A/T Fluid Replacement
TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE
If you have an transmission fluid changer, use this changer to replace the transmission fluid. If you do not have an transmission fluid changer, replace
the transmission fluid by the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the hose shown in the illustration which connects the transaxle and the oil cooler (inside the radiator). Place a container under the hose
to collect the discharge.
CAUTION: The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is started. If all the transmission fluid has drained out before then, the engine
should be stopped at that point.
2. Start the engine and let the transmission fluid drain out. (Running conditions: "N" range with engine idling)
Approximately 3.5 dm3 (3.7 quarts) of transmission fluid should be removed.
3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transaxle case to drain the transmission fluid.
Approximately 2.0 dm3 (2.1 quarts) of transmission fluid should be removed.
4. Install the drain plug with a new gasket, and tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 32 ± 2 Nm (24 ft. lbs.)
CAUTION: Stop pouring if the full volume of transmission fluid cannot be added.
5. Add new transmission fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III) through the oil filter tube.
Approximately 5.5 dm3 (5.8 quarts) of transmission fluid should be added.
6. Repeat the procedure in Step 2. (to pump out the rest of the contaminated transmission fluid)
7. Add new transmission fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III) through the oil filter tube.
Approximately 3.5 dm3 (3.7 quarts) of transmission fluid should be added.
NOTE: Check for contamination or a burnt odor. If the transmission fluid is still contaminated or burnt, repeat Step 6 and 7 before proceeding to
Step 8.
