TRANSMISSION

FLUID AERATION CHECK

A fluid level that is too high will cause

the fluid to become aerated. Aerated fluid will

cause low control pressure and the aerated fluid

may be forced out the vent.

Check the transmission fluid level. Low

fluid level can affect the operation of the

transmission and may Indicate fluid leaks that

could cause transmission damage.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK AGE CHECKS

Leakage at the control cover, inlet and

outlet ports often can be stopped by tightening

the attaching bolts. If necessary, replace the

gasket.

Check the fluid lines and fittings between

the transmission and the cooler in the radiator'

tank or on the transmission for losseness, wear,

or damage. If leakage cannot be stopped by

t i g h t e n i n g a fitting, replace the defective

parts.

The cooler can be further checked for leaks

by disconnecting the Lines from the cooler fit-

tings and applying 5 psi air pressure to the

f i t t i n g s . If the cooler is leaking and will not

hold this pressure, the radiator must be replaced.

The cooler cannot be replaced separately.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left side of

t h e transmission case at the front. If the

plug shows leakage, torque the plug to specifi-

c a t i o n . If tightening does not stop the leeks,

replace the plug.

When converter drain plugs leak, remove

drain plugs. Coat the threads with a sealing

compound and install the plugs. Torque the

d r a i n plugs to specification.
