How do you add automatic transmission fluid to a 2000 Isuzu Trooper?

Answer 1

I am currently changing the fluid in my trooper it also is a 2000 assuming you are changing filter and all first scoch your tires then climb undreneth and find the trans pan it will have two drain plugs 19mm remove the middle one be sure two have a drain pan waiting! After all of the fluid is out slide the pan out of the way at the rear of the trans you will see a crossmember you need to support your trans with a jackstand then slide a jack under the crossmember unbolt it and let it down this is the only way to get to the back bolts on the trans pan. after crossmember and pan are removed you will see the filter replace it then follow these directions in reverse order after every thing is back together you need to use a fluid pump($7-$11 at most parts stores or wal-mart) most of these pumps have a hose that fits the drain plug perfect with no leaking. Put the other end of the pump in a quart of fluid and start a pumping when you have finished remove the hose make sure you have the drain plug bolt in hand right next to the hole (i always pump a quarter of a bottle over cause its hard not to loose some! Make sur you use a GM approved trans fluid im not 100% on how much fluid, but they can tell you at the parts store.ive done this 5 years in a row.if it were up to me id pay some one to do it!! GOOD LUCK
