How do you change the transmission fluid on a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport? |
[Edit] |
Answer
No it's not easy and the answers are correct You have tfill through the overflow but the key is fill until fluid runs out ....then start the truck and get it to operating temp then remove the plug on fill again until fluid runs out That way the level is correct and you wont hurt your trans.man good luck with this i tried it on my 2002 isuzu rodeo and blew out the piston retainer cap you can only fill it in the trans pan over flow but beware not to over fill it you gotta find something to pump it in it took me and 1 other to use a siphoner to litterally hold it to the over flow hole here is a tip the pans only hold 4 qts which i found out the hard way on a good note the dealer warranteed my tranny work so it was fixed after 4 months of driving it like that.if i can be of more help or clerify this feel free to email me at mike_lissy@comcast.net
dpullum here.... I have a 99 with 145K miles. With the transmission warm, remove the bottom drain plug. 3-4 quarts drain. At Autozone or other... They have low cost in a gallon container, buy this for the first change, 3 of 9 or 33% change. Fill through the overflow plug. I had to use tubing added to the end of the pump. use wire to hang it so it does not slip out. Only change on a hot day so that the fluid is in the temp fill temp range. Then keep refilling the jug and change again in 500 or so miles, some varnish or sludge will be removed. Change again, so 1/3 of 2/3 old stuff is change so on until 4 changes 2/3x2/3x2/3x2/3= 20% old, now is the time to change the filter by droping the pans,,,, both the big one and the smaller over drive (that OD filter can be simply rinsed.) now you have only 13% old stuff,,, again drain and you have 9% old. So, 4 before filters is a good number. and you have not shocked the sludge and varnish lose, just dissolved it. so, 5x3=15 quarts at say $2.50/qt is (one for spillage) $40 of fluid. about half of a flush and you haven't ruined a high miles tranmission. I have done the above to mine and the fluid is pink and sweet rather than the toast smell and dark color I started with. d/p dpullum@tampabay.rr.com

Research your answer: |
- Where is the 02 Sensor bank 1 and sensor 1 located on a 2000 Honda and could having a transmission rebuilt cause the problem?
- Why does your 89 Ford Bronco make a loud thunk in the rear end when you drive and gets louder when turning either direction?
- When you make a turn it makes a loud thunk coming from the rear end its an 89 Ford Bronco guessing bearing but not sure any ideas?
