Conduct backflushing with a Rotunda Torque Converter/Oil Cooler Cleaner 14-00028 or equivalent. Test your equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid flow is present before proceeding. Replace the system filter if flow is weak or contaminated.
To aid in attaching the cleaner to the transmission steel cooler lines, connect two additional rubber hoses to the transmission end of the steel transmission cooler lines as described below.
Turn on solvent pump and allow the solvent to circulate a minimum of 5 minutes (cycling switch on and off will help dislodge contaminants in cooler system).
Switch off the solvent pump and disconnect the solvent pressure hose from the transmission cooler return line.
Use compressed air to blow out the cooler(s) and lines (blow air into the transmission cooler return line) until all solvent is removed.
Remove the rubber return hose from the remaining steel cooler line.
