Transmission Fluid Cooler
Transaxle Cooling
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material may have been carried into the torque
converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transaxle troubles and must be removed from the system
before the transaxle is put back into use. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning See: Service and
Repair/Procedures/Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE: The selector lever linkage, selector lever cable adjustment, transmission fluid level and line pressure must be within specification before
carrying out this test. Refer to Automatic Transmission/Transaxle for selector lever linkage and selector lever cable adjustment and refer to Special
Testing Procedures See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Special Testing Procedures
for line pressure test. The transmission fluid must be above 82°C (180°F) for the cooler by-pass to open to carry out this test.
1. Using a scan tool, run the engine to establish the correct transmission fluid temperature of 82°C (180°F).
