92Lex Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Unscrew the 14mm drain bolt on this pan and drain out all the existing fluid. Torque specs : 15ft lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Remove all (18) 10mm bolts from the edges of the pan. It was kind of hard for me to get the pan off after I removed these screws because the old gasket material was sealing it. Once you break it free, just wiggle it until it comes loose from the upper portion of the dipstick tube. It looks like 1 tube but it actually comes apart...the other half is what you are able to see under the hood. Picture of pan removed (I circled where the portion that seperates from the transmission dipstick tube): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Remove the (3) 10mm bolts holding the filter in place and replace the filter. Torque specs : 7ft lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Clean up the tranny pan and scrape off all the old gasket material. Take off the 4 magnets in the pan and wipe the metal shards off of them, then take some clean ATF fluid and wipe the insides of the pan. Install new gasket (or Form In Place Gasket) and reinstall pan...add ATF to appropriate levels. Torque specs : 65in.lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoho223 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have a 98 ES300. Everything looks the same as far as I can see. When I change the gasket and refill, how many quarts do I put back?.......4 or so? Thanks. Feel free to email: hoho223@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Measure amount drained in a 99 cent orange juice pitcher from Walmart. Takes the guesswork out of figuring out how much new fluid to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, 4 qts (with diff) is more then you will need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatBe Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi, I have some leak in the oil pan and transmission are of the 92 LS400, and I am planning to replace the gaskets. I have a question: Do I just buy the OEM gaskets from dealer or the aftermarket part will work? ... and do I need to use some kind of sealer or just the gasket would do it? Thanks in advance, hatbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
