HOSES

REMOVAL
1. While holding tension on hose clamps with pliers, move clamps off the fitting location of hose.








2. Disconnect hoses from cooler (Fig. 2). Disconnect hoses from transmission fittings (Fig. 3).
3. Remove cooler hoses.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: When the transaxle cooler lines are removed from the rolled-groove type fittings at the cooler and transaxle, damage to the inner wall of hose will occur. To prevent potential leakage, the cooler hoses must be replaced.

1. Connect hoses to cooler (Fig. 2) and transmission (Fig. 3) fittings.
2. Position and install hose clamps.
3. Start engine and check transmission fluid level. Adjust level as necessary.
