Transmission Fluid, Filling

-- If no transmission fluid flows out at the opening for drain and check plug -arrow 1- between 35 ° and 45 °C (95 ° and 113 °F), fill the transmission fluid as follows.

-- Shake the container before opening.

-- Attach the transmission fluid container to the : VAS6262A  .

-- Install the : VAS6262A  into the opening for the drain and check plug -arrow 1- hand-tight.

-- Hold the container with the : VAS6262A  as high as possible over the transmission and fill the transmission with transmission fluid.

-- To check if the transmission is sufficiently filled, disconnect the quick-release coupling on : VAS6262A  at regular intervals and seal the hose with a finger or a clean plug.

• The collected transmission fluid runs out of the overflow pipe -arrow 2-.
• Some transmission fluid always leaks out at the opening for the drain and check plug -arrow 1-, regardless of the transmission fluid level.
• Every 30 seconds a small wave of fluid comes out of the overflow pipe, regardless of the height of the fluid level (cause: cooling fluid impulse to clutch.) This wave does not mean that the fluid level is sufficient and therefore must not be taken into account when determining the fluid level.
• Do not reuse transmission fluid that was drained.

• If some transmission fluid still leaks out at a transmission fluid temperature between 35 ° and 45 °C (95 ° and 113 °F) (due to additional warming), the transmission fluid level is OK.

-- If the transmission fluid level is OK, perform the final procedures. Refer to FINAL PROCEDURES  below.
