Cooler Flushing
!!!@ To prevent iniury to. face and eyas, always
-ea. safetv glasses ot a face shield when using the
transmission flusher.
NOTE: This procedure should be performed before rein-
stalling the transmission.
1. Check the tool and hoses for wear and cracks before
using. lf wear or cracks are found, replace the hoses
before using.
Using the measuring cup, fill the tank with 2'l ounces
(approximately 2/3 full) of biodegradable flushing
fluid (J35944 - 20). Do not substitute with any other
fluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluid
contarner.
Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the tank
with compressed air to between 550 - 829 kpa (5 6 -
8.45 kgflcm'. 80 - 120Psi).
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 tank's discharge hose to the return line
of the transmission cooler using a clamp.
Connect the drain hose to the inlet line on the trans-
mission cooler using a clamP
IMPORTANT:
Securely clamp the opposite end oJ the drain hose to a
bucket or floor drain.

9. Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into the
water flow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger down'
While flushing with the water and flushing fluid for
two minutes, turn the air valve on for five seconds

AIR PRESSURE: MAX 845 kpa {8.45 kgf/cm', 120 psi)
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 10'
12, Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with water
onlv 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 mobturo in tho cooler or pipas
can damage the transmksion'
15. Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach the
