Change the Power Shuttle Fluid

  1. Place the bucket under the pan case for the power shuttle. Unscrew the drain plug and let the fluid drain into the bucket.

  2. Loosen and remove the bolts from the pan case with the socket wrench. Pull the pan off the case.

  3. Remove the suction screen from the pan and examine it for wear and damage. Clean the suction screen using a stiff-bristle brush and grease solvent.

  4. Verify that the oil pan is free of cracks that can cause a fluid leak. Wipe the oil pan clean with a cloth or rag. Brush the inside of the oil pan using the brush and grease solvent.

  5. Reattach the pan to the case by tightening the bolts. Fill the reservoir for the shuttle fluid using Case Hy-Tran Ultra. Start the engine and test the power forward and reverse.
