Transmission Fluid Cooler: Notes
Special Tool(s)
CAUTION:
Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts, the installation of a new transmission fluid cooler must be installed and the transmission fluid cooler tubes must be cleaned and backflushed.
NOTE:
Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with normal cleaning and inspection procedures, as outlined during disassembly and reassembly, will keep contamination from re-entering the transmission and causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material, or band material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed from the system before the transmission is put back in use.
