This is a DIY on how to replace your transmission filter and your fluid on a 2000 Infiniti I30
THIS IS NOT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH ONLY FILTER AND GASKET REPLACEMENT
Make sure you match up the gasket to the transmission pan before attempting this - Best to count the bolts before buying your parts
Personally I like to remove the dip stick so that air can travel down the tube and push out the old fluid since we aren't getting any of the fluid out of the torque converter
Once fluid is removed from pan put the bolt back then loosen up the bolts starting from the front with a oil pan catcher underneath it - Then slide front of pan so if any more fluid will spill into the pan
Then you can start removing the filter in my case I stuck the bolts in the new filter plastic so that you can remember which one they will go because there are different lengths
While the transmission is still dripping you can start cleaning and removing and inspecting the pan for shave metal and clean magnet with Degreaser
Match up your filter
Unfortunate they discontinued the transmission fluid this vehicle takes and the Dexcron VI is the new compatible fluid
Spray with brake cleaner on your transmission and clean the area around the gasket so that you have a oil less area
Gently tighten the bolts up not squeezing out the gasket - Some people use the black gasket maker - Then in my case I added some Lucas transmission fluid to help out
Run the engine then go through each gear - Then check fluid and re do the gears once more also check for leaks
Then you are finished
