The gasket is for the pan and the filter will be seen once the pan is off (only for sure on the D1). Also on the D1 you must remove the cat y-pipe and frame cross member to get the pan off.   Daniel Covaciu (Danielcovaciu) Senior Member Username: Danielcovaciu Post Number: 261 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, June 09, 2003 - 06:09 pm:    The D2 does not have a transmision dipstick like the D1 does. That would be making things too easy! LOL   Brian Dickens (Bri) Senior Member Username: Bri Post Number: 423 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 08:03 am:    How do you measure/fill it then?   Spencer Marks (Sbm) New Member Username: Sbm Post Number: 7 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 09:04 am:    From what I understand, the DII has an enclosed unit with no way to check levels. I assume that after dropping pan and changing filter, there must be some type of pipe fitting, etc. that you fill on the side of the unit.   Chris Browne (Chris_browne) Member Username: Chris_browne Post Number: 144 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 09:07 am:    Thats why they are called sealed for life   Erik G. Burrows (Erik) Member Username: Erik Post Number: 225 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 02:47 pm:    The shop manual for my '00 DII states that the procedure for changing the fluid is to drain it, via the drain hole, then drop the pan to change the filter. It is refilled by a fill/level hole, to which you pump fluid while it's running, and shifting through gears. If you'd like me to post the whole procedure, I will. It's time for the fluid change on my truck also (which is called for once in the vehicle's lifetime, at 60k miles) but I'm thinking about having a dealer/shop do it, just from the pain-in-the-ass factor.   Erik G.

Dealer will eat your lunch for such a simple task. Changing the filter, little more time intensive but not a technical or mechanical challenge with the right tools.   Tam Nguyen (Nvhbdisco2) New Member Username: Nvhbdisco2 Post Number: 13 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 07:15 am:    Erick, I am wanting to tackle this at my local garage. Is it to much for you to fax me the instructions\drawings from the shop manual? thanks. tam   Tam Nguyen (Nvhbdisco2) New Member Username: Nvhbdisco2 Post Number: 14 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:09 am:    "bump"   Tam Nguyen (Nvhbdisco2) New Member Username: Nvhbdisco2 Post Number: 16 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 10:37 am:    Anyone out there that can help me with this?   Hunter Louis (Hglouis) Member Username: Hglouis Post Number: 45 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:01 pm:    Would someone want to post how to do the ATF and filter replacement for a D1 and D2 on in the tech section? I've been wanting to do this for a while but only have a haynes which says "take it to the dealer!"
