Transmission Maintenance
DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECK
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE CHECK On a weekly basis, check the TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL.
Start the engine and run it at 1000 to 1500 rpm until the transmission reaches a normal
operating temperature of (180° to 200° F.). Then idle the engine and shift through all range
positions slowly. This will ensure that all parts of the system are filled with oil. Shift to
neutral and set the engine speed at idle rpm.
SERVICING MACHINE AFTER TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL
When servicing the unit for the first time after vehicle installation and/or after repair, the unit
is filled as follows:
A. Fill the unit with 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of the recommended lubricant.
B. Start the engine and run at idle speed to let the converter and oil lines fill.
C. Locate the oil level plug holes on the lower part of the transmission case on the right
side of the machine. There are two 1/4 x 18 taper pipe thread oil level holes. The full oil
level hole is 1 1/2 inches above the low oil level hole. Initially fill the transmission with
oil until it flows out of the low oil level plug hole. Install the low oil level plug. Start and
run the engine at idle speed to prime the converter, oil cooler, and lines. Recheck the
oil level with the engine running at idle speed and bring level to the low oil level plug
hole. When the oil temperature is stabilized at 180° to 200° F make final oil level check
and bring oil level to the full oil level plug hole and install the oil level plug.
NOTE: The oil level is always checked with the engine running at idle speed, the
transmission in neutral, and the oil temperature at 180 to 200° F. (82.2 to 93.3° C).
DO NOT OVERFILL THE TRANSMISSION.
Recommended Lubricant and Filter Change Intervals
Refer to
Lubrication Chart on page 123 for lubricant recommendations.
Recommendations utilizing the Dana-Clark Filter:
The lubricant and filter should be changed after the first 50 hours of transmission operation.
After the initial lubricant and filter change, it is recommended that the filter be changed
every 500 hours or 3 months of operation and the lubricant be changed every 1000 hours
or 6 months of operation
NOTE: In cold weather operation and/or initial start up (when the transmission oil is
cold) the oil will have a higher viscosity which may allow the filter to bypass
intermittently.
