everyone was talking about dirt. I cannot believe i am seeing this. using dirt and water to clean a trans pan. Gotta love youtube diy'ers .
Thank you brother!!! That trick with the Jack was priceless 😀
joe,, thanks for watching.
Thats how we used to clean out the oil pans on trucks,old school way of thinking but works always!We used saw dust and than we used that oil impregnated saw dust for fire starting in the winter
perfect, i love it. thanks for watching.
WTF... Dirt to clean the pan. Never would have thought but I can tell you this, I will do it.. Great tip thanks for sharing
Is this the same set up for a 2012 Chevy Silverado?
This is a perfect video of what not to do... dirt to clean filtered oil from the pan? Why not just wipe it out with a shop rag? All that grit grinding and scratching the sealing surface of the pan... Prying on the filter seal is a good way to damage the bore. A piece of 3/4" pipe will thread in to the filter seal to remove it without damaging the bore. The filter and seal should be lubed with transmission fluid prior to installing the filter. The pan bolt torque specification is 80 inch-pounds.
Okay, Mr. Dealership. thanks for watching!
Hey Kevin, should i prime the new filter? Like how you fill oil filter with oil before installing? Thanks, couldn't count on this video for good info...

Dude, don't listen to the negative comments. You know what you're doing. My father taught me the dirt trick on all kinds of stuff too. I've done it. Never had a problem. Keep up the good work.
2012 or 2014?? makes a difference
Thanks for the Video , it is just a nasty design, your exhaust was not damaged or bent .
I love it. My transmission cleaning area.
Anyone who knows there way around a shop would know this guy knows his way around a shop.
Question I got a 06 Silverado that i want to replace the transmission lines to the radiator is it ok to remove the transmission mount and let it go down just a bit so I can remove lines I can’t get my hands in that spot
Excellent video! Thank you!! This was step by step perfection.
Thank you for your video. I'm going tackle my 2013 tomorrow.
Brian!! I changed before in easier way. When I let the pan loose, the fluid.So, I cleaned the pan and I removed the gasket, brushed the old gasket by iron brush. Put the new one and adjusted according to the halls. Put the new filter. Put the pan back and that is it. I never touched the bibe. Though, your way is excellent because I was not able to change the seal.
???
Anybody just leave the old filter bushing in ? Seems like it would be less risky than damaging the valve body with the screwdriver.
Thats what i do, unless it comes out with the filter, which it rarely does. I've seen others do the same as well. I don't really see why it would need to be replaced.
Thanks for the video. Did'nt know where the input for fluid was or to hold the socket like that....
Thats Dexron VI (6)
VI = 6
IV = 4
Good vid though
thats roman numerals. perfect, thanks for watching.
@@thomasbriansavingmoney hey man don't feel alone I looked at as 4 at first even ordered dex4 and was told never heard of 4 should be 6 oh well don't make mistakes ain't doin' much .........another good vid brother
I just left that little fitting and put my new filter back in it
You have to drop the exhaust. It was not bent lol.
it looks that way, but it was not. its the more shallow of the two pans. thanks for watching.
This video saved the day
7 too 10 foot lbs on the pan bolts. And a 2 dollar can of brake clean.
Exactly.... and maybe he has an elbow that clicks at 10 foot lbs🤪😏
Thanks guy. Such a backyard mechanic. Love the dirt tip. Great use of resources.
thank you, and thanks for watching.
I do not found anything in my 11 GMC Sierra 1500 owner manual that I have to change the transmission filter, what it says is change the fluid which I do every 50k at the dealership.
Lazy
@@michaelconnor5265
I will take that as a complement
I’ve never heard of guys using dirt to clean them before but I usually use a little bit of gasoline or brake cleaner 🤷🏻♂️ gas is a pretty good parts cleaner but I wouldn’t use it on plaster or rubber
I don't think it was the dirt so much, but the cleaning action of the pall mall butts was incredible!
mitch denner that’s hilarious 😂 😂😂😂
That's Dextron 6 not 4. lol You can clean the pan with a can of brake cleaner. About 18 FP of torque on the pan.
Exhaust is not bent. That’s how GM made the truck. Ask a tech.
you just did,,, but thanks for watching
Great vid cap! Thanks
Does that Silverado has 6 speed trans
yes it does
Good trick with the o ring I do this job in my Chevy Silverado 2009👍
Thanks Bro!!!! Appreciated the video! :-D
you got it, thanks for watching,
Dexron 6 not 4. IV is 4 VI is 6
nice video though
I've always said that the North American makers should do like the Europeans makers do and have their design engineers work on vehicles so they have an idea of the problems the mechanics in the field have. Maybe then the engineers would design thing that could be worked on. Silverados are just basic trucks not exotics, they should be easy to work on, they are the bread and butter of the dealerships and shops like this one.
you hit the nail right on the head,,,, thanks for watching.
I was a mechanic for 5 years before I joined the Canadian military back in 1974, it came in handy.
Yet all I hear is mechanics pissing and moaning about European makes, so I guess it doesn't really work, eh?
I found European makes much easier to work on than North American models.
Charles Damery That’s funny! I own an Audi A8 and I have never worked on a vehicle where the engineers did not give a shit about the mechanics as they did on this vehicle! As an example you have to pull off the whole bumper cover to replace any one of the 4 bulbs in the headlight assembly! Also they designed a LED tail light assembly with no way to replace any bulb! You must replace the whole assembly. The 4.2 was designed with the timing chains on the back of the engine and it needs to be replaced at between 80K and 100K which requires an engine pull! Never again will I own an Audi! I had a 91 Q45 Infinity that I put 265,000 miles on with original timing chain! And I ran the Hell out of that car! I could go on about the Audi which I do love how it drives but I will stay away from German cars and go back to Toyota, Lexus, Nissan and Infinity! The Japanese do electronics right that last!
That exhaust is not bent, they are all (6L80e's) like that. After doing many, I came to youtube looking for somebody who might know a different way. But the pry-bar is the way I guess. And Loosening the trans mount bolt and jacking trans up doesn't work. The exhaust goes up with the trans.
i think that is dexron 6. roman numerals VI. not 4
Just use some dirt to clean it up there
I’ve never figured out why there is no drain plug on a transmission oil pan.
Right!
They used too but the aluminum drain bolt would round very easily
ah yes, the old cigarette butt cleaner trick..
It ends up that the exhaust is not dented and you cannot remove the pan without jacking the exhaust downward. Love the vid but a heads up saying this is normal would have saved a good bit of time. Nice vid though.
Using dirt' to clean' hmm"
doctor jones that stresses me out.
doctor jones yes using dirt to clean, i was cringing so hard
smoking trans
Man... using a jack to torque the exhaust that's bolted to your engine down? And at that bend nontheless? Lol. Yikes. Let me just throw some rocks in my pan to scratch up the surface :(
It's says 2012 not 2014
Title says 2012 , guy says 2014?
It’s a 12
Dirt. Nature's soap.
ha ha ha , i love that comment, so true. thanks for watching. 2ff
I figure he was watching Rawhide or used to work on a wagon train, that's how they clean the dishes and cups!
control leak
Why not clean it with brake cleaner...
brake clean leaves a film, under heat with no movement, that film will harden. trans fluid can break down that harden layer, then you will have that chemical go through your valve body. if it is not a moving part, it will not break down the film left behind. not to mention, it is expensive and ewe are all about saving money, ha. great question. thanks for watching.
Dirt really
yeppers, works great. just make sure to clean the pan nicely before you finish. thanks for watching!
What not to do!!!!
Dextron 6 dummy
absolutely not. but thanks for watching!
