Rules of cleanliness for working on automatic transmissions
^ Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.
^ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover. Use foils and paper. Use lint-free cloths only!
^ Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not carried out immediately.
^ Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation.
^ Always replace O-rings, gaskets and sealing rings.
^ Lightly lubricate O-rings before installing, this prevents the rings from being pinched when inserting.
^ Use only ATF in areas near ATF. Other lubricating substances cause functional problems in the hydraulic transmission control.
^ Check the following fluid levels after installing, top off if necessary. ATF in planetary gear, gear oil in front final drive, gear oil in center differential. Capacities and specifications.
