Flushing for approximately 2 minutes in each cool line direction will result in a total of about 8 to 10 gallons of waste fluid. Assuming there is proper flow, continue with the flushing process, now including the approved flushing fluid. This also serves as a flow check where no-flow indicates a complete clogged cooler that will require replacement. This small initial flush is captured in an oil drain container for proper disposal. WASTE FLUID HANDLING: The procedure begins with a 10 second flush with straight water to remove any trans fluid that remains in the cooling system. It should be noted that according to GM, use of other non-approved fluids for cool flushing can have an adverse reaction on seals inside the transmission.
#FLUSHING TRANSMISSION COOLER SKIN#
The safety precautions on the label regarding potential skin and eye irritations associated with prolonged exposure are typical precautions that apply to many similar cleaning solutions. FLUSHING FLUID SAFETY: The flushing fluid (J-35944-22) is environmentally safe, yet powerful enough to cut through trans fluid to dislodge any contaminants from the cooler. In June 1997, GM issued a Bulletin (77-71-59), which outlines the procedures for using this flusher when performing service repairs including: Torque Converter Replacement, SRTA Transmission Replacement, Major Overhaul, Oil Pump Replacement. The J-35944-A Transmission Cooler Flusher developed by SPX Kent-Moore and GM Powertrain was made an Essential Tool to all GM dealerships in 1987 for service on all current automatic transaxles and transmissions. A thorough flush of the transmission cooling system to remove contaminants is critical to ensure the longevity of a transmission repair. Proper transmission repair can make the difference in keeping a vehicle on the road and reducing customer comebacks. NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CAN BE FOUND IN THE SPX DRIVING FORCE, ISSUE 2, VOLUME 1. Waste fluid can be disposed of down the sewer drain, assuming the drain system is equipped with a filtering system for oils and other contaminants. Flushing fluid is similar to other industrial cleaning fluids and is safe to use. This tool supports the GM published procedures to eliminate repeat failure from contamination. ALL TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE This tool is used to flush the transmission lines and oil cooler to remove contaminants after trans failure.
