13. Flush each steel line from the cooler side back toward the A/T by spraying Transmission Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream for 5 seconds.
14. Blow compressed air regulated to 490 - 883 kPa (5 - 9 kg/cm
2 ,71 - 128 psi) through each steel line from
the cooler side back toward the A/T for 10 seconds to force out any remaining fluid.
15. Ensure all debris is removed from the steel cooler lines.
16. Ensure all debris is removed from the banjo bolts and fittings.
17. Perform A/T fluid cooler diagnosis procedure.
A/T FLUID COOLER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Insufficient cleaning of the cooler inlet hose exte rior may lead to inaccurate debris identification.
1. Position a drain pan under the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler tube to cooler hose connection.
2. Clean the exterior and tip of the cooler inlet hose.
3. Put a different color matching mark on each cooler tube to cooler hose connection to aid in assembly. CAUTION:
Use paint to make the matching mark. Do not damage the tubes or hose.
4. Disconnect the fluid cooler inle t and outlet rubber hoses from the
steel cooler tubes.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
• Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the
Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
• Spray cooler cleaner only with adequate ventilation.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis- sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until fluid flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the cooler inlet hose.

OIL PAN

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Drain A/T fluid. Refer to TM-180, "Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)".
2. Remove oil pan clips (1).
3. Remove oil pan (2).
4. Remove oil pan gasket. • Vehicle front
• Oil pan bolts
• Drain plug (3)
5. Check for foreign materials in oil pan to help determi ne cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark,
has some burned smell, or contains foreign particles then friction material (clutches, band) may need
replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves,
servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
CAUTION:
If friction material is detected, flush th e transmission cooler after repair. Refer to TM-182, "
A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
6. Remove magnets from oil pan.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.

2. Install the oil pan (2) new oil pan gasket.• : Vehicle Front
• : Oil pan bolts
• Clips (1)
• Drian plug (3)
CAUTION:
• Be sure the oil drain plug is located to the rear of thetransmission assembly.
• Before installing oil pan bolts, remove any traces of old sealant from the sealing su rfaces and threaded holes.
• Do not reuse old gasket, replace with a new one.
• Always replace the oil pan bolts as they are self-sealing.
• Partially install the oil pan bolts in a criss-cross pattern to prevent dislocation of the gasket.
3. Install oil pan bolts and clips tighten in numerical order as shown.
4. Install drain plug with new gasket to oil pan and tighten to speci- fication.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Refill the A/T with fluid and check for fluid leakage. Refer to TM-178, "
Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)".
