Automatic Transmission (6F35): Specifications

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Item Specification
Transmission Fluid 
The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the material  specification for the correct transmission fluid.
NOTE: Do not use water-based cleaners to clean or flush the transmission fluid cooler tubes or transaxle damage will occur. Mineral spirits can be used to clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes, providing the transmission fluid cooler tubes are flushed with clean transmission fluid and blown dry with shop air. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this transaxle and torque converter being serviced.
