I am newbie DIY mechanic (sort of). I was trying to change my transmission fluid, using a Chilton book (or Haynes?) as my guide. I got all the equiment and fluids, drained the fluid, unbolted the pan BUT... I'm stuck!
The pan is connected to a pipe that goes up to the dipstick. There is a connection there that looks like it might slide off so I can remove the pan, but it won't budge. Should that slide off? Or do I really have to unbolt the supports on the dipstick too?? BTW, I tried this and it seems nearly impossible without also removing 6 other things!
Thanks for any advice!
