TRANSMISSION COOLER REVERSE FLUSHING
The transmission main cooler is located in the ra-
diator lower tank. The cooler is not a serviceable
component. If the cooler is damaged in any way, the
radiator will have to be replaced.
On models with an auxiliary cooler, the cooler is
mounted in front of the radiator or air conditioningFig. 18 Speedometer Components (With Two-Piece

condenser. The auxiliary cooler is a serviceable com-
ponent and can be repaired if necessary.
The main and auxiliary coolers should be thor-
oughly reverse flushed if a transmission failure
contaminates the fluid. Reverse flushing the cooler
and lines will prevent sludge and particles from
flowing back into the transmission after repair.
The same flushing procedure is used for main and
auxiliary coolers. Pressure equipment is preferred for
reverse flushing. However, reverse flushing can be
performed using hand operated equipment as de-
scribed in the following procedure.
REVERSE FLUSHING PROCEDURE
(1) Disconnect cooler lines at transmission. Refer
to Figure 21 for cooler line fitting identification.
Front fitting is outlet to cooler and rear fitting is in-
let from cooler.
(2) Position drain pan under cooler outlet line to
material flushed through cooler and lines.
(3) Reverse flush cooler using hand operated suc-
tion gun filled with mineral spirits. Insert gun nozzle
(or hose) into cooler inlet (return) line. Then force
mineral spirits through Line and cooler.
(4) Continue reverse flushing until fluid exiting in-
let (pressure) line is clear and free of debris/residue.
Replace radiator if fluid cannot be pumped
through cooler.
(5) Clear flushing materials from cooler and lines
with short pulses of compressed air. Insert air gun
nozzle into cooler inlet (return) line and continue
short pulses of air until all fluid is cleared from
cooler and lines.
(6) Pump one quart of fresh automatic transmis-
sion fluid through cooler and lines before reconnect-
ing cooler lines.
TRANSMISSION COOLER FLOW TESTING
The transmission main and auxiliary coolers
should be flow tested whenever a fluid overheat con-
dition is suspected. An overheat condition is indi-
cated when the fluid changes from the normal red, to
a dark orange, or brown color.
The same method of flow testing is used for both
coolers.Cooler flow is checked by measuring the amount of
fluid flow through the cooler in a 20 second time pe-
riod. The test is performed with the engine running
and transmission in neutral. Fluid is then pumped
through the cooler by the transmission oil pump.
(1) Disconnect cooler inlet line at transmission fitting.
(2) Securely attach hose to end of inlet line and po-
sition line in a one quart test container.
(3) Add extra quart of fluid to transmission.
(4) Use stopwatch to check flow test time.
(5) Shift transmission into neutral and set parking
brake.
(6) Start and run engine at curb idle speed and im-
mediately note cooler flow. Approximately one quart of
fluid should flow into test container in 20 second period.
(7) If cooler flow is intermittent, flows less than
one quart in 20 seconds, or does not flow at all,
cooler is faulty and must be replaced.
SERVICING TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND
FITTINGS
Fitting Types
The transmission cooler lines are attached with
quick disconnect fittings.
A flange on the cooler line serves as the sealing
mechanism. The wire retainer clip (Fig. 22), secures
the cooler line in the fitting by this flange. The clip
fits behind the flange to hold the line in place.
Three different fitting styles may be used. Type 1
fittings have the retainer clip exposed (Fig. 22). Type
2 fittings have the retainer clip and fitting body en-
cased in a shrink wrap material (Fig. 23). Type 3 fit-
tings have the retainer clip encased in a metal sleeve
crimped onto the fitting body (Fig. 24).
Fitting Release Tool
A release tool isrequiredto disconnect each of the
fitting types. A plastic tool is clipped directly to one
of the cooler lines on models with the type 2 and 3
fittings. This tool can also be used to disconnect type
1 fittings. The tool is needed to spread the wire re-
tainer clip in each fitting. The clip must be opened in
order to release the cooler line from the fitting.

TRANSMISSION COOLER SERVICE
Main Cooler
The transmission main cooler is located in the ra-
diator. The main cooler can be flushed when neces-
sary, however, the cooler is not a repairable
component. If the cooler is damaged, plugged, or
leaking, the radiator will have to be replaced.
Auxiliary Cooler
The auxiliary cooler is mounted in front of the ra-
diator at the driver side of the vehicle (Fig. 48). The
cooler can be flushed when necessary, while mounted
in the vehicle. The cooler can also be removed for ac-
cess, repair, or replacement as needed.
The main and auxiliary coolers should both be
flushed whenever a transmission or converter clutch
malfunction generates sludge, debris, or particles of
clutch friction material.
Cooler Service
The main cooler (and radiator) and the auxiliary
cooler can be removed for service or access to other
components. Auxiliary cooler removal requires that
the front bumper and radiator support be removed
for access to the cooler lines and attaching bracket.
REVERSE FLUSHING MAIN AND AUXILIARY
COOLERS AND COOLER LINES
Reverse flushing the cooler and lines will prevent
sludge and particles from flowing back into the
transmission after repair. The flushing procedure ap-
plies to standard (in-radiator) coolers and auxiliary
coolers equally.
Pressure equipment is preferred for reverse flush-
ing. However, reverse flushing can be performed us-
ing hand operated equipment as described in the
following procedure.
(1) Disconnect cooler lines at transmission and at
auxiliary cooler (Figs. 48 and 49).
(2) Position drain pan under cooler line to catch
material flushed through coolers and lines.
(3) Reverse flush each cooler using hand operated
suction gun filled with mineral spirits. Insert gun
nozzle (or hose) into cooler inlet (return) line. Then
force mineral spirits through into line and through
cooler.(4) Continue reverse flushing until fluid exiting in-
let (pressure) line is clear and free of debris/residue.
(5) Replace radiator if fluid cannot be pumped
through main cooler. Replace auxiliary cooler if leaks
are evident, or if fluid cannot be pumped through it.
(6) Clear flushing materials from coolers and lines
with short pulses of compressed air. Insert air gun
nozzle into cooler inlet (return) line and continue
short pulses of air until all fluid is cleared from
cooler and lines.
(7) Pump one quart of fresh automatic transmis-
sion fluid through cooler and lines before reconnect-
ing cooler lines.
