GT350 Transmission fluid change question

[Bob Loblah]

When changing transmission fluid, are there any additional actions required to drain the fluid in the cooler and cooler lines or does all the fluid drain to the pan? Thanks.

I wouldn't know...tech car.
Aftermarket coolers to come!

Good question. The fluid is draining out of my GT350R as I type. I guess I fill it up until fluid comes out of the fill hole.

Old thread, so any updates on doing the tranny fluid service as OP asked?

 

[Tomster]

Yes, its in the service manual. Drain, fill, run (idle) the car for a period of time as specified in the manual (I forget the time), and then top it off.

Someone much more knowledgeable will likely chime in, but I found this re the process that may be helpful.

like I said, drain, fill, and idle.

The service manuals are not expansive, if you own this car you should have it.

That's a great document. Do you have one for the rear differential?

 

[Tomster]

Like I said, the manuals are not that expensive. If you are doing work on your own car, you have to have one.

@AdamIsAdam : RE: what Tomster said, you can buy the OEM manual for relatively cheap.

Factory Manuals (factory-manuals.com)

I use these guys and buy the "deluxe" version since it includes working links - at least for the Ford manuals......for some reason the links don't work in the Subaru manuals....

Give them your VIN, ~ $140, and a couple days later you'll have the 10,000 pg + OEM service manual in *.pdf form.

Apologies if external links aren't allowed

Thanks for providing a source! Good info for those of us looking for a service manual

Great! Thanks for the link. I'll order up one now. Does it cover GT350? I don't see it being differentiated in the order section.

EDIT: I see this:

Engine - 2.3L EcoBoost (231kW/314PS)

When I went to 2017, I don't see a deluxe version option and it was only $100.

Hmmm....their writeup makes it sound like all versions are "deluxe" now. Nice to save $40.

 

[AdamIsAdam]

yup, but wiring is separate. I skipped that for now. I enjoy reading wiring schematics, but not for $69.
