Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair

Transmission Fluid Exchange









NOTICE: Use transmission fluid specific for this transmission. Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents. The use of these products can cause internal transmission components to fail, which will affect the operation of the transmission.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

2. Use the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer to change the fluid.

3. Connect the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer to the transmission fluid cooler tube after the transmission fluid cooler on the return tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the transmission fluid coolers.

4. Perform the transmission fluid exchange using the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the machine.

5. Once the transmission fluid exchange is completed, disconnect the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer. Reconnect any disconnected transmission fluid cooler tubes.

6. Using the scan tool with the engine running, check and make sure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature 85-93°C (185-200°F). 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.
