Transmission Fluid Cooler: Notes
Whenever the transaxle has been disassembled to install new parts, clean and backflush the transmission fluid cooler or contaminants in the transaxle cooling system can cause failure of the transaxle.
NOTE:
Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with normal cleaning and inspection procedures as outlined in this article during disassembly and reassembly will keep contamination from reentering the transaxle and causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transaxle troubles and must be removed from the system before the transaxle is put back in use.
