ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: If transaxle failure has occurred, it is
necessary to flush the transaxle oil cooler and lines
to remove debris and particles that could contami-
nate and/or fail a new or rebuilt unit. (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/TRANSMISSION - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)CAUTION: The cooler bypass valve must be
replaced if transaxle failure has occurred. Do not
attempt to reuse or clean old valve.
NOTE: If transaxle is being overhauled (clutch
and/or seal replacement), the TCM Quick Learn pro-
cedure must be performed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD
