CAUTION:

Risk of damaging the transmission by mixing ATF and transmission fluid (MTF) through the same bleeder.

The transmission filled with ATF and MTF transmission fluid may be tilted a maximum of 15° laterally and lengthwise direction.
If more of an incline is needed, then the ATF and MTF transmission fluids must be drained. Refer to ATF, DRAINING AND FILLING and TRANSMISSION FLUID, DRAINING AND FILLING .

NOTE:

Replace the bolts that were tightened with an additional turn.

Replace self-locking nuts and bolts, O-rings, sealing rings and seals.

Secure hose connections with hose clamps that correspond to the series production. Refer to the parts information.

During installation, all cable ties must be installed at the same location.
