Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning
NOTICE: The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the
Material specification and/or the transmission fluid level indicator for the correct fluid. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this
transaxle and torque converter being serviced.
NOTICE: Do not mix Mercon(R) V or Mercon(R) LV transmission fluid. This may cause erratic shift feel, erratic shift timing and/or
transmission failure.
NOTE: Transmission fluid application:
-
Early build vehicles require MERCON(R) V
-
Late build vehicles require MERCON(R) LV
NOTE: Transmission fluid cooler backflushing will be carried out using the Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions included with the machine. Test the equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid flow is present before proceeding.
1. Check and top off fluid level of the Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher tank with transmission fluid.
2. Allow the fluid in the flusher 15-30 minutes to heat up to 60°C (140°F) before using.
3. Install the line adapters on the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
4. NOTE: The FRONT transmission fluid cooler tube on the thermal bypass valve is the transmission fluid cooler pressure tube.
Attach the flusher's red line to the transmission fluid cooler pressure tube quick disconnect fitting.
5. Attach the flusher's blue line to the transmission fluid cooler return tube quick disconnect fitting.
6. Follow the equipment instructions to purge the transmission fluid cooler tubes and transmission fluid cooler prior to starting the flushing
procedure.
7. Allow the transmission fluid cooling system to backflush for 10-15 minutes, then flush the transmission fluid cooler in a normal flow direction for
an additional 10-15 minutes.
8. Clean the transaxle mounted fluid cooler tubes and the thermal bypass valve by hand.
