| Transmission Fluid | |
| The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS for the correct transmission fluid. | |
| NOTE: Do not use water-based cleaners to clean or flush the transmission fluid cooler tubes or transaxle damage will occur. Mineral spirits can be used to clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes, providing the transmission fluid cooler tubes are flushed with clean transmission fluid and blown dry with shop air. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this transaxle and torque converter being serviced. | |

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The transmission fluid cooling system consists of the following
- Oil-To-Air (OTA) transmission fluid cooler
- A non-repairable in-tank transmission fluid cooler
- Front transmission fluid cooler tube assembly
- Rear transmission fluid cooler tube assembly
- Transmission mounted transmission fluid cooler outlet tube
- Transmission mounted transmission fluid cooler inlet tube
- Transmission fluid cooler bypass valve
- Transmission fluid cooler - warmer
These vehicles are equipped with an OTA transmission fluid cooler and an in-tank transmission fluid cooler. The transmission fluid cooling system also consists of a transmission fluid cooler - warmer assembly which has a transmission cooler bypass valve mounted to the top of the transmission fluid cooler - warmer. Transmission fluid travels from the transaxle to the transmission fluid cooler - warmer. The transmission fluid cooler - warmer warms the transmission fluid to the transmission operating temperature using heated engine coolant. When the transmission fluid is at or above normal operating temperature, the transmission fluid cooler bypass valve opens allowing transmission fluid to travel from the transaxle through the in-tank transmission fluid cooler then through the OTA transmission fluid cooler then back to the transaxle. The transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the transmission fluid to the outside air.
