| Transmission Fluid | |
| The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the material 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
- OTA transmission fluid multi cooler
- Transmission mounted transmission fluid cooler tube assembly
- Transmission fluid thermal bypass valve
- Transmission fluid cooler inlet tube
- Transmission fluid cooler return tube
These vehicles are equipped with an external transmission fluid cooler. The transmission fluid cooler is part of the A/C condenser and cannot be serviced separately. The cooler is mounted in front of the engine radiator. The transmission fluid cooling system also consists of a transmission fluid thermal bypass valve which is mounted on the transaxle main control cover. When the transmission fluid is below normal operating temperature, transmission fluid travels from the transaxle to the transmission fluid thermal bypass valve then back to the transaxle. When the transmission fluid is at or above normal operating temperature, the transmission fluid thermal bypass valve opens allowing transmission fluid to travel from the transaxle through the transmission fluid cooler then back to the transaxle. The transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the transmission fluid to the outside air.
