7. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C (149°F) using "HOT" range on A/T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
^
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
^
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level
gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.
^
If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
^
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent and compressed air
after repair of A/T.
