Transaxle Cooling: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
Whenever the transaxle has been disassembled to install new parts a new transmission fluid cooler should be installed and the fluid cooler tubes should be flushed.
NOTE:
Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system as outlined in this article will keep contamination from reentering the transaxle and causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles or clutch plate 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.
