Transaxle Fluid Cooler: Notes

CAUTION: Whenever a transaxle has been disassembled to install new parts or because the valve body sticks from foreign material, the torque converter and transaxle fluid cooler must be cleaned by using a suitable cleaner. Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to clean converters by hand agitation with solvent.

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material can be carried into the torque converter and transaxle fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transaxle concerns and must be removed from the system before the transaxle is returned for repair.
