Cooler Flushing
@@ To prevent in;ury to face and eyos, atwayswear safety glasses ot a face shield when using thetlansmission flusher.
This procedure should be performed before reinstallingthe transmission.
2.
LCheck equipment for wear and cracks before using.Replace any worn or cracked components.
Using the measuring cup. fill the tank with 21 ounces{approximately 213 lull) ol biodegradable flushingfluid (J35944 - 20). Do not substitute with any otherfluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluidcontaaner.
Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize theflusher with compressed air to 550 - 829 kpa (5.6 _
8.45 kgf/cm,, 80 - 120psi). The air line should beequipped with a water trap to ensure a dry air sys-tem.
Hang the flusher under the vehicle.
Attach the flusher discharge hose to the return lineof 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 ofthe drain hose to abucket or floor drain.

1'I.
Turn on the water valve for 1O seconds. lf waterdoes not flow through the cooler, it is completelyplugged, cannot be flushed, and must be replaced.
Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into thewater flow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger down.
While flushing with the water and flushing fluid fortwo minutes, turn the air valve on for five secondsevery 15 - 20 seconds to create a surging action.AIR PRESSURE: MAX 845 kpa (8.45 kgf/cmr, t20 psi)
Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, thenreverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush inthe opposite direction. Repeat steps 8 through 10.
Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with wate.for one minute.
Turn the water valve off, and the water supply off.
Turn the air valve on for two minutes, or until nomoisture is visible leaving the drain hose. Residualmoisture in the cooler or lines can damage thetransmission.
Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach thedrain hose to a container.
Install the transmission, and leave the drain hoseattached to the cooler line.

Over-Drive (O/Dl Switch Wire Clearance Adjustment -'99 - 00 Models
NOTE: Be sure to adjust the clearance between the O/D
switch wires and the shift lever control bracket after
replacing the O/D switch and park pin switch, and after
reassembling the shift lever. lf there is the slack in the
wires or the wires are kept tight, the wires may have
Dreaks.
1. Shift the shift lever into E positron.
2. Pull or push the wires to adjust the clearance
between the wires and the edge of the shift lever
control bracket to 13 mm (0.5 in).

7.
Secure the wires with the harness clamp.
Move the shift lever to each position, and verify that
there is a clearance between the wires and bracket
in each position.
lf the wires are kept tight in any position, read.iust
the clearance.
Install the shift lever assembly on the steering col-
umn.
Move the shift lever to each position, and make
sure that the wires are kept away from any parts
such as the steering column.

bracket, and installthe screw loosely.
Shift the shift lever to E position.
lnssrt a 0.5 mm (0.02 in) wire gap gauge between
the control chocker detent and the shift lever, then
hold the shift lever against the El position in the
control checker.
