5
Turn the switch off after 15 minutes then reverse the flusher lines.
6
Switch the flusher pump on and allow it to run for 15 minutes.
7
Disconnect the flusher pressure line and blow air through the line until the fluid is drained back into the flusher.
8
Disconnect the flusher return line.
6. Remove the remote filter housing (if equipped) and make sure the bypass orifice is free of foreign material.
7. Clean the filter magnet and reinstall it along with a new filter (if equipped).
8. Install the remote filter housing (if equipped).

9. Install a new in-line filter if equipped. Install the in-line filter kit if the vehicle was not equipped with the kit.
Procedure for using a flush and fill machine
CAUTION: Whenever the transmission has been serviced or a remanufactured transmission has been installed, the transmission fluid cooler
tubes and the remote filter manifold (if equipped) must be cleaned and backflushed to remove any contaminants or transmission failure will
occur.
NOTE: Install a new oil-to-air (OTA) cooler as part of a transmission overhaul, or when installing a remanufactured transmission.
NOTE: Early build transmissions are equipped with a remote transmission fluid filter which is located on the driver side rear of the transmission.
When carrying out an overhaul or installing a remanufactured transmission, a new filter element must be installed.
NOTE: Repeat repairs will occur if the transmission fluid flow does not meet specification. To avoid repeat repairs, carry out the fluid cooler flow
test. For additional information, refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler. See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Torqshift Automatic Transmission/Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE: Carry out this procedure with the oil-to-air (OTA) cooler and the transmission removed from the vehicle.
NOTE: Leave the remote filter lines connected.
1. Using a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner, flush the transmission fluid cooler and tubes.
2. If equipped, remove and discard the transmission fluid in-line filter.
3. Remove the remote filter element.
4. CAUTION: The transmission cooler tubes must be disconnected prior to flushing out the cooler tubes.
If equipped, disconnect the 4 transmission fluid cooler tubes at the remote filter housing.
5. Leave the transmission fluid cooler tubes disconnected from the transmission case.
6. Disconnect both transmission fluid cooler tubes from the radiator in-tank cooler.
7. Flush each transmission fluid cooler tube independently.
8. Connect the cleaner pressure and return lines correctly.
1
Connect the pressure line-to-fluid cooler inlet tube.
2
Connect the return line-to-fluid cooler outlet tube.
3
Place the outlet end of the return line in the fluid tank reservoir.
9. NOTE: Cycling the solvent pump on and off will help dislodge contaminants in the cooler system.
Switch the pump ON. Allow the fluid to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes.
10. Switch the pump OFF.
11. Disconnect the cleaner pressure line at the fluid cooler tube.
12. Using compressed air, blow through the fluid cooler inlet tube until all fluid is removed.
13. Remove the rubber hoses from fluid cooler tubes.
