S!@ ro prevent iniury to tace and eyes, always
wear safety glas$es or a tace shield when using the trans-
mission flusher.
NOTE: This procedure should be performed before rein-
stalling the transmission.
1. Check tool and hoses for wear or cracks before
using.
lf wear or cracks are found, replace the hoses be-
fore using.
2. Using the measuring cup, tillthe tank with 21 ounces
{approximately 213 lulll of biodegradable tlushing
fluid (J35944-20). Do not substitute with any other
fluid.
Follow rhe handling procedure on the fluid container.
Secure the tlusher filler cap and pressurize the tank
with compressed air to between 550-829 kPa(5.6-8.45 kgt/cm,, 80- 120 psi),
NOTE: The air line should be equipped with a water
trap to ensure a dry air system.
Hang the tool under the vehicle.
Attach the discharge hose of the tank to the return
line of the transmission cooler using a clamp.
Connect the drain hose to the inlet line of the trans-
mission cooler using a clamp. Securely clamp the op-posite end of the drain hose to a bucket or floor drain.

8. Turn on the flusher water valve so water will tlow
through the oil cooler for 1O seconds. lf water does
not flow through the oil cooler it is completely
plugged, cannot be flushed, and must be replaced.
9. Depress the trigger to mix the tlushing lluid into the
water tlow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger
oown.
10. While flushing with the water and flushing fluid for
2 minutes. turn the air valve on for 5 seconds every
15-20 seconds to create a surging action.

1 1. Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, then
reverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush in
the opposite direction. Repeat steps 8 through 1O.
12. Release the trigger and allow water only to rinse the
cooler with water for one minute.
13. Turn the water valve off and turn off the water
supply.
14. Turn the air valve on to dry the system out with air
for two full minutes or until no moisture is visible
leaving the drain hose.
CAUTION: Residual moisture in the oil cooler 01
pipes can damage the transmission.
15. Remove the flusher trom the cooler line. Attach the
drain hose 10 a oil container.
16. lnstallthe transmission and leave the drain hose at-
tached to the cooler line.

Description
Outline
The air conditioner system delivers cooled air into the passenger compartment by circulating refrigerant through the sys-
tem as shown below.
CONDENSOR
This car uses HFC-134a {R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons Pay attention to the following
service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-I2 (R-l21 and HFC-134a (R-134a) They are not compatible'
. Use onty the recommended potyatkytenegtycol {PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38899-PR7-A01) designed for the R-
134a compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refrigerant oil will result in com-
pressor tailure.

. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a'
. R-.12 and C-l34a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Only use a Recovery/Recyclins/Charging
System that is U.L.-listed and is certifLd to meet the requirements of sAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning sys-
rems.
. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved Recover/Recycling/Charging System before disconnecting any

A/C Service Tips and Precautions
The air conditioner system uses HFC-134a (R-134a) .efrigerant and polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) retrigerant oil (ND-OIL g: p/N
38899 - PR7 - A0l ), which are not compatible with CFC-12 \R-'12) refrigerant and mineral oil. Do not use R-12 refrigerant ormineral oil in this system, and do not attempt to use R-'12 servicing equipment; damage to the air conditioner system oryour servicing equipment will result.
only use service equipment that is u.L,-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of sAE J2210 to remove R-134afrom the air conditioner svstem.
CAUTION: Exposure lo air conditioner refrigorant and lubricanl vapor or mi3t cln irritato gyos, nose and throat. Avoidbreathing lhe air conditioner refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area befor€ resuming service.R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressedair.
@ some mirtures of air and R-l3ifa have been 3hown to be combu3tible at slsvated prossuros and can relultin fire or explosion causing inlury or property damage. Never use complessod ai. to prgssure t€|st R-134a service equip-ment or vehicle air conditiongr systems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.'1. Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery whenever replacing air conditioning pans.
2. Keep moisture and dust out of the system. When disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings immediately; don'tremove the caps or plugs until just before you reconnect each line.
3. Before con necting a ny hose or line, apply a few drops of refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38899 - PR7 - AO1) to the O-ring.4. When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a second wrench to support the matching fitting.5. When recovering the system, use a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System; don't release refrigerantinto the atmosDhere.
6. Add refrigerant oil (ND-OlL 8: P/N 38899 - PR7 - A01) after replacing the following parts:
NOTE:
. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refriqer-ant orls.
. lmmediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container and seal ittoavoid moisture absorption,. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the car; it may damage the paint; if the re{rigerant oil contacts the paint, wash itoff immediately.

8ge, replace the clutch set.
Check the pulley bearing play and drag by rotating
the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new
one if it is noisv or has excessive play/drag
Measure the clearance betlveen the pulley and the
pressure plate all the way around. lf the clearance is
not within specified limits, the pressure plate must be
removed and shims added or removed as required.
