Transaxle Cooling - 6F35: Maintenance Ford Edge I рестайлинг

Transmission Fluid Level Check

To check the transmission fluid level, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 6F35 .

High Transmission Fluid Level

A transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transaxle malfunction and/or damage.

Low Transmission Fluid Level

A low transmission fluid level could result in poor transaxle engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage. This could also indicate a leak in one of the transaxle seals or gaskets.

Transmission Fluid Condition Check

1. Check the transmission fluid level. For additional information, refer to «AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 6F35»(ref-494559) .
2. Place a drop of transmission fluid on a facial tissue and examine the stain.
3. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
4. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transmission fluid pan, repair the transaxle and clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes and the transmission fluid cooler.
5. If the transaxle is to be overhauled or if installing a new transaxle, the transmission fluid cooler must be backflushed. Refer to «AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 6F35»(ref-494559) .

6. Disconnect the TCM electrical connector.
7. Disconnect the 3 battery cable pin-type retainers from the TCM bracket.
8. Remove the TCM bracket nut, TCM and bracket.
9. Remove and discard the rear transmission fluid cooler tube assembly bolt.
10. Disconnect the rear transmission fluid cooler tube assembly from the cooler bypass valve.
11. Inspect the cooler bypass valve to be sure that the transmission fluid cooler tube seals and backing rings were removed with the transmission fluid cooler tubes and are not stuck in the thermal cooler bypass valve. If the transmission fluid cooler tube seals or backing rings are stuck in the cooler bypass valve, remove the seals and backing rings.
12. Remove the rear transmission fluid cooler outlet and inlet tube bolts and disconnect the rear transmission fluid cooler outlet and inlet tubes from the transmission fluid cooler - warmer.
13. Inspect the transaxle case to be sure that the rear transmission fluid cooler outlet and inlet tube seals and backing rings were removed with the rear transmission fluid cooler outlet and inlet tubes and are not stuck in the transaxle case. If the transmission fluid cooler tube seals or backing rings are stuck in the transaxle case, remove the seals and backing rings.
14. Disconnect the 2 coolant hoses from the transmission fluid cooler - warmer.
15. Remove the 2 transmission fluid cooler - warmer bolts and the transmission fluid cooler - warmer.
