Tools Required
Important: This procedure should be performed before
installing the transaxle.
- Inspect the equipment for wear and cracks before using it. Replace any worn
or cracked components.
- Using the measuring cup, fill the SA9165T
with 0.7 oz (21 oz), approximately 2/3 full of J 35944-22
. Do not substitute with
any other fluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluid container.
- Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the flusher with compressed
air to 550-829 kPa (5.6-8.45 kgf/cm , 80-120 psi).
The air line should be equipped with a water trap to ensure a dry air system.
- Hang the flusher under the vehicle.
- Attach the flusher discharge hose to the return line of the ATF cooler
using a clamp.
- Connect the drain hose to the inlet line on the ATF cooler using a clamp.
Securely clamp the opposite end of the drain hose to a bucket or floor drain.
- With the water and air valves off, attach the water and air supplies to
the flusher. Use hot water, if available.
- Turn on the water valve for 10 seconds. If water does not flow
through the cooler, it is completely plugged, cannot be flushed, and must be replaced.
- Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into the water flow. Use
the wire clip to hold the trigger down.
- While flushing with the water and flushing fluid for 2 minutes,
turn the air valve on for 5 seconds every 15-20 seconds to create
a surging action.
Specification
Maximum air pressure: 845 kPa (8.45 kgf/cm,
120 psi)
- Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, then reverse the hoses
to the cooler so you can flush in the opposite direction. Repeat steps 8-10.
- Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with water for 1 minute.
- Turn the water valve and the water supply off.
- Turn the air valve on for 2 minutes, or until no moisture is visible
leaving the drain hose. Residual moisture in the cooler or lines can damage the transaxle.
- Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach the drain hose to an ATF
container.
- Install the transaxle, and leave the drain hose attached to the cooler
line.
- Ensure the transaxle is in position. Fill the transaxle with ATF, and
run the engine for 30 seconds or until approximately 32 oz (1 qt)
is discharged.
- Remove the drain hose, and connect the cooler return hose to the transaxle.
- Fill the transaxle with ATF, to the proper level.
