Transaxle Fluid Cooler Flushing & Install Case Vent Assembly

2. Transaxle Fluid Cooler Flushing

IMPORTANT

Transaxle fluid cooler flushing must be performed whenever a SRTA unit is installed for one of the following reasons:

- need for major overhaul
- suspected fluid contamination
- any case of pump or torque converter replacement

A cooler flushing tool, Kent-Moore number J 35944, has been sent to your dealership to properly flush the cooler. Time allowance to use the cooler flushing tool is 0.6 hours. This allowance is included in operation number K7000 (Trans R&R) for 1986-1988 model year Labor Time Guides and can be added to R&R allowances for 1982 through 1985 model years.

3. Install Case Vent Assembly

IMPORTANT

Before installing the THM 125C SRTA unit into the vehicle, remove and discard the plastic case vent. (It is only used for shipping purposes.)

Included with each SRTA unit is package number 8652982 that contains two metal case vents. Select and install the same design metal vent as the one on the transaxle being replaced.
