Tech Tips
The sample shows the auto fluid of approximately 0.25 liters (0.26 US qts, 0.22 lmp, qts) that is taken out from the removed torque converter clutch.
Replace the ATF in the torque converter clutch.
If the ATF is discolored and/or has a foul odor, completely stir the ATF in the torque converter clutch and drain it with the installation face up.
Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
If the torque converter clutch is inspected or exchange the ATF, is exchanged, clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
Tech Tips
Spray compressed air of 196 kPa (2kgf/cm2, 28 psi) from the inlet hose.
If plenty of fine powders are identified in the ATF, add a new ATF using a bucket pump and clean it again.
If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler.
