1. Disconnect the hose from the oil cooler pipe. Connect the oil cooler feed pipe, bottom
connector, to the transmission for normal flow.
2. Clip the discharge hose (1) to an empty oil container.
3. Confirm the transmission is filled with automatic transmission fluid. Refer to Fluid
Capacity Specifications for the correct automatic transmission fluid capacity.
4. Start the engine with the transmission in PARK range and run for 30 seconds after fluid
begins to flow from the discharge hose (1). A minimum of 1.9 L (2 qt) must be discharged
IMPORTANT: The Flow Test must be performed after the flush to ensure

during this 30 second run time.
5. If the fluid flow meets or exceeds 1.9 L (2 quarts) in 30 seconds, connect the oil cooler feed
pipe to the bottom connector on the transmission.
6. If fluid flow is less than 1.9 L (2 qt) in 30 seconds, perform the following diagnosis:
1. Disconnect the J 35944-A discharge hose (1) from the oil cooler return pipe. See
Special Tools.
2. Disconnect the oil cooler feed pipe at the radiator.
3. Connect the J 35944-A discharge hose (1) to the oil cooler feed pipe, radiator end.
See Special Tools.
4. Clip the discharge hose (1) onto the oil drain container.
5. Start the engine with the transmission in PARK range and run for 30 seconds after
fluid begins to flow from the discharge hose (1). A minimum of 1.9 L (2 qt) must be
discharged during this 30 second run time.
7. If the amount of transmission fluid flow remains less than 1.9 L (2 qt) in 30 seconds, inspect
the oil cooler feed pipe, bottom connector, for restrictions or damage. If no condition is
found with the feed pipe, bottom connector, inspect the transmission.
CLEAN-UP
1. Disconnect the water supply hose from the J 35944-A and bleed any remaining air pressure
from the flusher tank. See Special Tools.
2. Remove the fill cap from the J 35944-A and return any unused flushing solution to its
container. See Special Tools. Rinse the J 35944-A with water. See Special Tools. Do not
store theJ 35944-A with flushing solution in it. See Special Tools.
3. After every third use, clean the J 35944-A as described in the instructions included with the
