with a suitable tool, and discard the oil filter seals from the bottom of the oil pump. If the seals are installed correctly and are in good condition,
they can be reused.

INSPECTION
Inspect the bottom of the oil pan and magnet for excessive amounts of metal. A light coating of clutch material on the bottom of the oil pan does not
indicate a problem unless accompanied by a slipping condition or shift lag. If fluid and oil pan are contaminated with excessive amounts of debris, refer
to the diagnosis section.
CLEANING
1. Using a suitable solvent, clean the oil pan and magnet.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The primary and auxiliary oil filter seals MUST be fully installed flush against the oil pump body. DO NOT install the seals onto
the filter neck and attempt to install the filter and seal as an assembly. Damage to the transmission will result.
1. If necessary, install new primary (2) and auxiliary (2) oil filter seals in the oil pump inlet bore. Seat the seal in the bore with Installer 6960 or
another suitable tool (appropriately sized drift or socket, the butt end of a hammer etc.).
2. Place new primary (2) and auxiliary (3) oil filters in position on valve body and into the oil pump.
