Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the TRANSTECH-1000 Transmission Service System. By choosing this
product, you are acquiring the most technologically advanced method available for automatic transmission service
fluid exchange.
The TRANSTECH-1000 System is a self-contained system; designed to service any automatic transmission thru
it’s’ dipstick tube. Once the unit is connected, it can be used to drain the fluid from the vehicle’s transmission for
filter replacement and/or to completely exchange the transmission fluid with new fluid, without removing the
vehicle’s transmission fluid pan.
It is recommended that a vehicle’s transmission lubrication system be serviced every 15,000 miles
(Or according to the vehicle owner’s manual) to obtain the highest lubricant protection, to reduce friction from
internal transmission components, and thus increase the efficiency and life span of the transmission to its’
maximum.
Please study this Operators Manual to become thoroughly familiar with the TRANSTECH-1000 Transmission
Service System.
IMPORTANT
The TRANSTECH-1000 Transmission Service System is designed to work
EXCLUSIVELY
with Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Use of any chemical during this process may cause operational failure of the
TRANSTECH-1000 System and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
