2. Place funnel in fluid filler tube.
3. Position the vehicle on a hoist.
4. Remove the cooler return line (top fitting) from the fitting on the transmission case.
5. Connect one end of a hose to the cooler return line and route other end of the hose up to a point where it can be inserted into the funnel at the fluid
filler tube.
6. Remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle. Insert end of hose into the funnel.
7. Start the engine and run it at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL.
8. When fluid flows from the hose in a steady stream, a liberal amount of fluid should be observed. "Liberal" is about 1 liter (1 quart) delivered in
15 seconds. If a liberal flow is observed, the test is complete.
9. If the flow is not liberal, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the cooler return line and connect it to the converter outlet fitting (bottom
fitting) on the transmission case.
10. Repeat steps 6 and 7. If flow is now approximately 1 liter (1 quart) in 15 seconds, refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler- Backflushing and
Cleaning. If the flow is still not approximately 1 liter (1 quart) in 15 seconds, repair or install pump and or converter.
For the installation of new transmission fluid cooler or tubes.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Leaks at Radiator
Transmission Fluid Cooler Leaks at Radiator
Transmission fluid may leak between the radiator transmission fluid cooler and the transmission fluid cooler fitting (not the cooler line into the fitting),
which may result in a residue of transmission fluid on the radiator tank around the fluid cooler fitting. Insufficient thread sealer on the transmission
fluid cooler fitting may cause this.
1. Clean the area around the transmission fluid cooler fittings.
2. Verify that transmission fluid is leaking between the transmission fluid cooler and the transmission fluid cooler fitting (not the transmission fluid
cooler line fitting into the transmission fluid cooler fitting).
3. Remove the radiator from the vehicle and place it on a flat surface with the transmission fluid cooler fittings facing upward.
4. CAUTION: Oil-based solvents and cleaners should not be used when cleaning the radiator. Oil-based solvents and cleaners can damage the
