Transmission






Transmission

If transmission covers have been unbolted or transmission has no fluid, do not run engine or tow vehicle.

First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding areas and then loosen bolts.

When installing the transmission, ensure that alignment sleeves between the engine and transmission are correctly located.

Place removed parts on a clean surface. Cover parts to prevent soiling. Use plastic sheeting and paper. Use lint-free cloths only!

Install only clean parts; do not remove new parts from packaging until immediately before installing.

If repair work cannot be performed immediately, carefully cover or seal components.

With transmission removed, secure torque converter against falling out.

Transmissions with and without filler tube





As of April 2006 the filler tube was eliminated.

Here is an "example" with a filler tube as it is installed in "older" transmissions. This tube has been discontinued.

This "old" filler opening with the red cap is not needed because ATF can be drained or filled as required through the bottom hole. The "height" of this tube determines the level of the ATF.





The tube must be removed to drain the fluid.

After installation, check the ATF level and top off => [ ATF Level ] ATF Level.
