3 INSTALLATION: (Refer to DIAGRAM, page 5) LUBE PUMP INSTALLATION WARNING: Failure to follow the procedures listed below will void the warranty on your pump. NOTE 1: Step 1. NOTE 2: NOTE 3: REMOVE UNDERBODY AERO COVER AND DISCARD. The pump is to be mounted in the engine compartment to any suitable flat metal surface. The pump mounting bracket may be used. Use the four ¼ x 1 ¼ selftapping metal screws (provided) to mount the pump. Locate the pump in the upper part of the engine compartment, under the hood. This is important to keep the pump from being exposed to the weather and other harsh elements. Mount the pump vertically or horizontally to help insure no water can collect and cause failure. Do not mount in the fender well or behind the bumper. This will void the warranty. Included in this kit is a pump mounting bracket assembly (p/n ). This allows the pump to be installed on the strut tower, the firewall or the radiator support as examples. (See a suggested pump mounting location on page 6, pic. 1.) (LP-HP003) Hardware Pack SELECTOR VALVE INSTALLATION The selector valve is installed into the existing transmission/cooler lubrication line, which carries the fluid from the transmission to the vehicle (cooler). A second line (hose) normally runs alongside this line to carry the fluid from the cooler back to the transmission. 1. NOTE 1: Refer to the DIAGRAM, page NOTE 2: Some orderly planning should be given to the location of the selector valve. 3. NOTE 3: Make sure the hoses will not be damaged by road hazards, other moving parts, sharp edges, or hot exhaust parts. The valve can be secured by using plastic ties included in the kit. Also, hoses should not be bent too sharply causing a restriction in the fluid flow. 3

4 WARNING: THE SELECTOR VALVE MUST BE CONNECTED INTO THE HOSE, WHICH CARRIES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE COOLER WHEN THE VEHICLE S ENGINE IS RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL (N). 1. To determine which hose must be used, disconnect one of the hoses from the transmission. (Expect a small amount of fluid to drain from the line). 2. Attach the 3/8 hose provided in the kit one of the transmission lines and arrange the hoses in a container. 3. Have an assistant momentarily start the engine or crank the engine with the starter to cause fluid to flow from the line. 4. If fluid flows from the hose, you have disconnected the proper line (transmission). If no fluid flows from the line then you have disconnected the radiator hose which is incorrect. If you have disconnected the radiator hose please repeat the steps and connect to the proper line. CONNECTING THE PROPER HOSE TO THE SELECTOR-VALVE 1. Determine the appropriate location in the hose for the selector valve. If necessary, use one of the supplied hoses (cut to a suitable length) to get the selector valve above the road hazards. 2. Using one of the hose clamps, connect the rubber transmission hose coming from the transmission port to the Trans connection of the LP, Selector Valve Assembly. 3. Using one of the hose clamps, connect the rubber hose coming from the vehicle cooler to the cooler connection of the LP, Selector Valve Assembly. 4. The PUMP connection of the selector valve will later be connected to the pump. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Remove the transmission drain plug from the bottom of the transmission and install the Sump fitting ( ) supplied with this kit. Using one of the hose clamps (provided), connect one end of the 8-ft. length of the 3/8 hose to the input side of the lube pump. Carefully route the 3/8 hose to the Sump fitting on the bottom of the transmission. Cut the hose to a suitable length. Using one of the hose clamps connect the 3/8 hose to the Sump fitting. Make sure hose clamps are securely tightened on all connections Using a suitable length of 3/8 hose and one of the hose clamps, connect one end of a supplied hose to the output side of the pump. 4

5 NOTE 1: When routing the 3/8 hoses to the pump, filter, selector valve, and to the transmission, be sure to route them where road hazards, other moving parts, sharp edges, or hot exhaust parts will not damage them. Selector Valve Note the arrow on the filter Step 5. Route the other end of the 3/8 hose to the input side of the filter and connect it to the filter with the FLOW ARROW on the filter pointing away from the pump. WARNING: THE LINE FROM THE PUMP MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE FILTER WITH THE FLOW ARROW ON THE FILTER POINTING AWAY FROM THE PUMP. Aux Cooler Installation Using a suitable length of 3/8 hose and one of the hose clamps, connect one end of the hose to the output end of the filter. Route the other end of the 3/8 hose from the filter to either port of the Aux Cooler. (Refer to diagram, page 5). Using 1 hose clamp, connect the hose to the Aux Cooler. 5

6 Step 6. Using a suitable length of 3/8 hose and one of the hose clamps, connect one end of the hose to the other side of the Aux Cooler. Route the other end of the 3/8 hose from the Aux Cooler to the Selector Valve. (Refer to diagram, page 5). Using 1 hose clamp, connect the hose to the pump port on the selector valve. Note: Place the Aux Cooler in a location that allows for plenty of air to pass through. Somewhere in front of the radiator would be preferred. Step 7. When all connections are completed and all hose clamps have been securely tightened, refill the transmission with new transmission fluid. Consult the tech note on page 7-8 for the recommended procedures to make sure the proper fluid level is restored. Proper fluid level is essential for trouble free operation of the transmission as well as the lube pump.. (If this transmission has been used properly flush the transmission and torque converter and install a new filter before refilling with new fluid!)

7 Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check This procedure checks both the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself. Caution: Use Dextron VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in transmission internal damage. Note: Ensure the transmission has enough fluid in it to safely start the vehicle without damaging the transmission. With the vehicle off and the transmission fluid temperature at approximately C (68 77 F) there must be at least enough fluid to drain out of the fluid level hole. This will ensure that there is enough fluid in the sump to fill the components once the vehicle is started. Non Dipstick Level Checking Procedure 1. Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear range, pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever back to PARK (P). 3. Allow the engine to idle rpm for at least 3 minutes to allow any fluid foaming to dissipate and the fluid level to stabilize. Release the brake pedal. Note: If the TFT reading is not at the required temperature, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the vehicle until the appropriate TFT is reached. If the fluid temperature is below the specified range, perform the following procedure to raise the fluid temperature to the specification. Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is at the specified temperature. 4. Keep the engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver Information Center or a scan tool. Caution: The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is at C ( F). If the TFT is not at this temperature, operate the vehicle or allow the fluid to cool as required. Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this temperature will result in either an under or over-filled transmission. TFT 95 C under-filled, TFT 85 C over-filled. An under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage. An over-filled transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation. 5. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift lever in the PARK range. 7

8 6. While the vehicle is idling, remove the oil level set plug. Allow any fluid to drain. If the fluid is flowing as a steady stream, wait until the fluid begins to drip. If no fluid comes out, add fluid until fluid drips out. 7. Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red or dark brown. If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal particles or other debris. A small amount of friction material is a normal condition. If large pieces and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines. Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission. 8. Inspect for external leaks. Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis. 9. If the fluid was changed, reset the transmission oil life monitor if applicable 8
