TRANSMISSION
Maintenance
and
Inspection
Check
the
automatic
transmission
fluid
level
regularly (at each engine oil change)
and
change
it
at
the intervals recommended in
the
chassis
manufac-
turer's
Maintenance Schedule
for
your
vehicle.
WARNING:
AT
NORMAL
OPERATING TEMPER-
ATURES, THE DIPSTICK
WILL
BE
EXTREMELY
HOT
TO
THE TOUCH. USE CARE
TO
AVOID
BURNS.
,In
addition,
check
the
oil (fluid)
cooler
lines,
elec-
tricallines, vacuum lines,
contrallinkage
and transmis-
sion periodically for leaks, damage or
deterioration.
NOTE: Transmission
problems
can be
the
result
of
poor
engine
performance.
If
the
engine
re-
quires a tune-up,
this
should be done
before
ex-
tensve
transmission
testing.
HEATING
AND
AIR CONDITIONING
(IF EQUIPPED)
The heater/air
conditioner
system
consists
of
a
heater core and evaporator housed in a case
which,
typically, includes
an
air inlet,
blower
motor
assembly,
air
distribution
ducts
and doors
to
control
the
flow
of
air through the case.
Inspection
Perform the
following
checks
regularly:
1.
Check outer surfaces
of
radiator and
condenser
cores to be sure
they
are
not
'plugged
with
dirt,
leaves
or
other
foreign materiar. Be sure
to
check
between the condenser and radiator as
well
as
outer surfaces.
2.,
Check
the
metal
tubing
lines
to
be sure
they
are
free
of
dents or kinks
which
can cause a
loss
of
system capacity due
to
a line
restriction.
3.
Check
the
flexible hose lines
for
brittleness
or
deterioration
which
can be
the
source
of
a
system
leak.
4. Check for proper drive-belt tension.
