AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT
Caution
When the transmission has been replaced or overhauled,
the A/T fluid cooler line flushing should always be carried
out before installing the A/T fluid cooler hose.
If you have a A/T fluid changer, use this changer to replace
the A/T fluid. If you do not have a A/T fluid changer, replace
the A/T fluid by the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the hose shown in the illustration which
connects the transmission and the A/T fluid cooler (inside
the radiator).
2. Start the engine and let the A/T fluid drain out.
Running conditions: N range with engine idling
Caution
The engine should be stopped within one minute after
it is started. If the A/T fluid has all drained out before
then, the engine should be stopped at that point.
Discharge volume: Approx. 3.4
3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the transmission
case to drain the A/T fluid.
Discharge volume: Approx. 0.8
4. Install the drain plug via a new gasket, and tighten it to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 20.1 Nm
5. Pour the new A/T fluid in through the oil filler tube.
Adding volume: Approx. 4.2
Caution
Stop pouring if the full volume of A/T fluid cannot
be poured in.
6. Repeat the procedure in step 2.
NOTE
Drain the A/T fluid from the cooler hose 6.0 at least
in steps 2 and 5. Then drain the A/T fluid a little and
check the A/T fluid for dirt.
If it has been contaminated, repeat the steps 5 and 6.
7. Pour the new A/T fluid in through the oil filler tube.
Adding volume: Approx. 3.4
