- Automatic Transmission Fluid Change. This is the complete guide on how to change the transmission fluid in your car or truck! I give you valuable tips like tightening the bolts on the transmission valve body gasket so you get crisper shifts or using silicone on the rubber gasket to hold it in place.

Just changed my transmission fluid and filter by following this video. At first, after buying all the things I needed I just sat there for an hour thinking of how much I was regretting this, and that I could have just paid someone to do it. Then I was under the car dreading the mess of transmission fluid but it wasn’t that bad. Pan wasn’t cooperating so I thought that all this for nothing, but eventually it gave out. Gasket was fused onto the pan, factory filter, cleaning was the part I hated the most but at the end there was a clean pan, new filter, all I had to do was cross the finish line and.... I did! Dammit, Chris, you didn’t have to make look so easy but thank you so much 🙏
I'm glad you got it done by yourself!
ChrisFix what you did when u went threw the gears! Was the car running or was it off??
Dude im literly sitting in front of my tahoe regreting this as well. No joke. I haven't even jacked it up yet lol
Thank you David for the motivation. I got all the materials and schedule the time for my 2000 ford ranger transmission fluid change.
@@keemy1boo If you check the video you’ll see that the tachometer is reading about 1000 RPM meaning that the car is at idle
i bet chris' mom and dad didnt know they would give birth to such a badass mechanic and a guy that would help out literally millions across the world
I didn’t even know I’d do this haha
@@chrisfix Wow
How often do you change the filter an fluid?
@@selfmade8238 check your owners manual. Typically, every 60k miles
@chrisfix
Just finished my first transmission fluid and filter change! I’m proud of myself for doing it and grateful for you doing this video and giving me confidence to try! Your videos have saved me so much money the last 6 months!! ♥️🙏🏼
He has gotten more confident
I taught high school chemistry and physics for 25 years and I can honestly say you know exactly how to teach. Fantastic job! Thanks
Thanks Don!
Totally agree. As an older woman who has done zero mechanically, I feel like his instructions were so good - methodical & detailed- that even I could do it. 😎
@@chrisfixg
Your instructions and video quality are superb, and this is coming from a retired teacher who taught speech communication and video production.
Never had anyone teach me this stuff thanks man!
No prob
Sorry.
What do think of Amzoil for transmission on a 2017 Malibu ,& its closed in where are the bolt to drain, & the bolt for checking. Leo Vitali thanks.
I love this channel!!Youll love my stuff too !!check it out!! I just uploaded a new video!! Greaat video!!
I have a 2017 Malibu LS, was wondering if you could help me out with this transmission on a 1.5 liter changing the fluid that they say its a closed in & don't need to be changed , I'm having a hard time believing that . Is that true or not help thanks Leo Vitali.
Thanks Chris for helping millions. I’m a neuroscientist by profession but love to learn and try almost all from cars to home maintenance. After watching couple of videos, I started working on my Audi, BMW and Ford. Now I can do almost all (that I watched) and better than a mechanic. Thanks for sharing wonderful videos.
Very cool how folks from all trades love to learn about cars. I'm a software engineer professionally and love tinkering with my cars (maintenance and detailing). It's very satisfying to take care of something you own.
That's amazing Dr Zaman. I used to work with you at the college in one of the labs. Small world

Thank you so much. I used this video and your oil change video yesterday, and I'm really proud of myself. I can't believe it was really this easy, besides the 6 mental break downs I had after i dropped the pan on my face 🙃
A moment of silence for the people who dislike the video because they didn't follow the steps correctly and blew up their transmissions
1, 2, 3, 4! Blow up your engines!

It's literally as easy as changing engine oil lol
@@AdmiralFroggy People blow up their engines doing that too!

Chris, I've said it before I'm sure but you make the type of "How To" videos that someone who already knows exactly what they're doing will watch - You're that good. I was a dealership technician years ago and you're the type of person every company needs to teach (explain properly) and demonstrate the *correct* way to do things. Cheers, my friend!
ATCRyderX© I agree, with what you said. And think what a very nice compliment. Kids got a knack.
ATCRyderX© Spot on. I was thinking the same thing!! I already knew how to do this in general but I learned a few new things too! Gonna remember that foil trick for my next Mercury Grand Marquis oil change.

Thanks chris , with your videos i was able to for the first time change my oil and filter , then i moved into switching my own rotors and break pads and cleaning them . Now am looking to do some maintenance on the transmission. Thanks again your videos are awesome and exceptionally detailed. 🙏✌️
I just found this channel this week and I have to say, this is probably the best channel TH-cam has ever had. I grew up in a house full of gear heads, and I started turning wrenches before I can even remember, but honestly I've learned more than a few new things watching these videos. There are plenty of people who didn't grow up restoring old cars, and the sheer amount of detail in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO is absolutely amazing. I'm looking forward to binge watching the rest of the videos you've dropped, and am excited for any new content you're gonna come up with. Thanks for reminding me why I love working on cars, my dude!
you need your own show, or more recognition. one of the most informative channels on the tube.
i agree
+dustin b Thanks a lot! As long as you guys are learning I am happy. The support I get from my subscribers is what makes me feel amazing every day and it is why I take the time to produce these videos! Thank you guys, it means the world to me!

ChrisFix the type of guy to paint his lug nuts when changing a tire
haha, you know it!
douge demuro fan much!!!
Black lug nuts look good lol
But what is the Doug score?
I just want them to come off without causing problems. I once had a Chrysler with those horrible two piece lug nuts. That was a 1995 car. I wonder if they still use those things. I replaced all of mine with some cheap chrome plated solid ones for a dollar each that also looked better. I just made sure they had a set of 20 that all match before buying them. They even installed them too for that price. I would do it again if I had a car that uses lug nuts. I now have one that uses bolts and it does make putting a tire on a little more challenging. I wonder how many people who had the two piece lug nuts were frustrated with them. The problem with them is the the cap is thin metal and it sometimes deforms or comes off. It can make removing those lug nuts a huge pain. It is worse some times with alloy wheels. If you want to see a really grouchy person, it would be me after having problems removing those monstrosities from a car.
One of if not the best car maintenance tutorial. Easy to follow, clear mic, GREAT camera work!
I love you Chris. Your the reason I got off my lazy but, started educating myself, and fixed my car. Now I’m buying more tools, and looking forward to getting a project car for drifting. You are so helpful, thank you for doing everything you do!
seeing you clean that pan was so incredibly satisfying
That job and video were both EXTREMELY professionally done.
Explanations were short, correct, and to the point.
Well organized and illuminated shots with great camera angles.
Oh yeah, that's right!
Chris, I just want to say THANK YOU. This video was a excellent guide on how deal with this transmission fluid change process.
I was just given a 1990 Chevrolet G30 Van 1 Ton Beauville Extended. This video was exactly what I needed. In so used to not needing to deal with trans maintenance on newer cars. I had to get a refresher to remind myself what needs to be done. As always, this video is very much appreciated.
Chris, I followed your vid to do my own Transmission fluid this morning, thanks man! Saved me a ton of cash.
Awesome Kevin! I am glad the videos are helpful and nice work!
ChrisFix o
I want to do this on my Ranger as well. It's been changed several times by a shop over the years, but they want $180 to do it these days. I'm guessing this will save at least $120.
That's cool
Imagine how half assed most shops do this. This should be how all work is done.
AcM
Exactly, that's why we thank Chris fix for his helpful DIY videos so the job will be done correctly. I dont trust mechanics to do a great job.
i bet they dont clean the magnet or sludge off the pan bottom
@@fishertech no of course not. They WANT ur trans to give out so they can really get paid!
Just did this on my truck, it shifts so much better now! Thanks for all the tips Chris!
Fabulous video! I followed your 5 step process and had total success! My truck is 2005 Ford Ranger and I didn't need a universal socket adapter because there was clearance for all 18 bolts. My filter did not have the "spout" on one side, but the new part was identical to the old one. The truck seemed to shift EASIER compared to before! The fluid removed was about 3.5 quarts and the color was similar to your middle variety...translucent brown with slight pink and no metal specks. The metal pan had a little metal on the magnet, but not much. Thank you Chris!...for saving me some $$$!
I snapped and said primer and then I snapped and said paint but my fluid pan didn't change color did I do something wrong?
+Edward Myers Make sure you yell it! Real loud so your neighbors can hear you. It usually works then. If not, I should probably make a video on how to do it :P
+ChrisFix No you are wrong, it is just magic.
Did you check your headlight fluid? Some times the two are related
Those are some good quality snaps. The... the... the quality content I guess. That is what youtube was made for - quality content.
Or quality snaps...
Did you make sure you were snapping with your right hand? XD
Great video. The only thing that I would have mentioned is to make sure, when you pull off the filter, that the o-rings come out with it.
+Call of Drewski Thanks and thanks for the tip!
Call of Drewski i had that happen when i was replacing injectors for my car. I was having a hard time getting the last one in and then i found out the O-ring never went out with the old injector
I had a problem taking the o- ring out of my 2007 Pontiac. Grand Prix, I tore it a little bit but I decided to leave it in there and not put a new o-ring in and just put in the filter. My o-ring was SUPER HARD to come out.
You're videos and Haynes manuals have saved me thousands. Thank you Chris!
Just changed my transmission oil and filter this weekend. Great and easy to follow instructions in this video, thanks to Chris I saved over $50, had to buy all the tools to do the job, next time I do this job again, I'll be saving about $200. I think this is the Best channel on youtube, cant wait to fix the next thing in my car
Chris you have inspired me to tackle automotive work that used to intimidate me. By watching your videos, you have given me the courage to restore my truck. Thank you for such informative and easy to follow videos. God bless you
Best automotive how-to video I've seen! I'm now confident in doing this myself rather than having a shop do it. Thank you!!
You're a real life save Chris, just changed the fluid & filter myself after watching your video. Never had done it before so I was a bit eerie about it, but I finished with no problems, thanks 😁👍
Thanks to this video I was able to change my Transmission Fluid for the first time. First oil change now transmission fluid. Hoping to do more maintenance to my car with the help of all your videos.
I replaced the transmission fluid on my 2006 Hyundai Tiburon at 110k miles (121k now). At that point I only owned the car for around 6k miles, and was very unimpressed with the sport shifter, taking 2-3 seconds to shift between gears, so I decided to replace the fluid.
Holy hell what a difference! the fresh fluid dropped my shifting times from 2-3 seconds all the way down to .25-.5 seconds! best thing I ever did for that car!
Nice, when buying used always assume the previous owner did nothing
Boy that filter dropped out about as quick as I did in highschool😂😂😂
hahahaha
+Jmoney hahaha, but at the same, not haha
+Jmoney Loser.
+flimflam right lol
Jmoney Jus playin yo.
great tutorials chris! and thanks.. whoever does this to their vehicle is smart because you know youre doing the job right as no mechanic is going to follow all these steps! just make sure you have loads and i mean LOADS of dirty rags and obviously clean rags because you WILL need them and trust have two plastic blue tarps underneath to catch all the drips as they spill everywhere. but you get immense satisfaction in knowing you did the job right and you will certainly feel the transmission come alive and drive like a dream. Thanks so much Chris!
chris i want to personally thank you for these videos. you are very helpful and articulate. I love how you show each step clearly and explain it. subscribed.
I have to compliment you on all your videos, and I have never done so before for any other channels. Yours are clear, concise, and the video is the best and most helpful I have seen. You are able to explain complicated issues quite simply and easily understood. I have been a DIY "hack" mechanic for years, on German, Japanese, and American cars. Just now learning on my first "Brit" a 1999 Jag XJ8. Glad I found your Channel. Keep-up the great work!

This guy is amazing. So fluent and explains everything in details.
I'm so lucky to find you Chris..you're amazing. Your instructions are very clear & very simple. This world need honest people like you..
A million thanks for your guide.
May God bless you.
Hey Chris,
Love your content!!! You’ve saved me millions (well maybe thousands). I even replaced, vacuumed and charge my sons a/c system thanks to you. Keep up the great work.
Nothing new for me, but very interest to see your videos! Respect and good luck!!
Great video as always, Chris. Extra props for the pro tip about the foil.
This person kept me so much involved in this, I had no clue what was happening in my surroundings, This was an excellent clip -- Hardwork pays off
I have been trying things since several years ago I had to take and learn how to do anything without videos. I was really excited to see you because you are so efficient when you make a video. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
One of many fans round the world is me.. from Syria - Damascus
Thanks a lot
Just changed my oil for the first time last week with one of your videos and just changed my transmission fluid today with this one. I couldn’t believe the difference. It’s now my goal to make my ‘99 Avalon last till 300k (110k currently), wish me luck lol
Hands down one of the BEST tutorial videos I have ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, Chris..thank you! I'm 75 & I'm in the process of collecting info & parts to do this ATF/filter change. I know I can do this, but must prepare & understand all 5 steps you so beautifully described. I'm stoked.
I really enjoy your videos.
My stepdad was an awesome mechanic, and looking back I wish I had learned more about cars when I was younger. Your videos are fantastic for someone who wants to learn about cars and how to maintain them yourself.
Thanks for being so detailed, with excellent explanations and visual aids. This information is so valuable and you make it so easy to follow.
Keep up the good work :)
To answer some common questions:
-I used this primer: amzn.to/1LPIfPk and this paint: amzn.to/1ZE3DZS
-I will be doing a video in 2 weeks answering common transmission questions like "Can changing your fluid cause damage to your transmission"?

+Helton Bates That would be pretty cool! Stay tuned!
+ChrisFix Hey Chris what kind of tool kit do you have? I've been looking for a all black set, but I can't find any.

Yo chris I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and you’ve motivated me to go to school for automotive technician 🗣 keep the videos rolling feels like I learn something new from little tips, and tricks

Excellent and clear step by step video and detailed explanation, Chris. The best video I've seen. Thanks. Please keep posting video like this.
Thanks man! Glad the video was helpful!
For the rubber ones I saw a trick where you push in one or two bolts through the gasket and that normally holds them on and gives you an easy start to get the pan screwed back in.
This was amazingly done ! The video itself but also the steps were so clear. Just don’t forget bubbles though when you are filling it. Maybe it was just my car but fill with caution
*GUYS LIKE THIS COMMENT IF YOU AGREE!* Chris, please do a video on how to install an aftermarket exhaust! I'v seen it a million times, but I know you'll make it 100x more interesting
+Gargoyle When I get the drift car I will make a video! We will do a crazy cool exhaust! I have some great ideas like electric cutouts so we can wake the neighborhood up or keep it quiet to sneak home at night haha
ChrisFix hey so you got the drift car now where is the exhaust video lol
True to his word, he made one
You are so much more enthusiastic in your newer videos than your older ones from 2013/2014 lol
Im about to do my transmission filter tomorrow and ive never done more than an oil change and this is by far the best and most informative video. This is why i know i can do it. You just show me. Step, by step. Thanks Dude!
How'd it go
This is an excellent description of how to do it. I am older and will not use ramps. I go to my competent mechanic, have him put the car on the lift and now I give the reason that I don't do the change. While the car is on the lift, I do what the insurance company doesn't want the customer to do. I have a list of inspection items, lubrication items (oh yes, you lubricate seals under the car or eventually have a big repair problem vs. a few bucks for lubricant). The tires are turned and inspected. I am inspecting every component. Your dealer mechanic and even your trusty local guy will not the same inspection that you want to do. It would be a PITA to do this with just ramps in the driveway. And remember. When you do city driving, short hops, start and stops, you are working the transmission much harder than driving on the open road. If your manual says change the fluid every 40,000 miles and you are highway driving the average mileage, that is every 2-3 years. You have about the same time interval with hard, in city, lower mileage driving.
ChrisFix Your such good help learned so much from watching your videos!!!🤟🏽
Great video Chris. One suggestion is to install a drain plug to make future draining a breeze. Then you can drain it regularly, measure the amount drained, and refill. It would only take a few minutes and be nearly mess-free.
When the man is clearly teaching us about the transmission, DOs&DONTS, and all the great information he providing us with.... let’s be respectful and not make suggestions like he is uninformed or like he isn’t aware of quicker ways to handle shit. :D
Thanks for the informative video Chris!
Drain plug with a magnet. There is a USA made brand that exceeds even my kias factory magnet drain plug. Last comment is a ignorant comment. Chris also likes to learn. Without knowledge he wouldn't make ANY videos. Cheers 🥂

I have a GMC Envoy 2002 & I finally did this procedure last knight after work, I watched this video over and over in order to memorize it and it worked, thanks... on the ride home I was noticing the changes were smother and the engine rhythm under less stress. It was very nice to hear it, I could've never done it without your help, thank you...
Great tip on the valve body tightening - thank u for the torque spec as well
Thanks!
I bought a 2001 Ranger because of your videos. These videos have saved me tons of money.
Chris you are the only one in all the videos that I saw prior to yours that showed a close up of the dipstick where your oil level should be at on it so you're video was probably the best if not the best you showed that you should check it when the vehicle or transmission oil is hot or warm to be able to correctly check the oil level and where it should be on your dipstick not everybody knows this on the dipstick
I cant get it to prime and paint when I snap my fingers. Do I need an infinity gauntlet?
you need jesus
you need the power of editing
Thanks for the video! My pan was leaking and dealer wanted 400 to fix it. Took me 3 hours and I stripped a torx bolt that holds the filter, but you saved me 250 dollars and I am proud to say I did it myself!
Great video Chris. You make car repair so easy! Thanks a ton!
Thank you for providing such a perfectly detailed how to on transmission & filter change out! You are awesome!!

How to install nos? I'm not sure.

Without a doubt Chris is the most thoroughly meticulous mechanic I've seen... Really detailed.
great instruction. On my truck I used a fluid extractor down the dipstick tube to remove the fluid from the pan before dropping it, made it a lot less messy. Then after the initial change out I drove the truck for a week and removed the fluid again through the dipstick, adding new. I did this one more time. In this way I think I replaced all 10 quarts of old fluid with new. An extractor is handy to have on this job.
Many thanks Chris, learnt a lot from your clear explanation over your many videos. Mark from Malaysia/Thailand :)
I am glad you are learning a lot!
Wow, I'm double impressed. The first thing is that in the manual they mention the change of the transmission oil and the second that you can check and fill up your transmission oil from the hub. On the bmw's that's impossible. Bmw tells the owners the transmission oil holds the entire life of the car 😂. 150'000 km is their definition of lifetime 🤷🏿♂️
Thank you!! Everything was explained very detailed. I ordered everything I need and will be trying it for the first time! :)
I was too afraid to do it on my 90’ ford ranger since it was my first car but now it’s the third year and the trans died on me so I finally changed the filter and it’s running again for now! Thanks for the great knowledge
You make everything looks so dang easy! I’m amazed at every video you make. Thanks Chris
Thanks Chris! Always making a seemingly difficult job into something anyone can do
That’s the goal!
Crystal clear! Beautiful instructions! Amazing teaching skills:)
Just tried this out for the first time successfully on my 77 chevy, besides dropping my whole phone in transmission oil everything went smooth lol, thanks bro
I just did this to my ‘01 Olds Silhouette yesterday. Satisfying upon completion, but my filter was not that easy to do. No bolt to hold in or remove he filter. It just seats in using a metal ring. The old filter actually broke off removing it. I thought I broke my transmission lol. But I got some advice from an Oldsmobile master tech who said that it was fine as long as I could get the rest of the filter out, which I did. A job well for. Took 3.5 hours though. On the plus side, that knowledge will be great for later next time I change the filter, and if I ever encounter another vehicles come with the same type of filter installation.
Need to do a video on all transmission seals and cooler lines
Chris, you take a lot of fear out of us do it yourselfers, great video thank you.
Cris because of all your helpful videos I been learning and doing all this maintenance to my Ford F-150 thank you so much, even for a rookie like me I can do it thanks :) 🙏💪🏽💯
