GENERAL OPERATING NOTES
A. APPLICABLE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
The ETF 3 service is recommended every 15,000 miles or 12 months. For vehicles over
60,000 miles or with leaking problems such as a leaky gasket, replace the gasket and
correct any additional problems before doing the service. If changing transmission
filter/gasket is desired or required at the same time, do the regular filter/gasket change after
Transmission ETF 3 service.
B. LOCATING TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES
Look for Transmission Cooler Lines entering into and exiting out of the RADIATOR. Select
ONLY One Cooler Line which is easiest to disconnect. That means there are now two open
ends to work with: one coming from the transmission and one going into radiator. See
Figure. A.
C. SELECTING ADAPTERS
Select suitable adapters for the two disconnected open ends.
D. FOLLOW STEP BY STEP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THE
FOLLOWING QUICK REFERENCE GUIDES
