TRANSAXLE FLUID DRAIN AND REFILL

Draining

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL position it on a hoist.

Note: If an internal problem is suspected, drain the fluid through a paper filter. A small amount of metal or friction particles may be found from normal wear. If an excessive amount of metal or friction material is present the transaxle will need to be overhauled.





2. Remove the transaxle drain plug.

Refill





1. Using a small amount of pipe sealant on the threads, install the transaxle drain plug.
2. Fill the transaxle with clean automatic transaxle fluid.
3. Start the engine and run through all the gears for a total of five minutes.
