This document provides instructions for flushing the automatic transmission (A/T) fluid cooler line before performing transmission work. It involves removing the cooler line hose, starting the engine to discharge old fluid, draining the transmission case, refilling with new fluid, and checking and adjusting the fluid level when hot. The process ensures any contaminated fluid is removed from the cooler line.

transmission with a new one, overhauling the existing transmission, or caution connecting the cooler pipe to the transmission, the A/T fluid cooler line should always be flushed out.
In you have an A/T fluid changer, use the A/T fluid
changer to flush the A/T fluid. If you do not have an A/T fluid changer, follow the procedure given below. 1.Remove the hose shown in the illustration which allows the A/T fluid to flow from the A/T fluid cooler to the transmission. 2. The engine should be stopped within one minute of it being caution started. If the A/T fluid has all been discharged before this, stop the engine at that point. Start the engine and discharge the A/T fluid. Driving conditions: N range, idling Discharge amount: Approx. 3.5 L 3.Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission case to drain out the remaining A/T fluid. Discharge amount: Approx. 2.0 L 4.Install the drain plug with a new gasket in between, and tighten it to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 32 ± 2 N·m 5. Stop pouring in the A/T fluid caution once 5.5 L has been poured in. Pour the new A/T fluid in through the oil filler tube. Amount to add: Approx. 5.5 L 6.Repeat the operation in step 2. 7.Pour in new A/T fluid through the oil filler tube. Amount to add: Approx. 3.5 L Carry out steps 2 and 7 so that at least 8.0 L has been discharged from the cooler hose. After this, note discharge a small quantity of A/T fluid and check for contamination. If the A/T fluid is contaminated, repeat steps 6 and 7. 8.Connect the hose which was disconnected in step 1, and then securely re-insert the oil level gauge. 9.Start the engine, and let it run at idle for 1 - 2 minutes. 10.Move the selector lever to all positions once, and then return it to the N position.
11.Check that the A/T fluid level on the oil level
gauge is at the COLD mark. if it is not up to this mark, add more A/T fluid.
12.Drive the vehicle until the A/T fluid
temperature reaches the normal temperature (70 - 80°C), and then re check the A/T fluid level. The COLD mark is for reference only; the HOT marks should be note used as the standard for judgement. A/T fluid temperature using note M.U.T.-III. Check the fluid level referring to the characteristics chart shown if note it takes some time until reaching the normal operation temperature of A/T fluid (70 - 80°C.) 13.When A/T fluid is under the specified level, top up A/T fluid. When A/T fluid is over the specified level, drain the excessive A/T fluid from the drain plug to adjust A/T fluid level to the specified level. 14.Securely insert the oil level gauge into the oil filler tube.
