i dont think so.. you need a wide drain pan under it and start taking the pan screws out..one at a time..start at a lower corner.. work around the high side and back around..slowly allow the fluid to run as you go..it should drain about 3-4 quarts..
which fluid? the transmission holds just over 13 quarts, you need 7.4 quarts if you drop pan and change filter oil change with filter is 4.5 quarts 10W 30.
Hi, you can download a manual here, but it does not specify the transmission capacity: http://www.extendedgmwarranty.com/owners-manual/chevrolet/2006-Chevrolet-Express.pdfHere is the info you need:
4L60-E transmission Service change only - 5 quarts. Total refill - 11.2 quarts.
Total refill would include a tear-down of the transmission and empty the torque converter. If you are just dropping the pan and changing the filter, 5 quarts should do it.
It usually takes five quarts of transmission fluid if your replacing the filter. If the transmission is completely empty, such as a new unit, it takes about ten.
If you are just draining the pan and replacing the filter it will hold around 6 quarts. However the total capacity on the THM125C transmission is 7 Quarts. On the 4T60-E transmission it is 13.4 quarts. My advice if you wish to replace it all is to have it done by a professional. If you are just draining the pan and replacing the filter then park on level surface, add 5.5 quarts and then start the engine and let the transmission reach full operating temperature. Add enough to reach the full mark. Do not overfill! Use Dexron 3 A/T fluid.
IT WILL TAKE 7 QUARTS FOR FLUID CHANGE.YOU NEED TO USE FACTORY GASKET.BECAUSE THE GASKET THAT COME WITH FILTER WILL LEAK.I HAD THAT PROBLEM.YOU CAN REUSE THE OLD GASKET.ITS THICK RUBBER GASKET WITH HOLDING HOLDING TABS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE.IF GASKET LOOKS DAMAGED OR BAD ITS BEST TO BUY IT AT DEALERS SHIP.IT COST ABOUT $40.00 DOLLARS.THE GASKET THAT COME IN FILTER KIT IT TOO THIN.IT PLAIN.IT DONT HAVE SEALING BEADS IN IT.WHEN YOU PUT IT ON ADD FLUID TRANSMISSION WILL LEAK THROUGH THE GASKET.LOOK AT THE OLD GASKET LOOK AT THE DOUBLE SEAL BEAD IT HAS IT KEEP IT FROM LEAKING.
For some unknown reason no one seems to put drain plugs on transmissions. You have to loosen the bolts holding the inspection plate on the bottom of the tranny and try and do it in such a way as one corner lower's first to drain the fluid, it will still be very messy. You can buy a transmission filter and new gasket at any parts store they should also be able to tell you how many quarts of fluid you will need. I don't know how many the Windstar takes but I would ask them first, I've had some cars take only 4 quarts and 1 that took 16 quarts. You refill it through the tranny dip stick.
