Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Preparation





1. After the repair or replacement transmission is installed in the vehicle, do rot reconnect the oil cooler pipes.

Important:
The flushing fluid (J 35944-22) is environmentally safe, yet powerful enough to cut through transmission fluid to dislodge any contaminants from the cooler. The safety precautions on the label regarding potential skin and eye irritations associated with prolonged exposure are typical precautions that apply to many similar cleaning solutions. It should be noted that according to GM, use of other non-approved fluids for cooler flushing can have an adverse reaction to the seals inside the transmission.

2. Remove the fill cap (9) on the J 35944-A and fill the flusher tank (4) with 0.6 L (20-21 oz) of J 35944-22 flushing solution using the measuring cup (6). Do not overfill.

3. Install the fill cap (9) on the J 35944-A and pressurize the flusher tank (4) to 550-700 kPa (80-100 psi), using the shop air supply at the tank air valve (9).

Important:
Refer to Table 1 to determine the correct pipe for each application.





4. Connect the J 35944-A discharge hose (5) to the oil cooler return pipe. Use the J 35944-200 or the J 35944-440 if required.

5. Clip the discharge hose (5) onto the oil drain container.

6. Attach the J 35944-A to the undercarriage of the vehicle with the hook provided and connect the flushing system feed supply hose (3) from the J 35944-A to the other (feed) oil cooler pipe. Use the J 35944-200 or the J 35944-440 if required.

7. With the water supply valve (1) on the J 35944-A in the OFF position, connect the water supply hose (7) from the J 35944-A to the water supply at the faucet.

8. Turn ON the water supply at the faucet.
