| AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINE FLUSHING CAUTION If replacing the transmission with a new one, if overhauling the existing transmission, or if the A/T fluid has deteriorated or is contaminated, the A/T fluid cooler line must always be flushed out.
| Remove the hose shown in the illustration which allows the A/T fluid to flow from the A/T fluid cooler (built into the radiator) to the transmission. CAUTION The engine should be stopped within one minute of it being started. If the A/T fluid has all been discharged before this, stop the engine at that point. Start the engine and discharge the A/T fluid. Driving conditions: N range, idling Discharge amount: Approx. 3.5 L CAUTION Stop pouring in the A/T fluid once 3.5 L has been poured in. Pour in new A/T fluid through the oil filler tube. Amount to add: Approx. 3.5 L Repeat the operation in step 2 and 3. NOTE: Carry out steps 2 and 3 so that at least 8.0 L has been discharged from the cooler hose. After this, discharge a small quantity of A/T fluid and check for contamination. If the A/T fluid is contaminated, repeat steps 2 and 3. Carry out the procedure in "Automatic Transmission Fluid Replacement" from step 2 onwards.
