    • Drain plug (3)
  5. Check for foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, has some burned smell, or contains foreign particles then friction material (clutches, band) may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
    CAUTION: If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to [A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING ].
  6. Remove magnets from oil pan.
