Oil Cooler Flow Check

After the new or repaired transaxle has been installed, fill to the proper level with MOPAR ATF PLUS (Automatic Transaxle Type 9602) or Dia ATF SPII or equivalent automatic transaxle fluid. The flow should be checked using the following procedure:





1. Disconnect the Cooler line at the transaxle and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.

CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level, fluid collection should not exceed one quart or internal damage to the transaxle may occur.

2. Run the engine at curb idle speed , with the shift selector in neutral.
3. If fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than 20 seconds to collect one quart of ATF, replace the cooler.
4. If flow is found to be within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line. Then fill transaxle to the proper level, using the approved type of automatic transaxle fluid.
