What specific torque specs do you need? See post 56 for the trans crossbrace ones. If you need others, just post up what you’re looking for.

Is the thread pitch the same for the oil and transmission? I'm not sure exactly what you did, sorry.

well I did perform the trans fluid exchange using the RP syncromax fluid as the OP posted. the process is a BITC* in my opinion. Then again I didn't have a rack to work with either. car was jack up about 4" inches with one rear tire slightly elevated as I could barley squeeze under the car. I ended up having a floor jack hold the trans in place while I removed the cross member. (a lot easier IMO to do it that way) used the large fluid sucker and it was a PITA to use, so I bought the pump as OP posted as well, much easier to use. all in all I probably lost about 25% of fluid between the sucker, spilling on the floor and just plain being messy.
I didn't let the car run yet as its still technically in winter mode. Today I had planned on letting the car run for about 30 mins as one of the GM directions have said and re-check the fluid. but from what I can tell its close to the 1/8 inch below the fill line... Wonder how "exact" it has to be?

Does anyone know if there is any harm to removing the transmission brace temporarily without holding the transmission in place with a jack. I ask this because I want to remove it to get to the oil drain plug of the transmission. as mentioned, multiple times in this thread, people remove it to reduce the mess of the fluid going every where. I want to remove it as well, but not sure if I need to hold the transmission up?
I know you should hold it up, but I want to know if I can just remove it for 30 minutes of so while I replace the fluid without any ill effects to the drive train.?? Thanks in advanced |

I think no matter how you do it it's going to be a little messy. The suction gun I linked helps a lot. You could use it to drain down a lot of the old fluid through the fill hole to minimize the volume coming out the drain. You can also use it after you refill to suck out enough to back off to 1/8" below fill hole - maybe just 1/2 to 3/4 of the flexible tube. I wouldn't worry about exact measurements. I used a bent piece of bailing wire to check if I was in the ballpark. I'm getting ready to do this again soon. This time I'll try the method removing the cross-member and update with photos. I don't doubt it'll be cleaner. I'm just wondering how much more time & effort it takes. The self-help shop I use should have a suitable jack to use under the lift. --Cal |

do not remove the trany mount with out the trany supported. There no way really of knowing what all will happen but most likely you will have alot of damage. That cross members supporting alot of weight that is going to drop a few inches. its keeping your engine and trany in its place.

I ended up starting the car and let it run for about 10 or so minutes. turned off (yes made sure it was level) cooled down for about 15. with a mirror I could see the fluid right where the threads where on the fill hole. so I used a fluid transfer sucked aprox 8-10ML (if I recall). Again, have not driven it.

FYI - did a Redline fluid swap today.
Servicing this Tranny is a PITA. I am using it as an excuse to get a ‘low profile’ ratchet, though. So there is that. The fluid pump the OP linked to is completely worthless. The tubing is so thick, it won’t make the bend. I wound up using my $6 fluid pump (same one I use for diff). Redline has really made a difference in shifting feel. Especially when cold.

Good call on the low profile ratchet, I'll snag one of those prior to doing this. I was planning on using this pump... http://a.co/aLxbJOj as it worked well for me for my diff fluid change.

Yes, my handy $6 fluid bottle pump saved the day. Kind of a chore to pump in 3.6 qts, but it worked.

Don't know if using a non GM approved fluid would cause warranty issues or not. May have to change it to the GM stuff if you take your car in for tranny issues just to CYA.
