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.
FLOW TESTING TRANSMISSION MAIN
COOLER
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 fit-
ting.
(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.
TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE FITTINGS
Quick connect fittings are used at the transmission
cooler line connections. The fitting seals and guides
are serviceable.
Replace the seals and guides whenever the fittings
exhibit leakage, or will not properly snap into place.

(13) Remove transfer case from transmission.
(14) Disconnect and remove crankshaft position
sensor (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: The crankshaft position sensor can be
damaged during transmission removal (or installa-
tion) if the sensor is still bolted to the engine block.
To avoid damage, remove the sensor before remov-
ing the transmission.
(15) Remove starter motor.
(16) Remove bolts attaching converter to drive
plate.
(17) Remove bolts attaching converter housing to
engine.

and seat tool in one-way clutch (Fig. 3).
(2) Insert Stopper Tool 7548 in one converter hub
notch and into outer race of rotating tool.
(3) Turn rotating tool clockwise. Converter clutch
should rotate freely and smoothly. Less than 2.5 Nzm
(22 in. lbs.) of torque should be required to rotate
clutch in clockwise direction.
(4) Turn rotating tool in counterclockwise direction.
Converter clutch should lock.
(5) Replace converter if clutch binds or will not
lock.
OIL PUMP SEAL REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove converter.
(2) Remove old seal. Use blunt punch to collapse
seal and pry seal out of pump housing. Do not
scratch or damage seal bore.
