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.
