Chevy Spark/Beat Transmission Fluid Change
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- In this video, I remove the old CVT fluid my mechanic put into the spark incorrectly and I replace it with GM OEM fluid purchased from Amazon. These Jatco Transmission have a history of failing, and I hope I can keep mine running as long as possible. Feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you for the video. I have a 2016 with 151k. Miles and just realized I need to change the transmission oil. Feel more confident now.
Wow you late. So what happened?
@@asmokingp3005no idea on when or how to even change the cvt oil till this video came along a year ago, before it was all in indian langue
Thank you so much for making this video. Was having a hard time finding an easy how to on this make model transmission change. And it was straight to the point, love it.
That is just a strainer on the bottom of the valve body according to GM, there is a actual filter on the side of the transmission, it's just behind the main harness connectors on the transmission. It's a single bolt holding in the metal cup that goes around it. Just do some wiggling and it'll come out. Just FYI other manufactures like Valvoline make clear CVT fluid, your fluid looked brand new so someone had taken good care of that car fluid wise.
thank you for thata heads up!
2013 did not have the paper filter. That started in 2014. There are good YT videos on this filter change for Mitsubishi Mirage CVTs. Basically the same transmission.
Thanks for doing this. I have a 15' chevy spark as well, with 85,000 miles and no transmission fluid replacement. I'm gonna do it myself and this was very helpful.
Yeah I would buy 6.5 quarts to be safe for your replacement because what you pull out is what you should put back in. I pulled out 4.2 quarts for some reason but websites are saying 6.5? Just double check your fluid level.
85k ? Isn't it too late?
@@CasaDeLaRazathe other 2 quarts are in the torque converter.
thats because the torque converter insist drained your stuck with about 1 1/2 q of old fluid@@CasaDeLaRaza
Did mine @ 50 k 6 years old (not many miles because being a truck driver) I drive it more now so I'm going to change it about every 25,000 MI. .. no issues or codes so far... Remember to drive easy don't step on it every time you take off like all the other drivers.
I have had my 2014 chevy spark for 6 years and the tranny keeps going out of it,these cars are junk and I will never own another one, when chevy can decide that they can actually make good cars again then I might get another chevy but not until then.
I have a 2016 spark Korean GM version and I have a question, I wanted to check the oil level in the automatic transmission box but the dipstick is very short, it is barely 2 inches long, how do I check the level if it doesn't even reach the bottom of the filling tube??? When comparing it with other models, they come with the longest rod and when I check the part number, it offers me the one with the short rod.
Tengo un spark 2016 versión coreana GM y tengo una duda, quería verificar el nivel del aceite de la caja de transmision automática pero la varilla es muy corta apenas mide 2 pulgadas de largo, como hago para verificar el nivel si ni siquiera llega al fondo del tubo de llenado???
Al compararlo con otros modelos traen la varilla más larga y al consultar el número de pieza me ofrece la que trae varilla corta.
I was worried about having my 2017 serviced at 48k miles. But if yours and others lasted that long between changes I should have no problems having mine serviced and it still continue to function as normal. I've had really bad experiences with transmissions in the past an having them serviced and never pull out again
There is a drain hole at the bottom with a overfill tube.. you fill it till it comes out of the overfill tube , the dip stick isint really a dipstick 2016 spark LT
What year Chevy Spark was that? My fiancée's 2015 spark's dipstick is much shorter. Yours seems to have markings to check the level of fluid.
My 2015 CVT also didn’t have any length to the dipstick.
I heard that they just ran out of dipsticks during production 😅
You should also change the small round transmission filter on the side of the transmission.
I didn't even know there was one there.

I thought about the poster changing the second filter also.
I did the fluid drain and square filter swap recently and just found out by this comment about the round filter, any of you know if it is needed to drain again to swap the round filter? or vould I just do it without taking any fluid out?
I want to know too!@@rogvelsan
I need to know how to remove the valve body from that transmission and remove the long screws that it has but it doesn't come off.
Im not sure. I was only changing the fluid. More complex work should be taken to a mechanic
Hi from NYC! thank you so much! I need to do it at 110k miles I think
a few days I felt my spark jerking when changing gears and a delay in response today it simply stopped, it only works in gear 1 and 2 and it doesn't go over 30 mi/hr I think my transmission stopped, that's because a few days ago I went to 2 mechanics and asked me they said there was no way to check the transmission level or put a new fluid because the transmission was sealed from the factory, today I have a problem because the mechanic didn't help me a few days ago when I needed it, maybe I ran low on oil or nothing, thanks I don't know what what to do my chevy is stopped
Same for me looking to pay the 3000 to replace transmission cvt sucks every body with sparks and other makes and models with same transmission are having isdues
I think I’m in this sane boat
Not the best to be in
Where is the tranmission switch?
Damn! I'm afraid I came here a little too late. My 2014 Chevy Spark tranny just failed, It started jerking and struggling to change gears and now just stopped a few blocks from my house. I found this video and wanted to change the fluid but I can't get the dipstick out. I've been trying for two days and i'm frustrated. Every video that I see for this car model, the person posting it doesn't show the tab of the dipstick, and I need to see where is the tab and how to release it.
Use a right angle tool
I’ll make a video
There may be a recall on your older Chevy spark I heard there is and they replaced total cost zero out of pocket
Very informative. Do you still have the spark? We have one and are worried about the longevity of the cvt. If you still have the car how many miles do you have on it if you don't mind me asking . Just trying to Guage the life of our automobile lol
I'm at 95,000 miles right now. Going to keep it till it dies. Most cars should last till 200,000 miles though.
My 2016 spark I bought new has 137,000 miles now and the CVT has just started acting up
@@zacharypeery4082did you ever change the trabsfluid
This isn't the CVT is it. I got a 2020 and I can't figure out what transmission I have
@@Dtr146 you have the cvt if you don’t have the manual
@@CasaDeLaRaza That's what I figured but I didn't know since your car is quite a bit older than mine. And there's so much conflicting information out there. I got the 2022. I've taken a lot of road trips. My CVT is starting to slip. So I am trying to do the change myself but I'm not even sure what kind of transmission fluid I'm supposed to be using because some people are saying it's red some people are saying it's blue other people are saying it's green. And then looking it up online doesn't give me Jack either because even the stuff from advance Auto parts isn't the stuff that's supposed to go in my car from what everybody else is saying
@@CasaDeLaRaza One last question. What model spark do you have in this video?
@@Dtr146 2015
@@CasaDeLaRaza I'm trying to find a dipstick for my spark so I can show the dealership that there's nowhere near enough transmission fluid in my spark. I You can't find one anywhere. All the ones I can find on Amazon or eBay are aftermarket necks with a stupid little stick in it or a dipstick that is too long.
Isn't there a second upper filter?
i took the dipstick out to check the transmission oil level and i was scared the dipstick is only 2 inches in size and is quite different from yours now i don't know how to check the level, my chevy spark is a 2015 too . Help me
Sounds about right. Some people are saying the dip stick is tiny and idk why
Some people have short ones. Idk why either. 2 inches isn't very long.@@CasaDeLaRaza
on my 2016 the dip stick in just a little nudge, the way you tell if its full is the drain plug at the bottom there is another tube inside of that you fill it till it stops coming out of the drain plug, if you were to just remove the drain plug to drain your fluid it would not drain, you would have to remove the tube under the drain plug witch is a Allen key i believe
is this the same procedure like the newer models 2016+?
I can’t speak to that really. I made this video so that if somone wanted to see what it takes to work on the spark, they could reference it. I would look up the required fluid and figure out if you have the tools to work on the vehicle
I bought mine new 2019,mine has 130000 miles imma change filter and new cvt fluid
How did it work out for you? Any issues after changing the fluid. I plan on buying a 2021 with 60k miles and doing the filter and fluid change.
No pan gasket!? I’ve never heard of such a thing, what keeps it from leaking everywhere?
No idea!
Oh yeah good job on video
My 2017 has 150500 as of today. It had a new transmission put in it at 90k
I have 128000 miles in my Chevrolet Spark 2014, I bought it 6 months ago and I don’t know he changed transmission fluid. But now i have 128000 miles on it do you guys recommend me change transmission fluid.
whenever you get a used car consider changing fluids for peace of mind.
Should I change transmission oil at 73k miles on my 2017 chevy spark?
I heard you should change it every 30 to 40,000 mi or every 2 years .amsoil technician.. has video for a Chevy spark and he flushes out the CVT
@@bryanhines34 okay, in that case I'm surprised I haven't had any issues yet. Thanks
