CAUTION:
- Mineral spirits used to clean the torque converter must be fresh, non-chlorinated and non-halogenated. Do not use water-based solvents or damage to the transaxle or torque converter can occur. If local ordinances state that water-based solvent must be used, use clean automatic transaxle fluid as recommended for this transaxle.
- Partially fill the torque converter using MERCON(R) Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF).
- Hand agitate the converter, then thoroughly drain the fluid.
- Repeat this procedure until the converter is clean.
- After flushing, drain the remainder of the solvent.
- Add 1.9 liters (2 quarts) of clean MERCON(R) Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) and agitate by hand.
- Thoroughly drain the converter.
- Refill the torque converter with MERCON(R) Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) and install into transaxle.
