CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Warning: To prevent personal injury, do not
service transmission wearing loose clothing.
Stand clear of the engine and rotating
components while checking the oil level.
To prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering
the transmission, clean the end of the oil fill tube
before removing dipstick. To remove dipstick,
unscrew filler cap approximately three turns and
pull out dipstick.
Cold Check
Run the engine until the transmission fluid
temperature is between 60
o
F and 120
o
F (16
o
C
and 50
o
C). With the engine idling, make sure
the parking brake is applied and the
transmission is in neutral (N). Remove and wipe
the dipstick with a clean cloth. Check oil level. If
the oil level is within the COLD RUN band, the oil
level is correct and a hot check can be
performed. If the oil level is on or below the
lower line of the COLD RUN band, add oil until
the level lies within the COLD RUN band. If the
oil level is above the COLD RUN band, drain oil
until the level is within the band.
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL DIPSTICK 07006
Caution: The oil level rises as oil temperature
rises. Do not add oil above the "cold run" band
before the transmission reaches 180
o
F to 220
o
F
(82
o
C to 104
o
C).
Hot Check
Make sure the transmission fluid temperature is
between 180
o
F and 220
o
F (82
o
C and 104
o
C)
before performing the hot check. Run the engine
between 1,000 and 1,200 RPM for approximately
one minute to purge air from the system. With
the engine idling and the parking brake applied,
shift transmission from forward (D) to reverse
(R) and back into neutral (N) to fill clutch cavities
with oil. Remove and clean dipstick, then check
oil level. If the oil level is on or under the lower
HOT RUN line, add just enough oil to bring up
the level to the middle of the HOT RUN band.
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL DIPSTICK 07006
Replace dipstick and tighten the filler tube cap
until the rubber seal is correctly seated.
Caution: Do not overfill transmission fluid
reservoir. Severe damage may result.

because of possible incompatibility.
Caution: Use clean fluid and containers when
filling transmission. Never use containers that
have contained water or anti-freeze (Glycol).
