Transmission Argo Service Manual
TR-6
Be sure to follow any federal or state laws regarding the proper procedure for disposing
of oils.
3 Perform the servicing procedure, Removing the Firewall, in Section VB of this
service manual.
4 Perform the servicing procedure, Removing the Front Floor Pan, in Section VB of
this service manual.
5 Remove the hood.
6 Clean the transmission around the dipstick location. This will keep dirt from enter-
ing the gearbox.
7 Remove the dipstick. Vehicles manufactured prior to mid 1994 will require the
dipstick to be threaded from the gearbox using a 3/8" opened end wrench. Dipsticks
on newer models utilize an "O" ring and need only be pulled straight up and out
from the transmission, however the gearshift lever may need to be shifted into low
or high gear to allow the dipstick to be
removed.
8 Form a piece of sheet metal to place
beneath the drain plug to route the oil
from the transmission to a plastic bag
on the front floor. Photo TR-02
9 Remove the drain plug and clean off any
metal filings from the magnet.
To remove the drain plug easily and effectively, a 7/16" 8 Point Socket must be used. An
opened end style wrench or vise grip wrench is not recommended as they will damage the
plug.
10 Dispose of the used transmission oil.
