Cooler Flushing
To prevent injury to face and eyes, always
wear safety glasses or a face shield when using the
transmission flusher.
NOTE: This procedure should be performed before rein-
stalling the transmission.
1. Check tool and hoses for wear or cracks before using.
Replace parts that are worn or cracked.
2. Using the measuring cup, fill the tank with 21 ounces
(approximately 2/3 full) of biodegradable flushing
fluid (J35944 - 20). Do not substitute with any other
fluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluid
container.
3. Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the tank
with compressed air to between 550 - 829 kpa (5.6 -
8.45 kgf/cm2, 80-120psi).
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 tank's discharge hose to the return line
of the transmission cooler using a clamp.
6. Connect the drain hose to the inlet line on the trans-
mission cooler using a clamp.
IMPORTANT:
Securely clamp the opposite end of the drain hose to a
bucket or floor drain.

7. With the water and air valves off, attach the water and
air supplies to the flusher. (Use hot water if available.)
OFF
VALVE
8. Turn on the flusher water valve so water will flow
through the cooler for 10 seconds.
NOTE: If water does not flow through the 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 down.
10. While flushing with the water and flushing fluid for
2 minutes, turn the air valve on for 5 seconds every
15-20 seconds to create a surging action.
AIR PRESSURE: MAX 845 kpa (8.45 kgf/cm2, 120 psi)
11. Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, then
reverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush in
the opposite direction. Repeat steps 8 through 10.
12. Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with water
only for 1 minute.
13. Turn the water valve off, 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 cooler or lines
can damage the transmission.
15. Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach the
drain hose to a container.
16. Install the transmission, and leave the drain hose
attached to the cooler line.
