Removing

The supply and return lines are removed from the connection on the transmission fluid cooler. Refer to => [ Transmission Fluid Cooler Overview ] Transmission Fluid Cooler Overview

- Open the clip - A - and remove it from the coupling.






- Pry the seals - 1 and 2 - out of the groove.







Only pry the seals out of the connection with plastic tools, for example the trim removal wedge (3409). Do not use a screwdriver. It could cause leaks.

Installing

- Lubricate the seal - 1 - with transmission fluid and insert it in the groove by hand.






- Lubricate the seal - 2 - with transmission fluid and carefully slide it on as far as the stop. Make sure the seal does not twist inside out.

The clip is installed next. Follow the description exactly to avoid overstretching the clip.

- Spread the clip a maximum - a - of 16 mm and place it on the coupling.






Clip Installed Position





The guide - arrow - faces the connection - 2 -.

- Connect the supply and return lines to the connections on the transmission fluid cooler

When connecting, the clip engages audibly with a click in the groove on the connection - 1 -.






- Make sure the clip is seated correctly.

The clip must be seated completely in the groove on the coupling - 2 - and the connection - 1 -. Dimension - a - should be a maximum of 5 mm.






If the dimension is greater than 5 mm, the clip was overstretched and it must be replaced.


Do not bend the clip together. Otherwise the coupling could loosen later and transmission fluid could leak out.

- Check the transmission fluid level. Refer to => [ Transmission Fluid Level, Checking and Filling ] Transmission Fluid Level, Checking and Filling.
