S@ to pttvont iniury to face and syes' always
w6ar safety glassos or a face shield when using the trans-
mission flusher.
NOTE: This procedure should be performed before rein-
stalling the transmission.
1. Check tool and hoses for wear and cracks before
using. lf wear or cracks are found, replace the hoses
before using.
2. Using the measuring cup, fill the tank with 21 ounces
(approximately 2/3 full) of biodegradable tlushing
fluid {J35944-20). Do not substitute with any orher
tluid. Follow the handling procedure on the tluid
contalner.
3. Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the tank
with compressed air to between 550-829 kPa
{5.6-8.45 kgf /cm', 80- 120 Psi}.
NOTE: The air line should be equipped with a water
trap to ensure a dry air system.
4. Hang the tool under the vehicle
5. Attach the discharge hose of the tank to the return
line oI the transmission cooler using a clamp
6. Connect the drain hose to the inlet line of the trans-
mission coolel using a clamp. Securely clamp the op-
oosite end of the drain hose to a bucket or tloor drain.

and air supplies to the flusher. (Hot water if
available.)
8. Turn on the flusher water valve so water will flow
through the ATF cooler for 10 seconds. lf water does
not flow through the ATF cooler, it is completely
plugged, cannot be flushed, and must be replaced
9. Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into the
water flow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger
oown.
1O. While tlushing with the water and llushing f luid for
two minutes. turn the air valve on for five seconds
everv 15-20 seconds to create a surglng actlon.

1 1. Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger. then
reverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush in
the ooDosite direction. Repeat steps 8 through 1O.
12, Release the trigger and allow water only to rinse the
cooler with water for one minute.
13. Turn the water valve oJf and turn off the water
supply.
'14. Turn the air valve on to dry the system out with air
for two full minutes or until no moisture is visible
leaving the drain hose.
CAUTION: Residual moisture in the ATF coolei 01
pipos can damage the transmission.
15. Remove the flusher {rom the cooler line. Attach the
drain hose to a fluid contaaner.

preload closest to the standard mean value o{ 2.50
N.m (25.5 kgt.cm, 22 lbf.in).
NOTE: Changing the 79.5 mm shim to the next size
will increase or decrease tapered roller bearing

8. Recheck the tapered roller bearing preload.
9. How to select the correct 79.5 mm shim:
1) Compare the tapered roller bearing preload you
get with the 79.5 mm shim that was removed
with the soecified mean Dreload of 2.50 N'm
(25.5 kgf .cm, 22 lbf.in).- 2l ll vour measured tapered roller bearing preload
is less than specified, subtract your's from the
specitied.
lf vour's is more than specitied, subtract the
soecified from vour measurement.
For example with a 1.38 mm {0.0543 in) shim:
@ specified 2.50 N.m (25.5 kgf.cm, 22 lbl.in)- you measure 0.54 N.m (5.5 kg{.cm, 5lbl.in}
2.0 N.m (20 kgf.cm, 18lbf.in) less
@you measure 3.29 N.m (33.5 kgI.cm, 29 lbt.in)- specified 2.50 N.m (25.5 kgf.cm, 22 lbf.in)
0.8 N.m (8 kgf.cm,7lbf.in) more
-3) Each shim size up or down from standard
makes about O.3-0.4 N.nt (3-4 kgf.cm,
2.6-3.5 lbl.in) difterence in tapered roller
bearing preload.
a In example @, your measured tapered roller
bearing preload was 2.O N.m (2O kgt.cm,
18 lbf in) less than standard so you need a
79.5 mm shim live sizes thicker than stan-
dard {try the 1.53 mm (O.0602 in) shim and
recheck).
a ln example @ your's was 0.8 N.m {8
kgf.cm,7lbf.in) more than standard. so
you need a thrust shim two sizes thinner (try
the 1 .32 mm (O.O52O in) shim and recheck).
1O. After adjusting the tapered roller bearing preload, as-
semble the transmission, and installthe lransmission
housing (see section 13).
8 x 1.25 mm
27 N,m (2.8 kgt'm, 20 lbf.ft)
11. Rotate the difterential assembly in both directions
to seat the tapered roller bearings.

7. lf the tapered roller bearing preload is not within the

preload closest to the standard value of 2.50 N'm

to the next size will increase or decrease tapered
roller bearing preload about 0.3 - 0.4 N'm (3 - 4

8. How to select the correct 79,5 mm shim:-1) Compare the tapered roller bearing preload you
get with the 79.5 mm shim that was removed
with the sDecified preload of 2.50 N'm (25.5
kgf.cm, 22 lbf.in).-2) lf vour measured tapered roller bearing preload
is less than specified, subtract your's from the
sDecified.
lf your's is more than specified, subtract the
specified from your measurement.
For example with a 1.38 mm (0.0543 in) shim:
@ specified 2.50 N.m (25.5 kgf.cm,22 lbiin)- you measure 0.54 N.m (5.5 kgf'cm, 5 lbf in)
2.0 N.m (20 kgf.cm, 18 lbf.in) less
@ you measure 3.29 N.m (33.5 kgf.cm, 29 lbf in)
- specified 2.50 N'm (25.5 kgf'cm, 22 lbf in)
0.8 N.m {8 kgf.cm. 7 lbf in) more
-3) Each shim size up or down from standard
makes about 0.3 - 0,4 N.m (3 - 4 kgf'cm,
2.6 - 3.5 lbf.in) difference in tapered roller
bearing preload.
o In example @, your measured tapered roller
bearing preload was 2.0 N.m (20 kgf.cm,
18 lbf.in) less than standard so you need a
79.5 mm shim five sizes thicker than stan-
dard (try the 1.53 mm (0.0602 in) shim and
recheck).
. In example @, your's was 0.8 N.m (8
kgf.cm,7 lbf.in) more than standard, so you
need a thrust shim two sizes thinner (try
the 1.32 mm {0.0520 in) shim and recheck).
Recheck the tapered roller bearing preload.
After adjusting the tapered roller bearing preload,
assemble the transmission, and install the transmis-
sion housing.
Rotate the difterential assembly in both directions
to seat the tapered roller bearings.
