Installation
Refer to Figure A for Steps 1-2:
Note : Your vehicle must be completely cooled off before proceeding with
the installation.
Note : You will need to get under the truck to do this installation.
Please use every precaution when lifting the vehicle.
-
Park your vehicle on a flat, dry surface. You will need to block the tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If your vehicle doesn’t have a skid plate over the transmission pan, please proceed to Step 4 to start the installation. -

Remove the heat shielding from around the transmission pan by removing the six (6) nuts.

Note: There is no drain plug in the factory pan so you will need to be careful when removing the bolts from the transmission pan. Transmission fluid is going to leak out. -
As you remove the eighteen (18) transmission pan bolts, the transmission fluid will start to leak. You may want to leave a few bolts in as you remove the transmission pan to allow it to leak out slowly.
