Radiator (In Tank Oil Cooler) Installation Note
1. The automatic transmission oil cooler flushing must be performed whenever a transmission is removed for service because the
existing fluid may be contaminated, and to prevent contamination of new fluid.
NOTE:
Flushing must be performed after installation of the overhauled or replaced transmission.
2. Follow the instructions in the manufacturer's publication for flushing operation.
Oil Pipe, Hose clamp, Oil hose Installation Note
1. Apply compressed air to cooler–side opening, and blow any remaining grime and foreign material from the cooler pipes.
Compressed air should be applied for more than 1 min.
2. Align the marks, and slide the oil hose onto the oil pipe until it is fully seated as shown.
3. Install the hose clamp onto the hose.
NOTE:
If reusing the hose, install the new hose clamp exactly on the mark left by the previous hose clamp. Then apply
force to the hose clamp in the direction of the arrow in order to fit the clamp in place.
4. Verify that the hose clamp does not interfere with any other components.
