2. Remove the fill cap (9) on the J 35944-A and fill the flusher tank (4) with 0.6 L (20-21 oz) of J 35944-

22 , using the measuring cup (6). Do not overfill.

3. Install the fill cap (9) on the J 35944-A and pressurize the flusher tank (4) to 550-700 kPa (80-100 psi),

NOTE:

Do not use solutions that contain alcohol or glycol. Use of solutions that
contain alcohol or glycol may damage the oil cooler line flusher, oil cooler
components and/or transmission components.

IMPORTANT: The J 35944-22 is environmentally safe, yet powerful enough to cut

through transmission fluid to dislodge any contaminants from the cooler.
The safety precautions on the label, regarding potential skin and eye
irritations associated with prolonged exposure, are typical precautions
that apply to many similar cleaning solutions. It should be noted that
according to GM, use of other non-approved fluids for cooler flushing can
have an adverse reaction to the seals inside the transmission.

from the J 35944-A to the water supply at the faucet.

5. Turn ON the water supply at the faucet.

4. Attach the J 35944-A to the undercarriage of the vehicle with the hook provided and connect the flushing

system feed supply hose (1) from the J 35944-A to the top connector oil cooler return pipe. Use the J
35944-200 , if required.

5. Turn the J 35944-A water supply valve (3) to the ON position and allow water to flow through the oil

cooler and pipes for 10 seconds to remove any remaining transmission fluid. If water does not flow
through the oil cooler and pipes, the cause of the blockage must be diagnosed and the plugged component
must be repaired or replaced. Continue with the cooler flushing and flow check procedure once the
blockage is corrected.

6. Turn the J 35944-A water supply valve (3) to the OFF position and clip the discharge hose onto a 19 liter

(5 gallon) pail with a lid, to avoid splashback.
