Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair
Torqshift - Automatic Transaxle/Transmission
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
Removal
1. Remove the transmission fluid pan gasket and filter.
2. Disconnect the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor electrical connector.
3. Press the tab, rotate the sensor counterclockwise and pull out.
4. Inspect the O-ring. If the O-ring is damaged install a new TFT sensor.
Installation
High Efficiency Sump Filter (HESF)
CAUTION: The remote filter and the previous design sump filter are both replaced by a high efficiency sump filter (HESF), which requires a
wider and deeper bottom pan. Always pair the sump filter with the correct bottom pan design, to avoid cavitation, filter cracking and
transmission damage.
