Flush the oil cooler and the lines following a breakdown
of the transmission in order to eliminate contaminated oil. This helps prevent
trouble after repairs of the transmission have been made.
- Disconnect the oil cooler lines at the transmission.
- If the vehicle has an auxiliary filter, disconnect the oil cooler
return line at the auxiliary filter instead of at the transmission.
Notice: Do not exceed 689 kPa (100 psi) air pressure or damage
may result to the oil cooler.
- Back flush the oil cooler and the lines using clean mineral spirits
and compressed air.
- Flush all remaining mineral spirits from the oil cooler and the
lines using compressed air.
- Flush the oil cooler and the lines again with transmission oil.
