Transmission Replacement, Post-Checking

Transmission replacement, post-checking

Checks after replacing the transmission
Top up and check the engine coolant level before and during the test drive.




Check the oil level. See Checking the oil level Checking Oil Level.

Note! If the transmission is replaced with a new or exchange transmission, it is supplied filled with oil plus a certain amount of "excess". This is to compensate for loss from the oil cooler. The oil level must always be checked however.

Warning! The lower engine coolant hose positioned by the dip stick is extremely hot. Use protective gloves when moving the hose to the side.

Test drive the car
Use the test driving schedule. See Test drive schedule, description .

Note! Check that no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been stored during the test drive.

Returning the transmission (Only when replacing the entire transmission assembly)
Return the old transmission unit.
In order to accurately analyze the transmission fault, information is required about all symptoms which have caused the unit to be replaced. This information must be reported on the "Diagnosis and Check List" form which has been provided. See Diagnostics/check list .
Make sure that the form has been filled out correctly with all information including the customer remarks.
Copy and place the completed form in a plastic folder behind the torque converter so that it will not fall out.
Send one copy to the importer and retain one copy.
