Hi chasjernigan, Welcome to 2carpros Show TRANS-AXLE FLUID REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE Raise and support the vehicle. Remove the drain plug and drain fluid. Allow at least five minutes for the fluid to drain completely. Remove the gasket from the drain plug and discard. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: Install the new gasket on the drain plug. Install the
drain plug. Make sure vehicle is level. Remove the fluid level indicator located behind the front trans-axle mount. NOTICE: Do not remove the third gear anchor band bolt located on top of the transmission for checking fluid or adding fluid. Removing the bolt will dislocate internal components and require the transmission to be removed from the vehicle and disassembled for repair. Add approximately 3.1L (3.3 quart) of GM T-IV fluid to the trans-axle, using the fluid level indicator location. IMPORTANT: If the check is necessary at a low oil temperature of 30 -40 C (86 -104 F), perform check using the "COLD" range on the level gauge. However, the fluid must be re-checked at the proper fluid temperature. Start engine and operate vehicle until trans-axle fluid temperature reaches 60 -70 C (140 -158 F). Apply parking brake. Cheers!
