CAUTION: Flush with clean transmission fluid only. Do not use solvents, mineral spirits or water-based cleaners.
NOTE: Rubber hoses must be attached to the ends of the fluid cooler tubes, to aid in connecting them to the cleaner.
Backflush any contaminants from the oil-to-air cooler by connecting the flushing machine pressure line to the transmission fluid cooler outlet tube
and the return line to the transmission fluid cooler inlet tube.
After 5 minutes, stop the machine, reverse the hoses and repeat the flushing.

Using compressed air, blow through the coolers until all fluid is removed.
