3.5.7 Dismantle and install 

3.5.7.1 Automatic transmission maintenance precaution 

Notes: 

●   Automatic transmission contains many high-accuracy parts. During disassembly and reassembly, these 

parts must be carefully processed, without scratch or damage. 

●    Lay a rubber pad on working table, keep constant clean. 

●    During dismantling, do not wear cloth gloves and any other cloth. If necessary, only use nylon cloth or 

paper towel. 

●    All dismantled parts must be cleaned, metal parts can also be cleaned by using common solution, but it 

should be blowed to dry by compressed air. 

●    Use Automatic transmission oil (ATF) to clean clutch disc, thrust piece and rubber part, after cleaning, 

keep clean. 

If the transmission is damaged, need to repair, furthermore, dismantle and wash the ATF cooler system. 

●    It is forbidden to use any oil oil, used shim, O-ring and oil seal. New gaskets, O-rings and oil seals shall be 

used for replacing always. 

●    When installing transmission, it is forbidden to use blue vaseline oil grease or other oil grease other than 

white vaseline to lubricate or maintain parts. 

●    Before installation, it is necessary to apply automatic transmission fluid (ATF) on elements, rotating parts 

and sliding parts. Prior to the installation of the driven disc or brake disc of the clutch, firstly, soak the two 
parts in oil for automatic transmission for at least 2 h. 

●    It is forbidden to apply sealant or adhesive on shim. 

●    If it is necessary to replace bushing sleeve, the assembly of bushing components must be replaced. 

●    When re-assembling, it is strictly forbidden to use any cloth gloves or cloth. You may use nylon cloth or 

paper towel if necessary. 

●    It is also necessary to replace automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in transmission cooler and oil intake 

pipe.

3.5.7.2 Check process of automatic transmission oil level 

Notes:  

●    Because the transmission oil temperature may create much effect on oil level, oil level can be checked only 

when transmission oil temperature is lower than 50°C. If the transmission oil temperature is 50 °C, but 
not executing the oil level correcting procedure later on, the oil level reading has a larger error. 

●    When inspecting oil level, make sure that the vehicle keep horizontal and balance position. 

● 

It is necessary to use Fuchs FES 209-3292 Automatic transmission oil (part No. 0578-244023) 

● 

Complete and well equipped dry transmission needs 7.5lt automatic transmission oil 

Inspection Procedure: 

1   Lifting vehicle  

2.  Install a container under oil level detection bolt 

of automatic transmission, and then loosen 
Automatic transmission oil level detection bolt. 

3.  If there is Automatic transmission oil flowing out 

of the hole, it indicates that oil level is normal. 
Re-tighten oil level inspection bolt. If there is no 
Automatic transmission oil outflows from the 
hole, which indicates that the oil level is too low, 
fill the Automatic transmission oil until the oil 
outflows from the hole.

4.  Place gearshifting rod to N position, start engine and run it at idle speed for 5 min, re-inspect automatic 

transmission oil level. If oil level is too low, refill automatic transmission oil. 

5.  After driving the vehicle for about 10min, connect the diagnostic tester to read the data about the temperature 

of the automatic transmission oil. If the temperature is below 50 , have the engine run idle until the 

℃

temperature reaches 50 . Put the shift lever in the N position, turn off the engine and re

℃

-check the oil level 

in the automatic transmission. If the oil level is too low, re-fill with the automatic transmission oil. If oil 
flows out, keep the situation for 50s. If oil still flows out from the oil level checking bolt hole 50s later, then 
this indicates the oil level is reasonable; if no oil flows out 50s later, re-fill with the automatic transmission 
oil and perform this step until oil flows out. 

6.  Tighten the oil level detection bolt. 

7.  Perform the road test to check for oil leakage.

3.5.7.3 Automatic transmission fluid replaces process 

Notes: 

●    After vehicle runs every 60,000km, it is necessary to replace transmission oil once to prevent damage of 

transmission parts. 

●    When inspecting oil level, make sure that the vehicle keep horizontal and balance position. 

● 

It is necessary to use Fuchs FES 209-3292 Automatic transmission oil (part No. 0578-244023) 

Oil change process 

1   Lifting vehicle  

2.  Install a container under the oil drain plug of 

automatic transmission, and then loosen oil drain 
plug.

3.  Open automatic transmission oil level inspection 

bolt, and fill automatic transmission oil here. 

4.  For inspection of automatic transmission oil 

level, refer to 3.5.7.2 Inspection procedures of 
autommatic transmission oil level.

3.5.7.4 Automatic transmission fluid cooling system cleaning process 

Notes: 

●   To prevent pollutants from cooling pipe and hydraulic pipe damaging transmission, it is necessary to 

clean cooling pipe and hydraulic pipe. 

●   It is necessary to clean oil cooling system after replacing transmission assembly or overhaul of 

transmission. 

Washing procedure: 

1   Lifting vehicle  

2.  Clean automatic transmission oil left in cooling 

pipeline by using compressed air. 

3.  Connect oil outlet pipe of automatic transmission 

to oil outlet, and tighten it with fixing bolt.

4.  Use one end of a rubber hose to connect oil inlet, and the other end connects to container to collect automatic 

transmission oil flowed out.   
5.  Start and have the engine run in idle mode for 30s and collect the Automatic transmission oil flowing 
out. Fill with the automatic transmission oil while the engine runs in the idle mode. 

Tips: the oil temperature of the automatic transmission is up to 50  after 30s, and 

℃

there will be at least 

2.5L Automatic transmission oil outflow. 

6.  Upon completion of collection, connect the Automatic transmission oil inlet pipe to the oil inlet. 

7.  For testing of the Automatic transmission oil level, see 3.5.7.2 Automatic transmission oil Level Inspection
