SUBJECT:
4EAT ATF AUXILIARY FILTER KIT AND HOSE INSTALLATION
An Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter has been introduced for installation on Subaru SVX models. The filter traps ATF contaminants which may cause
sticking of the spool valves in the transmission. This results in deterioration of gear shift characteristics, for example: shift shock or delayed upshifts. The
modified hoses ensure a more positive fit to prevent hose seepage.
The filter is designed to be maintenance free under normal driving conditions. It will not require periodic replacement. The only time replacement is
necessary is in case of a transmission failure which leads to excessive metal contamination of the fluid.
CAUTION:
When installing this kit, it is important to install all hoses in their correct positions. Failure to do so may result in major internal damage to the
transmission.

No special tools are required, only the following hand tools: a tray or catch pan for drained ATF, # 2 Phillips screwdriver, 3/8 drive torque wrench, 318
