Transmission Fluid Cooler

Transmission Fluid Cooler

CAUTION: Whenever the transaxle has been disassembled to install new parts, clean and backflush the transaxle fluid cooler.

NOTE: Cleaning and backflushing the transaxle fluid cooling system along with normal cleaning and inspection procedures during disassembly and reassembly will keep contamination from reentering the transaxle and causing a repeat repair.

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material may have been carried into the torque converter and transaxle fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transaxle troubles and must be removed from the system before the transaxle is put back in use.
