Transmission Fluid Condition Check

  1. Check the transmission fluid level. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - 6F35 .
  2. Hold the transmission fluid level indicator over a white facial tissue and allow the transmission fluid to drip onto the facial tissue and examine the stain.
  3. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
  4. If transmission fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transmission fluid pan, repair the transmission and clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes and the transmission fluid cooler.
  5. If the transmission is to be overhauled or if installing a new transmission, the transmission fluid cooler must be backflushed. Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING .
