Transmission Cooler: Service and Repair
Oil Cooler Flushing
OIL COOLER FLUSHING
Caution:
-
Power flushing should be performed very carefully when removing the accumulated debris from the fluid baffle, otherwise the debris cannot be
removed or the problem becomes even worse.
Note:
-
The contaminated cooler line (oil pipes and hoses) and auxiliary cooler (if equipped) must be flushed completely when ATX is overhauled or
replaced.
1. Remove the two oil cooler line hoses and apply air pressure of 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) from the return hose (pipe) side.
-
If there is no ventilation, flush the oil cooler lines using the power-flushing tool.
-
If there is ventilation, go to next step.
Recommended power-flushing manufacturer
2. Carry out the following steps.
1) Remove the oil pan and inspect the oil strainer.
-
If the element is covered with too much debris or particles and cannot be seen, replace the oil cooler.
-
If the element can be seen, flush the oil cooler lines using the power-flushing tool.
Note:
-
Performing back and reverse power flushing two times each does not work because debris or particles flow out from the feed pipe side of
ATX.
Power Flushing
Repair procedure
1. Before power flushing, inspect the hoses/lines and clamps. Power flushing must begin with back flushing followed by forward flushing to
quickly dislodge the restriction. If back flushing is not performed before forward flushing, the restriction could further reduce the ATF flow
through the internal mesh type baffle of the cooler and flushing will not be effective or possible.
Inspecting oil lines & clamps
1. Be sure to inspect the lines (hoses/pipes) for cuts, crimps (pinched), cracks or any other damage before reusing them. If any problem exists
replace it.
