Components
NOTE: Do not remove, disassemble, or adjust
the air regulator. If the air regulator is not keep-
ing air pressure between 58 and 63 psi (400 to
435 kPa), replace the air filter/regulator. It can-
not be repaired.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles when using compressed air
to clean parts, as permanent harm to eyes could
result from flying debris.
4. Clean the filter element by dipping it in alcohol or
other cleaning solvent. Blow compressed air
through the element (inside to outside) to loosen
surface dirt and to dry the element. If it is not
damaged, the sintered metallic filter element will
last the life of the vehicle.
Wipe out the filter housing with a clean, dry, lint-
free rag. Clean and inspect the O-rings and end
cap. Replace any parts that are damaged.
5. Install the large O-ring, then the filter element
(small end first) into the filter housing.
6. Install the small O-ring in the end cap, then in-
stall the end cap and tighten it until firm.
CAUTION
A leaking air filter or air lines can cause slow or
hard shifting of the transmission, and eventual
transmission damage.

NOTE: This procedure does not apply to
FreedomLine transmissions.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Apply the
parking brakes, and chock the rear tires.
2. Remove the element from the air filter/regulator
assembly. Inspect the O-rings in the end cap;
replace worn or damaged O-rings. Inspect the
element for fluid contamination. If fluid is present,
replace the element. Inspect the air supply sys-
tem for the source of the fluid, and service it as
needed.
3. Install the element in the filter/regulator assem-
bly.
4. Apply a light coat of silicone grease, or an
equivalent grease to the O-rings in the end cap.
Install and tighten the end cap 10 to 15 lbf·ft (14
to 20 N·m).
5. Build air pressure in the system, check for leaks,
and make any needed repairs.
