bearing, etc. is required, the transaxle will have to be removed for service. At this time the torque converter, cooler, and oil cooler tubes must be
thoroughly flushed to remove any contamination. When used after 30,000 miles under continuous or severe conditions, the transaxle and torque
converter should be drained and refilled with automatic transaxle fluid.
