ANSI Standard Z87.1 — SAFE PRACTICE FOR OCCUPATION AND EDUCATIONAL EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
— obtainable from the American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018
The following safety alert symbols identify important safety messages in this manual. When you see one of the
symbols shown here, be alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the message that follows.
WARNING – MOTION HAZARDS
Engine parts that are in motion can cause serious injury or death. When working near moving engine parts,
wear snug fit clothing and keep hands, fingers and hair away from moving parts. Keep hoses and tools
clear of moving parts. Hoses and tools can be thrown through the air if not kept clear of moving engine
parts. Never wear loose fitting clothing or allow long hair to be exposed to the engine compartment.
The unexpected movement of a vehicle can cause serious injury or death. When working on a vehicle,
always set the parking brake or block the wheels of the vehicle being serviced.
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the T- T ECH and save them for future reference.
Before using the T- T ECH, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety information
provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’
instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in
the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near
batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks
are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all cautionary material on the T- T ECH and in
the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when
working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may cause
severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's Owner's Manual.

WARNING – HEAT HAZARDS
Vehicle transmissions can be very hot and the fluid is under pressure when the vehicle is running.
Opening a hot, pressurized transmission line can cause hot transmission fluid to be forcibly sprayed
in all directions. Wait until the engine has cooled in the vehicle being serviced before removing a
system line or in any way opening the vehicle transmission system when the system is hot and under
pressure.
Many component parts, in a vehicle that has been running, are hot and can cause serious skin burns.
Take care to not touch hot components. Wait until the vehicle has cooled before attempting to
service.
WARNING – POISONOUS FLUID HAZARDS
This fluid exchanger is intended for transmission fluid only. Transmission fluid is poisonous if
ingested. Ingesting transmission fluid can cause serious illness. Keep transmission fluid where children
and pets cannot get to it. If some transmission fluid should be accidentally swallowed, take the person
or pet in for medical assistance immediately. Be sure to identify to the doctor specifically what it was
that was ingested. If medical assistance is not immediately available, call the local poison center.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If skin contact is made, flush affected area with water and wash
immediately. For eye contact, flush with water and apply a suitable eye wash. If irritation persists,
contact a physician.
WARNING – FUME HAZARDS
FUMES, GASSES, AND VAPORS CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, ILLNESS, AND DEATH!
Breathing vehicle exhaust emissions can cause sickness, injury, or death. Always work in a properly
ventilated area when servicing a vehicle with the engine running. Never run an engine without proper
ventilation for its exhaust.
Stop the exchange process if you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation. Eye, nose, or
throat irritation indicates inadequate ventilation. Stop work and take necessary steps to improve
ventilation in the work area.
A BATTERY EXPLOSION CAN INJURE, AND CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE! A spark near a battery
can cause an explosion. To reduce the risk of a spark near a battery, make the positive connection to
the battery first then the negative connection to the vehicle chassis, at a point away from the battery.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Do not tip or rock the T- T ECH . Such actions could result in serious injury or property damage. Always
lock the wheels when stationary to avoid unintentional movement of the T- T ECH .
WARNING – T I P OVER HAZARDS
!
WARNING: This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Hot transmission fluid, under pressure, can injure the eyes. Always wear eye protection (safety
glasses) when opening transmission lines to protect the eyes against hot fluids being forcefully
sprayed into them. Ordinary glasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
Always clean up transmission fluid spills immediately. Transmission fluid is very slippery when spilled.
WARNING – FLUIDS UNDER PRESSURE

INTRODUCTION
About This Manual
This manual includes a Safety Summary, Operating Procedures, Machine Preparation, Maintenance Instructions and
Troubleshooting Procedures for transmission fluid exchanging. Anyone intending to use this machine should
become familiar with all the information included in this manual (especially the Safety Summary) before attempting
to use the Transmission Fluid Exchanger. In order to properly perform a complete transmission fluid exchange,
follow all procedures in the order presented. Please take the time to study this manual before operating the
machine. Then keep this manual close at hand for future reference.
The T-TECH Process
Heat is the enemy of transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is a combination of light base oils with an extensive
additive package to control foaming, slip, lubrication, etc. Heat attacks the additive package and oxidizes or burns
it away, leaving you with only the base oils.
In order to slow the oxidation of the additive package, the vehicle manufacturers have designed an oil cooler,
usually in the radiator, that passes all of the transmission fluid through it.
T-TECH uses a patented process of harnessing the pump in the vehicle’s transmission to control the flow of fluid.
This process captures the fluid coming out of the transmission and automatically directs it into the bottom of the
T-TECH cylinder. The used ATF flowing into the bottom of the cylinder pushes against the separating piston and
directs new fluid out the top of the cylinder and back into the vehicle.
The patented T-TECH system makes it IMPOSSIBLE TO HARM A VEHICLE’S TRANSMISSION. The T-TECH
process operates exclusively on the transmission pump pressure, which essentially eliminates the possibility of
over-pressure, under-pressure, overfill or underfill.
T-TECH Fluid Exchange is the preferred method of automatic transmission service because it is designed to offer
the safest and most complete exchange of fluid in the transmission, torque converter, lines and cooler.
The need for a safe and thorough exchange of used ATF has increased as the life expectancy of vehicles increases,
the demands placed on these vehicles grows and the cost of repair rises. Today, nearly every vehicle has an OEM-
recommended service for automatic transmissions.
The original pan drop method of service only captured 30% - 40% of the vehicle’s used ATF. Other mechanical
exchange machines force fluid into the vehicle under pressure and can damage the seals inside a transmission.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Although minimal, T-TECH requires some preparation before use. The following instructions describe the necessary
steps to prepare your new transmission fluid exchanger for use.
Fitting Organization
Locate the standard fittings assortment and set each fitting in the T-TECH cabinet storage position identified by the
picture mounted on the backside of the cabinet cover. The standard fittings have a specific storage location inside
the T-TECH cabinet. Most of the fittings are numerically referenced and have a color-coded band for easy
identification.
Throughout each of the operating functions performed using the T-TECH, various adapters, fittings, or attachments
will require installation in order to service a specific vehicle. This is not considered part of initial preparation for use.
In each case, the setup and connection requirements for a specific task will be added, where necessary, as part of
the procedure for that task.
Standard Fittings Assortment Descriptions
Figure 1 through Figure 14 identify the fittings/components in the standard fittings assortment.
Note: Be aware that any of these fittings along with any of the fittings in the special fittings kits can be used to
service any vehicle as needed.

Removing Air From the Cylinder
When using the T-TECH for the first time, there may be
space at the top of the cylinder (air in the cylinder). If not
corrected, this condition may short future exchanges. If for
some reason the piston is at the bottom of the cylinder, or
there is large air pocket above the piston, the piston can be
moved to the top of the cylinder by the following method.
1. Set CONTROL VALVE to SERVICE VEHICLE.
2. Attach a service hose adapter to one of the service
transfer hoses.
3. Insert an air nozzle into the end of the service hose
adapter.
4. Control the air line at 10 psi (138 kPa) or less and
begin filling the bottom of the cylinder with air.

Fill Cylinder Function
The Fill Cylinder function is used to fill the T-TECH cylinder with new ATF and empty the cylinder of old ATF.
CAUTION: Fill cylinder completely. Air below the piston will result in an incomplete exchange as this air will
compress and not move the piston at beginning of the exchange process. (This condition usually occurs only during
the initial fill.)
Using a Bulk Dispenser Gun
To use this method, a bulk dispenser gun (see Figure 38) accessory kit must be used. The accessory kit is an
optional kit not supplied with the T-TECH. The bulk dispenser gun accessory kit must be ordered separately (Part
No. FIT200, see Replacement Parts List).
CAUTION: Ensure that your air delivery system does not exceed
75 psi at the point of delivery. Many air systems have a 3:1 or 4:1
pressure ratio – this means you must dial your system down to
compensate for the output delivery ratio. Monitor the gauge on
the T-TECH control panel to ensure that 75 psi is not exceeded.
CAUTION: Fill cylinder completely. Air below the piston will result in
an incomplete exchange as this air will compress and not move the
piston at beginning of the exchange process. If this is the first time
your T-TECH machine has been filled, there will be air under the
piston instead of old ATF. The air must be allowed to exit just
as if it were old fluid. See Note on Step 3 below.
1. Determine ATF type needed for your next service.
2. Set CONTROL VALVE (on control panel on the side of the unit) to FILL CYLINDER.
3. Attach a service hose adapter to the end of each service transfer hose.
Note: Although the used fluid will exit only one service hose when filling the cylinder with new fluid,
it is critical that you connect service hose adapters to both service transfer hoses every time
you fill the T-TECH.
4. Insert both service hoses into a container suitable for collecting and disposing of old ATF. The container
must be capable of holding a minimum of 18 quarts (the full capacity of the T-TECH cylinder).
Note: Always follow your local environmental protection agency guidelines for proper disposal
of ATF.
5. Using the proper fittings that correspond to
your dispenser gun, connect the bulk dispenser
gun to the CYLINDER FILLING port on the
control panel on the side of the T-TECH
(see Figure 38) .
6. Press the trigger on the bulk dispenser gun.
The flow direction for filling new fluid from a
bulk dispenser gun is shown in Figure 39.
7. Verify that the pressure gauge on the T-TECH
control panel does not exceed a reading of
75 lbs.
8. New fluid should begin flowing into the top of
the cylinder. An equal amount of used ATF is
being displaced and forced out of the T-TECH
through one of the service hoses and into your
designated used-ATF disposal container.
9. Continue the process until the cylinder is filled
with the required amount of new ATF.

Connecting to the Vehicle
Connecting to the vehicle for service requires identifying the automatic transmission cooling lines and making the
necessary connections to exchange ATF.
Identifying Cooling Lines
Figure 40 is a diagram of a typical automobile transmission cooling system. Transmission cooling systems are
essentially the same from one vehicle to another though they may be routed differently or the fittings might be in
slightly different locations. In some systems, both lines will run to the bottom of the radiator – this is found on
radiators that have top and bottom tanks. Some cooling systems will have a secondary transmission cooler in
addition to the cooler in the radiator (see Figure 41).
Figure 40. Typical Automobile Cooling System Figure 41. Automobile Cooling System
With Secondary Transmission Cooler
Making Vehicle Service Connections
The fittings required to service ATF vary based on vehicle make, and sometimes from model to model. Make sure
the vehicle is shut off and cool. Do not open a transmission system that is hot and under pressure. Figure 42
shows some typical hookup locations. Location #1 is the fittings at the transmission. Location #2 is the fittings at
the radiator. Location #3 shows a location (typical to foreign vehicles) where a rubber hose changes to a steel
tubing line. There must be a removable hose clamp at this location in order to make a connection. Only a few
vehicles will be serviced at this location.
For the hookup procedure, we will use as an example an illustration that represents a 1992 Chevrolet 4-door Blazer,
Figure 43.
1. Always verify that the transmission fluid level is normal before you begin.
2. Look for the easiest spot to break into the transmission system (any existing connection along the entire
system can be used, see Figure 42).
Note: In this vehicle (Chevy Blazer) the top radiator line is determined (for this example) to be the easiest
location to make the T-TECH connection.
3. If available, use a transmission cooling line wrench (an open end wrench, flare nut wrench, or adjustable
wrench) to remove the cooling line from the radiator (see Figure 43).

4. Examine the vehicle fittings and compare them to
the fitting chart on the back of the T-TECH
cabinet door. In this case, a Chevrolet fitting is
required and a review of the fitting chart indicates
that FIT303 and FIT304 are the correct choices
(see Figure 44).
5. Connect the male FIT304 fitting into the radiator,
as shown in Figure 45.
6. Connect the female FIT303 fitting onto the vehicle
transmission cooling line as shown in Figure 45.
Note: The connections only need to be snug fit.
Torquing down hard is not required, but they
should still be tight enough to keep the
connections from leaking. If they begin to leak when service starts, see Troubleshooting.
7. Attach service adapter hoses to each fitting as shown in Figure 46.
8. Make certain the hose clamp is tightened on the inside of the hose clamp flare on each fitting
(see Figure 45) to keep the hose from coming off.
CAUTION: Over tightening the adapter hose clamps will destroy the hose ends over a period of time.
Clamp the hoses down with a snug fit only. If they still leak, see Troubleshooting.
9. Connect a service hose adapter to each service transfer
hose (see Figure 47). You are not required to account for
fluid flow when making this connection. The T-TECH
machine will sense the vehicle’s fluid direction and adjust
so that the used ATF from the vehicle is always coming
into the bottom of the T-TECH cylinder and the new ATF
is moved out of the top of the T-TECH cylinder and into
the vehicle transmission. When the transfer hoses have
been connected, the system should look like the
illustration in Figure 47.

Fluid Exchange Function
Use this function to exchange old automatic transmission
fluid (ATF) with new ATF.
1. With the T-TECH auto align feature, you need not
be concerned about which service transfer hose
is connected to the transmission cooling line or to
the radiator because flow direction is controlled
through the T-TECH unit.
2. Set CONTROL VALVE (on the T-TECH control
panel) to SERVICE VEHICLE (pointing straight up).
3. Start the vehicle. The pressure gauge (on the
T-TECH control panel) should read between 10
and 75 lbs., depending on the vehicle being
serviced. If the pressure is below 10 lbs. and the
piston is not moving in an upward direction, see
Troubleshooting.
4. The piston should begin to move upward in the
cylinder (see Figure 49). Notice that the old fluid
enters the cylinder under the piston. The old fluid
pumped in by the vehicle transmission pushes up
on the piston, which in turn pushes an equal
amount of new fluid out the top of the cylinder
and into the vehicle.
5. You may notice some fluid between the O-rings on the piston (see Figure 50). The presence of new ATF is
normal between the O-rings for lubrication of the piston and O-rings. However, if old ATF passes by the
O-rings and into the new ATF, O-ring replacement is needed. (See Troubleshooting)
6. When the desired amount (vehicle system capacity) of ATF has been exchanged, or the fluid in the service
hose coming from the vehicle runs clear, turn the vehicle OFF, remove all hoses and hose connections and
reconnect the vehicle transmission cooling lines.
7. Restart the vehicle.
8. Check the ATF level in the vehicle. (Check the vehicle dipstick for proper procedure. Some vehicles require
the transmission be in PARK and some in NEUTRAL.)
9. Inspect the vehicle fittings for leaks.
10. Fluid exchange is complete.

Bypass Feature
The T-TECH bypass feature allows new ATF to loop within the vehicle
when the exchange is complete and the piston is at the top of the
cylinder. This feature allows the operator to walk away (work on
something else, etc.) when the machine is running, without being
concerned about service completion. When the piston reaches the top
of the cylinder (old ATF has displaced all of the new ATF), the bypass
feature is automatically engaged. This causes the new fluid to be forced
into a loop through the vehicle and the T-TECH unit. The bypass will
continue until stopped when the operator turns the vehicle OFF.
Replace Existing New ATF with Different
New ATF
Use this procedure to replace a new fluid type that is already in the
cylinder with another type of new fluid needed to perform a current
service (e.g. the cylinder is currently filled with DEXRON III but you need
to service a Chrysler that uses MOPAR+ fluid).
To accomplish this task, the piston will be pushed to the top of the
cylinder to force any existing new ATF into a clean storage container so the fluid can be reused. See Figure 61.
1. Set CONTROL VALVE to SERVICE VEHICLE.
2. Attach a service hose adapter to each service transfer hose.
3. Insert one service hose adapter into a clean container to save the fluid that is to be removed from the
cylinder.
4. Insert your air nozzle into the open end of the other service hose adapter.
5. Apply air pressure (air pressure should be above 10 psi but should not exceed 20 psi on the system
pressure gauge).
6. The machine will sense the pressure and the piston should begin to rise. As the piston nears the top of the
cylinder, ease back on the air pressure.
7. When the piston reaches the top of the cylinder,
hold the air nozzle and service hose adapter in a
waste container with the service adapter pointing
away from any personnel. Pressurized air and
possibly some ATF will be expelled out of the end
of the service hose adapter when the air is
released and the line hose is removed.
8. Release the air pressure and remove the nozzle
from the service hose adapter.
9. Refill the cylinder with new ATF fluid of the type
required to perform the service according to FILL
CYLINDER FUNCTION. Make sure to fill the
cylinder until the cylinder is completely full of ATF
to avoid any air pockets under the piston.
