7. Add new transmission fluid (DIAMOND ATF SP III) through 

the oil filter tube.

Approximately 3.5 dm

3

 (3.7 quarts) of transmission 

fluid should be added.

NOTE: Check for contamination or a burnt odor. If the trans-
mission fluid is still contaminated or burnt, repeat Steps 6 
and 7 before proceeding to Step 8.

8. Reconnect the hose which was disconnected in step 1 

above, and firmly replace the dipstick.

9. Start the engine and run it at idle for one to two minutes.
10.Move the selector lever through all positions, and then move 

it to the "N" position.

11.Check that the transmission fluid level is at the "COLD" 

mark on the dipstick. If the level is less than this, add 
transmission fluid.

12.Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid temperature 

rises to the normal operating temperature [70 

− 80°C (158 − 

176

°F)], and then check the transmission fluid level again. 

The transmission fluid level must be at the "HOT" mark.
NOTE: The transmission fluid temperature is measured with 
scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).
NOTE: The "COLD" level is for reference only; the "HOT" 
level should be regarded as the standard level.
NOTE: If it takes some amount of time until the transmission 
fluid reaches its normal operating temperature [70 

 80

°

(158 

 176

°

F)], check the transmission fluid level by refer-

ring to the left diagram.

13.When the transmission fluid is less than the specified level, 

add transmission fluid.
When the transmission fluid is greater than the specified 
level, drain the excess fluid through the drain plug to adjust 
the transmission fluid to the specified level.

14.Firmly insert the dipstick into the oil filler tube.

FLUSHING COOLERS AND TUBES

M1231013000347

Required Special Tool:
MB995062: Flushing Tool

WARNING

Wear protective eyewear that meets the require-
ments of ANSI Z87.1 

 1968 and OSHA. Wear stan-

dard industrial rubber gloves.

Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other 
ignition sources away from the area to prevent the 
ignition of combustible liquids and gases. Keep a 
class B fire extinguisher in the area where the 
flushing tool will be used. Keep the area well venti-
lated. Do not let flushing solvent come in contact 
with eyes or skin. If it does, flush with water for 15 
to 20 seconds. Remove contaminated clothing and 
wash affected skin with soap and water. Seek med-
ical attention.

When a transaxle failure has contaminated the transmission 
fluid, the oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The cooler by-pass 
valve in the transaxle must also be replaced. The torque con-
verter must also be replaced with an exchange unit. This will 
ensure that metal particles or sludged transmission fluid are not 
later transferred back into the reconditioned (or replaced) 
transaxle. There are two different procedures for flushing cool-
ers and lines. The recommended procedure is to use special 
tool MB995062 Flushing Tool. The other procedure is to use a 
hand suction gun and mineral spirits.
1. Remove the cover plate filler plug on special tool 

MB995062. Fill the reservoir 1/2 to 3/4 full with fresh flushing 
solution. Flushing solvents are petroleum based solutions 
generally used to clean transaxle components. Do not use 
solvents containing acids, water, gasoline, or any other 
corrosive liquids.

2. Reinstall the filler plug on special tool MB995062.
3. Verify that the pump power switch is turned "OFF." Connect 

the red alligator clip to the positive battery terminal. Connect 
the black alligator clip to a good ground.

4. Disconnect the cooler lines at the transaxle.

NOTE: When flushing the transaxle cooler and lines, always 
reverse flush.

5. Connect the pressure line to the OUTLET line (from cooler).
6. Connect the return line to the INLET line (to cooler).
7. Turn the pump "ON" for two to three minutes to flush the 

cooler(s) and lines. Monitor the pressure readings. Clear the 
return lines. Pressure readings should stabilize below 138 
kPa (20 psi) for vehicles equipped with a single cooler and 
208 kPa (30 psi) for vehicles equipped with dual coolers. If 
flow is intermittent or exceeds these pressures, replace the 
cooler(s).

8. Turn the pump "OFF."
9. Disconnect the suction line from the reservoir at the cover 

plate. Disconnect the return line at the cover plate and place 
it in a drain pan.

10.Turn the pump "ON" for 30 seconds to purge flushing 

solution from the cooler(s) and lines. Turn the pump "OFF."

11.Place the suction line into a one quart container of 

DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent transmission fluid.

12.Turn the pump "ON" until all transmission fluid is removed 

from the one quart container and lines. This purges any 
residual cleaning solvent from the transaxle cooler(s) and 
lines. Turn the pump "OFF."

13.Disconnect the alligator clips from the battery. Reconnect 

the flusher lines to the cover plate, and remove the flushing 
adapters from the cooler lines. Reconnect the cooler lines.

OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK

M1231013100214

After the new or repaired transaxle has been installed, fill to the 
proper level with DIAMOND ATF SP III. The flow should be 
checked using the following procedure:

CAUTION

With the fluid set at the proper level, transmission fluid 
collection should not exceed one quart or internal damage 
to the transaxle may occur.
1. Disconnect the OUTLET line (from cooler) at the transaxle 

and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.

2. Run the engine at curb idle speed with the shift selector in 

neutral.

3. If transmission fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than 

20 seconds to collect one quart of transmission fluid, replace 
the cooler.

4. If flow is within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line. 

Then fill the transaxle to the proper level, using DIAMOND 
ATF SP III.
