Pretty sure we do, the part shows up for me in realoem. There's a specific procedure outlined in newTIS that addresses flushing out the lines/cooler, but there's so little volume relative to the rest of the system in there that it's not worth it as long as you do regular changes. Only time you need to do the entire flush IIRC is if you're swapping transmissions or doing an entire trans rebuild. |
That's the thing. This is the only time I changed the fluid. I think I'm gonna go back and get it done. Gonna be a pain in the ass but I'd rather do it this way for piece of mind. I did this job this past weekend so I am assuming the lines and oil cooler had fluid flow through them. The question is would I need to drive the car again today past the 75 degree Celsius or just bring the car in and top it up during the 30 degree to 40 degree mark.
