Does anybody knows how to change the transmission oil filter for a chevy Malibu 1998?

I want to change the filter of the transmission, but i don't know how to do it, please can somebody help me. my car is a Chevy Malibu 1998 3.1 l engineDoes anybody knows how to change the transmission oil filter for a chevy Malibu 1998?there is a pan under your car at bottem of transmission. it is pretty big like 10 by 12 inches wide, and has around 14 bolts in it. take all those out and drain fluid into a bucket. now get transmission fluid and filter gasket set at autozone or pep boys or whatever. when you drop the transmission pan wipe the bottem of pan out and leave the magnets in there, they collect all the grazed metal. pull the two bolts out of the filter and replace it. now wipe down the pan and replace the gasket and put it back on and add bolts. then replace the transmission fluid. then on a level surface go through all the gears and with the car in park and running check the fluid to see if it is correct level. i usually do this once a year and the next year i have it flushed for like 100 bucks at mechani or jiffey lube. now by draining tranny and replacing the filter you are only changing half the fluid cause the other half is in the torque converter so thats why it is nice to flush it sometimes, hope this helps. on another part. you might need a second person putting the pan back on cause keeping the bolts lined up inside the gasket can be tricky.Does anybody knows how to change the transmission oil filter for a chevy Malibu 1998?what paxton said...but just to clarify....do NOT ever use any gasket sealant on transmission pan.....



and if u plan to keep this vehicle for a wile u might want to add a drain plug to the transmission pan to make future changes easier......part cost about 8 bucks at parts store and only takes a drill and about 5 min to install.......
