Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental electrical contact.
2. Drain Transmission Fluid: Place a drain pan beneath the transmission pan and remove the drain plug to allow fluid to exit completely.
3. Remove Old Filter Set: Unscrew the existing filter housing using an appropriate wrench. Carefully detach the gasket and discard the old filter media.
4. Install New Filter: Place a fresh gasket onto the new filter housing, align it with the mounting flange, and secure it with the provided clamp or bolt.
5. Refill Fluid: Refill the transmission with the manufacturer‑recommended fluid type. Use a funnel to avoid spills.
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Inspect the filter housing area for any signs of leakage.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter set every 30,000 km or as recommended by your vehicle’s service schedule.
• Always use the specified transmission fluid to maintain proper viscosity and prevent contamination.
• Inspect the gasket seal periodically for signs of wear or damage; replace if necessary.
• Keep the filter housing clean from dust and debris during installation to avoid introducing contaminants.
