AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FLUSHING AND FLOW TEST (J 35944-A)

GM studies indicate that plugged or restricted transmission oil coolers and pipes cause insufficient transmission

IMPORTANT: A small amount of water may drain from the bottom of the unit when the

air supply is disconnected. This is a normal operation of the built-in water
separator.

lubrication and elevated operating temperatures which can lead to premature transmission wear-out. Many
repeat repair cases could have been prevented by following published procedures for transmission oil cooler
flushing and flow checking. This procedure includes flow checking and flushing the auxiliary transmission oil
cooler, if equipped.

Only GM Goodwrench DEXRON(R)III automatic transmission fluid should be used when doing a repair on a
GM transmission.

Time allowance for performing the cooler flow checking and flushing procedure has been included in the
appropriate labor time guide operations since the 1987 model year. The service procedure steps for oil cooler
flushing are as follows:
