"Transmission Fluid Condition, Check"
Note: A check of the
colour and smell of the automatic transmission fluid provides
initial diagnostic data on the condition of the mechanical
components of the automatic transmission.
- Vehicle positioned horizontally.
- Parking brake applied.
- Brake pedal applied.
- Engine runs warm at idle speed.
- Shift selector lever once through all positions from P to 1 and
back again to P.
- Engine OFF.
- Drain small quantities of transmission fluid and fill into
glass.
Check colour and smell of drained transmission fluid:
- For red, clear transmission fluid without particles, continue
trouble-shooting according to Checking Procedure "AR 25/35
Automatic 4-Speed Transmission Omega-B."
- With brown/black cloudy transmission fluid that smells of
burning, it is recommended that the transmission is disassembled to
check the lining plates of the respective clutches or brake and to
replace them if necessary (AR 25/35 only).
- If there is a high percentage of metal particles in the
transmission fluid then it is recommended that the transmission be
replaced with one that has been overhauled.
