Transmission Fluid Exchanger

General Description

The 92500 provides an easy, efficient way of replacing automatic transmission fluid in a vehicle. The Exchanger removes the used transmission fluid and replaces it with new fluid, which reduces the harmful contaminants and restores the fluid properties, extending the life of the vehicle’s transmission.

Glossary of Terms

ATF — Automatic transmission fluid (oil).

Unit — The transmission fluid exchanger.

Dipstick Only Mode —Transfers used ATF and new ATF through the

transmission’s dipstick tube by running a hose directly into the transmission fluid pan. This mode eliminates the need to remove the cooler lines.

Dipstick/Cooler Mode — Initially transfers used ATF and new ATF through the transmission’s dipstick tube. Then with the engine running, new ATF is pumped into the transmission through the dipstick tube, while the used ATF is evacuated through the cooler lines. This mode provides the quickest transfer of used and new ATF.

Introduction

Cooler Only Mode — Transfers used ATF and new ATF through the oil cooler lines. Use this mode if the transmission does not have a dipstick.

Manual/Top-Off Mode — Manually adds or removes fluid to or from the transmission pan. Use this mode if it is necessary to remove the transmission pan, or to add fluid when using another mode.

Drain Waste Tank — Transfers used ATF from the internal waste tank through the nylon transfer hose to an external waste ATF holding tank.

Total Count — Displays the number of ATF exchanges performed.

Pause/Abort — Pauses or aborts a transfer. Press button once to pause.

Press and hold button to abort.

Note: When abort is selected, the unit resets

IMPORTANT!

Review current local, state, and federal statutes, cases, laws, and regulations to determine the current status and appropriate disposal method for the automatic transmission fluid. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if a material is a hazardous waste at the time of disposal. Ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Application Notes

Ford Taurus with a 3.0 liter V6 requires the removal of the vent cap located behind the shifter linkage on top of transmission before service. This will minimize “overfilling” due to lack of headroom in the transmission housing.

Low pressure transmissions require the transmission be left in neutral with the parking brake secured during the “dynamic” (engine running) phase of the ATF service.

Import vehicles, with small dipstick tube openings, require the 529740 flexible nylon hose, which has a smaller blue section at the end, in place of the 529734 hose.

Helpful Tips

To avoid oil spillage, turn unit on before removing the flexible nylon hose from its storage area.

For the quickest and most accurate exchange, ensure transmission is warmed to normal operating temperatures.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the vehicle, ensure all hoses are correctly connected before transferring fluid.
