Carefully position your oil pan under the Jeep and remove two of four remaining bolts on one side of the Jeep. Chances are that the transmission pan will simply stay put – held on by the gasket, but be ready for a torrent of transmission fluid.


Once I was down to two bolts, I had to beat on the pan with a rubber hammer, then carefully pry it open with a screwdriver (don’t gouge the metal!). The slower you go here the better. Once you have enough of the fluid out, remove the pan.
