how do you change transmission fluid on Pontiac?

This detail was asked for Pontiac sunfire.Its 2005 model.

The procedure is as follows to change the tranny fluid.


Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through the gear ranges, pausing a few seconds in each range. Return the shift lever to the PARK range.

Remove the fluid vent cap.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift lever in the PARK range.

Caution: The engine must be running when the transmission fluid fill plug is removed, or excessive fluid loss will occur.
Transmission fluid may be hot. Since the actual fluid level is unknown, stand clear when removing the fill plug. Have a container ready to capture any lost fluid. Do not turn the engine off with the fill plug removed, as you can be injured by hot transmission fluid being expelled out of the oil fill opening.
Remove the transmission oil level control plug located by the rt front wheel cv shaft it is 11mm hex head screw you need to add fluid through the fill hole(under the throttle body until fluid runs out the plug hole).

This will help.
Thanks,.
