A/T FLUID COOLER
A/T FLUID COOLER
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000004917426
Whenever an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can become trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can bloc k or restrict the flow of A/T fluid. In either case,
malfunction of the newly serviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as A/T fluid enters the c ooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Position a drain pan under the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler tube to cooler hose connection.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the fluid cooler inlet 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.
4. Drain any A/T fluid from the cooler hose.
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 wi th 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. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the tip of the air gun and the cooler out- let hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 490 - 883 kPa (5 - 9 kg/cm
2 ,71 - 128 psi) through the cooler outlet hose
for 10 seconds to force out any remaining fluid.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.
11. Position an oil pan under the banjo bolts that connect the fluid cooler tubes to the A/T.
12. Remove the banjo bolts.

A/T FLUID COOLER
8. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
9. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlethose.
10. Blow compressed air regulated to 490 - 883 kPa (5 - 9 kg/cm
2
,71 - 128 psi) through the cooler outlet hose to force any remain-
ing A/T fluid into the coffee filter.
11. Remove the coffee filter from the end of the cooler inlet hose.
12. Perform A/T fluid cooler inspection. Refer to TM-182, "
A/T Fluid
Cooler Cleaning".
A/T FLUID COOLER INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the coffee filter for debris.
a. If small metal debris less than 1mm (0.040 in) in size or metal
powder is found in the coffee filter, this is normal. If normal
debris is found, the A/T fluid cooler/radiator can be re-used and
the procedure is ended.
b. If one or more pieces of debris are found that are over 1mm (0.040 in) in size and/or peeled clutch facing material is found in
the coffee filter, the fluid cooler is not serviceable. The A/T fluid
cooler/radiator must be replaced and the inspection procedure is
ended. Refer to CO-15, "
Removal and Installation".
A/T FLUID COOLER FINAL INSPECTION
After performing all procedures, ensure that all remaining oil is cleaned from all components.

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
8. Remove crankshaft position sensor (POS) from A/T assembly.CAUTION:
• Do not subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not allow metal filings or fo reign material to get on the
sensor's front edge magnetic area.
• Do not place in an area affected by magnetism.
9. Disconnect A/T fluid cooler tube from A/T assembly.
10. Remove dust cover from converter housing.
11. Turn crankshaft, and remove the four bolts for drive plate and torque converter.
CAUTION:
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.
12. Support A/T assembly using transmission jack and Tool. CAUTION:
When setting the transmission j ack, be careful not to allow
it to collide agai nst the drain plug.
NOTE:
The actual special service tool may differ from tool shown.
13. Remove cross member using power tool.
14. Remove air breather hose. Refer to TM-197, "
Removal and
Installation".
15. Disconnect A/T assembly connector and transfer unit connector.
16. Remove A/T fluid indicator pipe.
17. Plug any openings such as the fluid charging pipe hole.
18. Remove A/T assembly to engine bolts using power tool.
19. Remove A/T assembly with transfer from vehicle. CAUTION:
• Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.
• Secure A/T assembly to transmission jack.
20. Remove transfer from A/T assembly. Refer to DLN-139, "
Removal and Installation".
