CAUTION: Lubricate the fluid filter seals with clean automatic transmission fluid or they may be damaged.
NOTE: Make sure that the fluid filter seals are correctly seated on the filter.
NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive
strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts (either soft or firm) and this is a temporary condition
and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
NOTE: Clean the area around the connector to prevent contamination of the solenoid body connector.
NOTE: The transmission fluid pan gasket is reusable. Clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the gasket should be reused.
