    CAUTION: Do not reuse hose clamps.
    NOTE:
    • If rubber material from cooler hose remains on the steel tube or fitting, clean steel tube and replace rubber hose.
    • The hoses removed from the CVT fluid warmer will be flushed first in one direction and then the other.
  5. Allow any transmission fluid that remains in the CVT fluid cooler hoses to drain into the oil drain pan.
  6. Flush CVT fluid cooler and hoses using the following steps:
    1. Attach a suitable hose (A) to the CVT fluid cooler hose (1).
