Transmission Flushing Equipment

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUSHING EQUIPMENT

The automatic transmission oil cooler must be flushed whenever performing a major transmission repair or replacement. if the cooler is not flushed properly, residual friction material and metal may become dislodged and affect the new transmission's operation.

A labor operation is established to cover the use of flushing equipment. If the transmission oil cooler is not flushed with the proper flushing equipment prior to repair completion, and a comeback repair occurs due to clogged oil cooler circuits, the repair cost is not warrantable.
