Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Inspection and Verification-Manual Transmission

CAUTION: When internal wear/damage occurs in the transmission, component material can travel into the fluid cooler tubes and the intank transmission fluid cooler. Remove these contaminants from the cooling system before placing the transmission back into use. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test, and refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler - Backflushing and Cleaning.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage, incorrect component installation, and system leaks. Repair as necessary.
^ Install a new or remanufactured radiator when fluid is found leaking from the intank transmission fluid cooler.

2. If the fault is not visually evident, proceed to the Symptom Chart.
