2. Using a hand suction gun filled with mineral spirits, reverse flush the cooler. Force mineral spirits into the From Cooler line of the cooler and
catch the exiting spirits from the To Cooler line. Observe for the presence of debris in the exiting fluid. Continue until fluid exiting is clear and
free from debris.
3. Using compressed air (under 40 psi) in intermittens spurts, blow any remaining mineral spirits from the cooler, again in the reverse direction.
4. Pump one (1) quart of automatic transmission fluid through the cooler before reconnecting.
5. If at any stage of the cleaning process, the cooler does not freely pass fluid, the cooler must be replaced.
OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK
After the new or repaired transmission has been installed and filled, the oil cooler flow should be checked using the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the From Cooler line at the transmission and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.
2. Run the engine at curb idle speed, with the shift selector in NEUTRAL.
3. If the fluid flow is intermittent or takes more than 20 seconds to collect one quart, the cooler should be replaced.
CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level, fluid collection should not exceed (1) quart, or internal damage to the transmission may
occur.
4. If flow is found to be within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line. Then fill transaxle to the proper level, using the approved type of
automatic transmission fluid.
