Refill the transmission with ATF {see page 14-98).
Connect the battery positive (+ ) and negative { - }cables to the battery.
Start the engine. Set the parking brake, and shift the
transmission through all gears three times.
Check shilt cable adjustment as described on page
14-176.
Check the front wheel alignment (see section 18).
Let the engine reach operating temperature (the cool-ing fan comes onl with the transmission in S or @position, then turn it off and check the fluid level.

Cooler Flushing
S@ to pttvont iniury to face and syes' always
w6ar safety glassos or a face 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 and cracks before
using. lf wear or cracks are found, replace the hoses
before using.
2. Using the measuring cup, fill the tank with 21 ounces
(approximately 2/3 full) of biodegradable tlushing
fluid {J35944-20). Do not substitute with any orher
tluid. Follow the handling procedure on the tluid
contalner.
3. Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the tank
with compressed air to between 550-829 kPa
{5.6-8.45 kgf /cm', 80- 120 Psi}.
NOTE: The air line should be equipped with a water
trap to ensure a dry air system.
4. Hang the tool under the vehicle
5. Attach the discharge hose of the tank to the return
line oI the transmission cooler using a clamp
6. Connect the drain hose to the inlet line of the trans-
mission coolel using a clamp. Securely clamp the op-
oosite end of the drain hose to a bucket or tloor drain.

7. With the water and air valves ofl, atach the water
and air supplies to the flusher. (Hot water if
available.)
8. Turn on the flusher water valve so water will flow
through the ATF cooler for 10 seconds. lf water does
not flow through the ATF cooler, it is completely
plugged, cannot be flushed, and must be replaced
9. Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into the
water flow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger
oown.
1O. While tlushing with the water and llushing f luid for
two minutes. turn the air valve on for five seconds
everv 15-20 seconds to create a surglng actlon.

1 1. Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger. then
reverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush in
the ooDosite 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 oJf 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 ATF coolei 01
pipos can damage the transmission.
15. Remove the flusher {rom the cooler line. Attach the
drain hose to a fluid contaaner.
16. Installthe transmission and leave the drain hose a1-
tached to the cooler line.

Driveshafts
Inspection
Drivcshatt Boot
Check the boots on the driveshaft tor cracks. damage,
leaking grease or loose boot bands.
lf any damage is found, replace the boot and boot
oanos.
Looso SplineE
Turn the driveshaft by hand and moke sure the splines
and joint are not excessively loose.
lf damage is found, replace the joints if necessary.
Twisled or Crscked
Make sure the driveshaft is not tlvisted or cracked.
Replace it if necessary.

1.Loosen the wheel nuts slightly,
Raise the front of ca. and support it with safety
stands in the prope. locations {see section 1).
Remove the wheel nuts and front wheels.
5.
Drain the transmission oil or fluid (see section 13 or
14t.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to drain the transmission
oil or fluid when the left driveshaft is removed.
Raise the locking tab on the spindle nut, then
remove the nut.
6. Remove the self-locking nut and flange bolts.

Remove the left driveshaft (see page 16-3).
Bemove the three dowel bolts.
Remove the intermediate sh8ft from the differential.
CAUTION: Hold the intermediate shaft horizontal
until it is clear ot th6 difforantirl to prevont damage
to thc ditf€rential oil seal.
7. Install the knuckle on the lower arm.
NOTE: Wipe off the grease before tightening the
nut at the ball joint.
CAUTION:
. Be careful not to damago the ballioint boot.
. Torque the castle nut to tho low€r torque speci-
tication, then tighten it only lar onough to align
th6 slot whh tho pin hols. Do not align the nut
by loosening.
