A/T FLUID COOLER
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000004187475
Whenever an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, t he A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can becom e trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can bl ock 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 outle t 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 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.
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 theTransmission 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. 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
13. Flush each steel line from the cooler side back toward the A/T by spraying Transmission Cooler Cleanerin 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 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. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the cooler inlet hose.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Drain A/T fluid. Refer to TM-181, "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 foreign materials in oil pan to help determine c ause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, has
some burned smell, or contains foreign particles, friction material (clutches, band) may need replacement.
A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnis h 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-183, "A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
6. Remove magnets from oil pan.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.

CAUTION:
 Be sure the oil pan drain plug hole is located to the rear ofthe transmission assembly.
 Before installing oil pan bolts, remove any traces of old sealant from the sealing su rfaces and threaded holes.
 Do not reuse the oil pan gasket.
 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 new 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 the drain plug gasket.
5. Refill the A/T with fluid and check for fluid leakage. Refer to TM-
179, "Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)".
