PREPARATION
1. After the repair or replacement transmission is
installed in the vehicle, do not connect the oil cooler
pipes again.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not substitute with solutions that
contain alcohol or glycol. Use of
solutions that contain alcohol or glycol
may damage the J 35944-A , oil cooler
components or transmission components.
•
The J 35944-22 fl ushing fl uid is
environmentally safe, yet powerful
enough to cut through transmission fl uid
to dislodge any contaminants from the
cooler. 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.
It should be noted that according
to GM, use of other non-approved
fl uids for cooler fl ushing can have an
adverse reaction to the seals inside the
transmission.
2. Remove the fi ll cap (9) on the J 35944-A and fi ll the
fl usher tank (4) with 0.6 L (20-21 oz) of J 35944-22
fl ushing solution using the measuring cup (6). Do not
overfi ll.
3. Install the fi ll cap (9) on the J 35944-A and pressurize
the fl usher tank (4) to 550-700 kPa (80-100 psi), using
the shop air supply at the tank air valve (9).
