Installation

NOTICE: Prior to installing a new, re-manufactured or overhauled transmission, clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes. Failure to clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes can result in transmission failure.

NOTE: If the transmission was overhauled, or if installing a new transmission and the transmission fluid cooler has not been flushed, flush the transmission fluid cooler at this time. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning. Clean the transmission-mounted transmission fluid cooler tubes by hand.
