DIY: Change AT for 4D56

[nicolodeon]

Mga diesel masters,, question po: how hard or how easy is it to change the ATF ng 4D56?

Balaki kasi nami ni esmi kami ang tumira this weekend para naman makatipid. Change oil ng tsikot, nagagawa na namin pero this would be the our first time to attempt na kami ang magpalit sa ATF.

Hindi pa naman sya sunog or colored brown pero tantya ko eh malapit na, kaya preventive maintenance na ako.

TIA.

dali lang kung diy person ka coz' partial oil change lang yan. just drain it via plug. make sure engine is up to temp then drain. to check atf level start engine, once at right temp move shift level to r,n,d (back and forth) then back to park. clean dipstick and check for level. should be between upper cold and upper hot mark.

Ah ok. Sorry for a dummy-type question pero san po situated yung drain-plug para sa ATF?

[garyq]

haven't checked sa tranny ng Pajero pero nasa side or ilalim nung tranny case yan. You wont miss it.

Boss GaryQ, thanks a bunch!

Sir nickelodeon, madali lang makita yung drain plug sa ilalim ng transfer case. The tricky part is putting in the new ATF. Dapat meron kang funnel (Embudo) na kasya sa pinaglalagyan ng Dipstick for the ATF sa engine bay. The size of the funnel should be smaller than the inner diameter of the dipstick well to allow air to vent during filling.

i have...on my previous delica...state ko nalang..

need mo:
1. wrenches, #8-#14...cant remember though, pero mas ok kung may open and box/socket wrench ka),
2. pre-cut cork gasket and atf oil filter (* less than 2,000 pesos) that you can buy in motorich in banawe..(mas maganda kung as-per sample(bring mo ung malinis mong oilpan and old oil filter)
3. 8 liters of atf(i used dextron2 type, pero sabi nila diaqueen..ask mo nalang din sa motorich..
4. 1 tube red silicone gasket maker if ever wala kang mahihingian ng kalahati lang...
5.1-2 liters of gaas(panlinis ng oil pan)
6.1/2" or 1" paint brush
7. 1 trusty assistant.

ung drain plug nasa ilalim, makikita mo agad yan(ang maganda sa delica di mo na kailangan i-lift pa para sumuot sa ilalim.)

2-3 liters lang madddrain mo pag nabuksan mo ung drain plug.

then remove the atf oil pan..ingat sa pagbaba, may approximately 1-2 liters of atf pa laman nito.

makikita mo ung oilfiler, alisin mo(may matatapon atf din, mga .25-.75 liters)

clean mo ung oil pan, including the magnets ( i believe there are 2 or 3 of those.)

pagkalinis mo, dry mo then if nakabili ka na ng cork gasket,atf and filter balik mo na. fill the pan with atleast 4 liters(or until full) ng atf.

remove the hose going in and out the atf oil cooler(sa radiator sana, pero, madami pa babaklasin, e ung oil cooler nasa my harapan lang...)

lagyan mo ng big bottle na pagsasalukan ng atf na tatapon..

then start mo ung engine(dont shift the a/t lever) this is just to remove the old atf in the torque converter)

pag naka halos 3- 3.5 liters ka na din, patayin mo ung makina, ibalik mo ung hoses then refill the atf to its right level...

malabo ba? teka hanapin ko ung 4x4mag ko at scan ko...
