Draining

CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners, mineral spirits, brake cleaner or solvents that may contain acetone, xylene or heptane to clean and/or flush the transmission assembly, transmission components and the torque converter or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for the transmission/converter being serviced.

CAUTION: Always refer to the instructions supplied with the flush and fill machine or transmission damage can occur.

1. With the vehicle in PARK, position it on a hoist.
2. Use a suitable flush and fill machine to change the fluid.
3. When connecting the flush and fill machine, connect the machine to the transmission fluid cooler tube after the transmission fluid cooler on the transmission fluid cooler return tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the transmission fluid coolers.

Refill
1. Use only clean transmission fluid.
2. Once the transmission fluid exchange has been completed, disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected fluid cooler tubes.
3. With the engine running, check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved. For additional information, refer to Transmission Fluid Level Check.
