CHECKLIST
• Compare replacement transmission and torque convertor to original before installation.
• Scan original vehicle computer, record any codes for later review and resolve all codes.
• Transmission cooler and lines must be hot flushed or replaced.
• The drain back valve in the cooler line must be removed or replaced to prevent a cooler restriction that will cause
transmission failure.
• Inspect flex plate closely and completely for cracks or any damage.
• Inspect all engine and transmission mounts for wear and damage.
• Be sure both dowel pins are clean, installed properly, and are in good condition.
• Seat the torque converter completely in the transmission prior to installation in the vehicle.
• Verify that the engine block and bell housing surfaces are clean and free of paint, grease, oil and corrosion.
• Air tools should NOT be used to force the transmission against the engine block; this may damage or break the
transmission case.
• Torque converter bolts stretch with use. Be sure to check length before installation or replace them to prevent
torque converter damage.
• Clean the driveshaft yoke or transfer case input shaft prior to installation to prevent transmission output seal
damage.
• Inspect driveshafts and u-joints for wear, binding, and damage.
• Test all sensors and switches that have been transferred from the original transmission for correct operation.
• Using the purchased synthetic or ATF+4, add 5 qts of fluid and start the engine. Continue adding fluid until full, as
indicated on dipstick. For applications without dipsticks, see Fluid Check Procedure on the next page.
• Check fluid level in NEUTRAL with the transmission at operating temperature. The transmission vent is located on
the pump and will allow fluid to leak if it is overfilled.
• Confirm that the transmission has a good ground connection; reattach all ground straps to the correct location free
of paint, grease, oil and corrosion.
• Verify that the engine block and bell housing surfaces are clean and free of paint, grease, oil and corrosion.
• Adjust gearshift linkage after installation.
• Adjust throttle valve cable or reset throttle valve actuator to prevent improper shift timing and transmission damage.
