INSPECTION TO DETERMINE TRANSMISSION CONDITION

TRANSMISSION INSPECTION, RECALIBRATION AND REPLACEMENT MUST BE DONE BY TECHNICIANS THAT HAVE COMPLETED THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SPECIALTY TRAINING (STST) FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REAR-WHEEL DRIVE OR EQUIVALENT TRAINING.

Remove the transmission oil pan to check the transmission fluid for color, odor and for band material particles. Your inspection will determine recalibration kit installation, or transmission replacement.

* If the fluid is reddish in color and there are no excessive material particles, install the recalibration kit.

* If the fluid is brown or black or smells burnt, this indicates an over-heating condition in the transmission and requires transmission replacement. Call the Transmission Hotline, 1-800-344-8145.

* If there are excessive solids or material particles in the fluid, this indicates clutch disc or band failure and requires transmission replacement. Call the Transmission Hotline, 1-800-344-8145.


RETURNED TRANSMISSIONS WILL BE EXAMINED AND RETURNED IF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED CONDITIONS ARE NOT PRESENT.


SPECIAL DEALER INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OWNERS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS TO BE REPLACED.

When replacing transmissions following the call to the Transmission Hotline, reinstall the oil pan and fill fluid as necessary. Provide owners with the following information:

1. Transmissions will be ordered and should arrive at the dealership within 7-10 working days.

2. Owners may elect to drive their cars during the waiting period. Advise these owners to drive in the "D" position and to avoid using the "OD" selector position.
