• Place both transmissions side by side and ensure that the transmissions are an exact match before installing into the car. Check bell housing bolt pattern, sensor location, harness connectors, cooling lines and axle fitment.

• Flush or replace transmission cooler and cooler lines before installation of our transmission. (Old fluid gets trapped in the cooler and can contaminate our transmission if not flushed properly)

• Replace fluid filter and pan gasket before filling with new fluid

• Replace input shaft and output shaft seals where applicable

• Replace axle seals where applicable

• You will need to transfer the 4×4 transfer case, sensors, switches, solenoids and cooling lines over from the original transmission to ensure proper function.
• (We have not tested the sensors or solenoids that come with our transmission)

• Check all electrical connectors for corrosion and debris. Check for missing or damage pins in the connectors.

• Look up the full refill amount requirement for your transmission model and transmission fluid type. We recommend using the OEM approved fluids only. Our transmissions are dry and require the full refill amount of fluid. The full refill amount will always be a few more quarts then the typical drain and refill requirement

• Fill torque converter first and then install onto input shaft before installing the transmission. Make sure the torque converter is fully seated down all three steps into the transmission.

• Check fluid level as car heats up and when the fluid is hot. Typically you may have to top off the transmission a few times to ensure proper level

• Clear all computer diagnostic codes before installing our transmission

• Check for any leaks before taking car on a test drive. We recommend driving the car for 15-25 miles to make sure everything is properly functioning before completing the job.
