- J 35944-440 Cooler Flush Adapter
- SA9165T Oil Line Cooler Flusher

The SA9165T should be used when flushing of the transmission oil cooler in the radiator assembly is required. Follow the instructions provided with the tool when performing the flushing procedure.

The J 35944-440 is used in combination with the SA9165T and allows you to attach the cooler flusher and cooler lines together at the same time.

The transaxle oil cooler and lines should be flushed in any of the following situations:
- Transaxle Replacement
- Transaxle Oil Cooler Replacement
- Any internal transmission failure that caused debris to enter the transmission oil cooler and oil cooler lines, such as clutch plate material or metal shavings.
Debris may still be trapped within the bypass valve of the cooler lines after performing the cooler flushing procedure. Therefore, cooler line replacement is recommended during transaxle replacement.
