But seriously bump. redlineblueline 06-13-2006, 12:52 PM Bump redlineblueline 06-16-2006, 09:40 PM Does any one know the answer to this?????!!!!!!!?????? Somebody has to know. redlineblueline 06-20-2006, 11:50 AM Bump BlackLS 06-24-2006, 02:21 PM I'm not sure but it is something that I would also like to know. I also wanted to say that the last line in your sig is great:twothumbs flobeelicious 06-24-2006, 02:27 PM if the tranny is like the auto in my old cavalier (which it may or may not be) you'd have to drop the pan to drain the fluid. the good news is its easy to change the filter too with the pan dropped. the bad news is that you'll have to regasket it and hope it doesn't leak when youre done. if anyone knows any different, please correct me. (can't find my service manuals in the mess of moving boxes.) redlineblueline 06-26-2006, 02:53 PM Finally!!!!!! Someone answered me. freakta 08-26-2007, 02:10 PM is it the same for the 07 2.2 auto i dont wanna do all that cause the tranny fluid is new cause the car is new i just want better fluid HunterKiller89 08-26-2007, 05:12 PM it should be the same...4t40 (cavalier) and the 4t45 (cobalt) are almost identical. there is a way to change fluid without dropping the pan, though im not positive, so i dont want to tell you how yet since im not sure. i sent halfcent a PM asking him.im sure ill have an answer today, tomorrow at the latest cobalt15.7 09-09-2007, 05:47 AM i took mine to a shop and they hooked to a pump thing thay called it a flush. they fill this thing with 10qts of tranny fluid and it pumps out the old fluid and washes through a couple of qts of the new fluid to cleanit then it fills it to wherever it needs to be i think 7qts.
