1. caution If replacing the transmission with a new one, if overhauling the existing transmission, or if the A/T fluid has deteriorated or is contaminated, the A/T fluid cooler line must always be flushed out. Remove the hose shown in the illustration which allows the A/T fluid to flow from the A/T fluid cooler (built into the radiator) to the transmission. 2. caution The engine should be stopped within one minute of it being started. If the A/T fluid has all been discharged before this, stop the engine at that point. Start the engine and discharge the A/T fluid. Driving conditions: N range, idling Discharge amount: Approx. 3.5 L 3. caution Stop pouring in the A/T fluid once 3.5 L has been poured in. Pour in new A/T fluid through the oil filler tube.

After this, discharge a small quantity of A/T fluid and check for contamination. If the A/T fluid is contaminated, repeat steps 2 and 3. 5.Carry out the procedure in "Automatic Transmission Fluid (A/T fluid) Replacement" from step 2 onwards.
