Clean and deburr the cut end of the transmission fluid cooler tube.
5. NOTE: Be sure the transmission fluid cooler tube is fully seated in the body of the fitting before final tightening of the ferrule nut.
Install the tubing ferrule hose assembly connector onto the end of the transmission fluid cooler tube. Finger-tighten the ferrule nut, then tighten the
nut an additional 1-1/2 turns to seat the ferrule in the connector.
6. Remove the section of the transmission fluid cooler hose as illustrated.
7. CAUTION: The transmission fluid cooler filter has a bypass valve in it. The red arrow on the transmission fluid filter indicates the
direction of transmission fluid flow through the filter. The transmission fluid filter must be installed in the transmission fluid cooler
return line with the red arrow on the transmission fluid filter pointing away from the transmission fluid cooler and toward the
transmission (the transmission fluid return line has transmission fluid coming out of the transmission fluid cooler going to the
transmission). If the transmission fluid filter is not installed correctly, it will cause internal transmission damage.
CAUTION: Do not install any transmission fluid cooler hoses or transmission fluid cooler tubes with a bend entering the transmission
fluid filter greater than 60 degrees. Doing so can block transmission fluid flow and cause internal transmission damage.
