How to change the transaxle fluid and Automatic Transmission Filter on Saturn ION?

To change the transaxle fluid, first ensure that the vehicle has cooled down completely. Purchase the recommended transaxle fluid and a new filter. Raise the vehicle on jackstands and remove the front and side transaxle pan mounting bolts. Loosen the rear pan bolts and carefully pry the transaxle pan loose to drain the fluid. Remove the remaining bolts, pan, and gasket, and clean the gasket surface of the transaxle. Drain the fluid from the pan, clean the pan, and remove the filter and seal. Install a new filter seal and filter. Clean the gasket surface on the transaxle pan and install the new gasket. Tighten the bolts gradually and lower the vehicle. Add the specified amount of fluid and check the fluid level. If necessary, add fluid until it reaches the bottom of the check hole. Check the condition of the fluid and compare it to new fluid. Install the check plug securely. For 2004 and earlier ION models, follow specific instructions for the AF23-5 transaxle or VT25-E transaxle. Finally, check for leaks and dispose of the old fluid properly.

Saturn Ion Automatic Transmission Filter

Automatic Transmission Filter is found in Saturn Ion vehicles and it has the primary duty of ensuring that the health of the transmission system of the car is optimal, by removing any dirt found in the fluid before it gets to the transmission. This filter ensures that contaminants do not make the rounds within the system, hence they may block the flow channels of the transmission thereby affecting the performance of the transmission. The post-cleanup filter characteristic of most Saturn Ion models is within the transmission case and can be removed by unscrewing a 'fluid pan,' making it relatively simple to replace during maintenance check-ups. The Automatic Transmission Filters on Saturn Ion vehicles may have evolved over the years to include, inline filters installed directly on the transmission and fluid cooler cliampt filters, and external spin on or cartridge for easier access and therefore a higher frequency of change. It has some variation for the type of filtration required and the maintenance procedures involving the clean and smooth running of the transmission ensuring longer service lives.

Each OEM Saturn Ion Automatic Transmission Filter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
