Do i have to pull the motor to change the oil pan gasket in my 2001 pontiac aztec?

1. Remove transmission oil pan (be careful oil will splash all over)
2. Remove all bolts slowly, so oil will drain slowly
3. Transmission oil pan gasket is reusable
4. Clean oil pan and let transmission oil drip then reinstall pan and gasket.(At the same time you can change the transmission oil filter.
5. Fill with transmission oil fluid (see specification) 4 liters Dexron4 fluid
6. Start the engine place transmission lever to park or neutral
7. At the same time remove plug (see pictures ) until fluid comes out the transmission plug hole. (replace the plug)



Hope it helps.

Yes, slightly to clear. 3''-4" should do it,Hope this helps.

if all the bolts are out, then you will need to lift the engine slightly to clear, and tap the sides with a rubber mallet to break the seal, do not try to pry it off with a screwdriver or other metal tool, it can warp, and damage the surface making a good seal on the new gasket tough. Hope this answers your question.

goto YouTube and paste the following into the YouTube search window and look at various videos covering your issue ( 1994 cadillac eldorado with a 4.6 northstar oil pan gasket change )

need to see if its a seal or gasket

There is a pan on the drivers side of the transmission. You will need to drop the subframe and drop the trans low enough to get the pan off thought the wheel well. One the side pan is off you will be able to service the solenoid. Lmk

If you want to repair the oil pan I would also check lower engine mount for leaking oil and cracks in anti sway bar near fitting's. This due to engine mount is oil filled. OEM sway bar is made of tubular steel and they crack easy. Replacement sway bar is solid steel. Here's the kicker. When they pull the lower frame to service oil pan. The engine mount and sway bar are attached to that frame. A honest mechanic should only charge for parts ($35 for mount and $100 for sway bar) and maybe a extra hour. My mechanic did all in 5 hours. FYI gasket is only $35 bucks. Good luck

Remove motor mount bolts and rear transmission crossmember bolts or nuts,suppport engine/trans. see if u have enough clearance between pan and axle remove pan. if not, split the exh away from the manifolds. worth a try

drain the oil
remove all bolts from the pan.
verify new gasket hole patern matches your pan
use a high temperature silicone and put silicone on pan and stick new gasket to pan makig sure all holes line up.
when re-installing start at the corners of the oil pan and then go in a clockwise motion adding one bolt to the opposite side if the corner bolts until all bolts have been replaced.
tighten all bolts evenly starting in the cornersdo a criss cross pattern when tightening bolts to make sure pan seats properly
go back and snug any loose bolts
if you have a torque wrench or want to rent one go ahead and torque bolts to.
done.
