MotorVac TRANSTECH-1000 - Manual (Page 13)

1. Add the correct amount of automatic transmission fluid into the TRANSTECH’S clean
tank reservoir. See chart below:
NOTE: Quantity of fluid used per vehicle may vary depending on the condition of
the fluid in the transmission being serviced and the time allowed (engine running)
between drain/fill sequences. Trucks and Step Vans may have a larger transmission,
therefore may use more fluid than specified in this chart.
2. Start engine, let run until it reaches operating temperature, TURN ENGINE OFF.
3. Remove the vehicles dipstick and insert the wand thru the tube until it reach’s bottom.
Turn on VACUUM switch. Observe the fluid flow thru the transparent hose.
a)
When the pan is empty, turn OFF VACUUM and turn ON FILL. Observe the
amount of fluid drained into waste capture tank. When that amount has been
‘filled’ turn OFF FILL.
4. In order to do a complete fluid exchange it will be necessary to start the vehicle engine
briefly to circulate the fluid from the transmission pan. Repeat the vacuum and fill
procedure until fluid is ‘clean’ when doing the vacuum mode.
5.
Remove the wand and check the fluid level in the transmission. Adjust as necessary.
6.
Transmission Filter Change:
If the vehicle’s transmission filter is to be replaced, perform the VACUUM step
before removal of the oil pan.
CAUTION
Letting the transmission run for an extended period of time
without fluid can cause serious damage to internal components.
a) Replace or clean the vehicle’s transmission fluid filter and reinstall the
transmission’s oil pan following outside manufacturer’s recommendations.
b) Refill the transmission using the FILL procedure. Check and adjust fluid level as
needed.
7. Continue with the service until all the dirty fluid in the system has been exchanged.
8.
Start engine, let it run for one minute, then check the transmission’s fluid level. Adjust if
necessary.
