5. Connect the pressure line to the OUTLET line (from cooler).
6. Connect the return line to the INLET line (to cooler).
7. Turn the pump "ON" for two to three minutes to flush the

cooler(s) and lines. Monitor the pressure readings. Clear the
return lines. Pressure readings should stabilize below 138
kPa (20 psi) for vehicles equipped with a single cooler and
208 kPa (30 psi) for vehicles equipped with dual coolers. If
flow is intermittent or exceeds these pressures, replace the
cooler(s).

8. Turn the pump "OFF."
9. Disconnect the suction line from the reservoir at the cover

plate. Disconnect the return line at the cover plate and place
it in a drain pan.

10.Turn the pump "ON" for 30 seconds to purge flushing

solution from the cooler(s) and lines. Turn the pump "OFF."

11.Place the suction line into a one quart container of

DIAMOND ATF SP III transmission fluid.

12.Turn the pump "ON" until all transmission fluid is removed

from the one quart container and lines. This purges any
residual cleaning solvent from the transaxle cooler(s) and
lines. Turn the pump "OFF."

13.Disconnect the alligator clips from the battery. Reconnect

the flusher lines to the cover plate, and remove the flushing
adapters from the cooler lines. Reconnect the cooler lines.

OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK

M1231013100214

After the new or repaired transaxle has been installed, fill to the
proper level with DIAMOND ATF SP III. The flow should be
checked using the following procedure:

CAUTION

With the fluid set at the proper level, transmission fluid
collection should not exceed one quart or internal damage
to the transaxle may occur.
1. Disconnect the OUTLET line (from cooler) at the transaxle

and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.

2. Run the engine at curb idle speed with the shift selector in

neutral.

3. If transmission fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than

20 seconds to collect one quart of transmission fluid, replace
the cooler.

4. If flow is within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line.

Then fill the transaxle to the proper level, using DIAMOND
ATF SP III.

2. Loosen the control cable to the manual control lever

coupling nut to free the cable and lever.

3. Set the manual control lever to the neutral position.

4. Loosen the transmission range switch body mounting bolts

and turn the park/neutral position switch body so the hole in
the end of the manual control lever and the hole (section A

−

A in the figure on the left) in the flange of the transmission
range switch body flange are aligned.
NOTE: The transmission range switch body can be aligned
by inserting a 5-mm diameter steel bar into the end hole of
the manual control lever and the flange hole of the transmis-
sion range switch body.

5. Tighten the transmission range switch body mounting bolts

to the specified torque. Be careful at this time that the switch
body does not move.

Tightening torque: 11

± 1 N⋅m (96 ± 8 in-lb)
