⚠️ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION & APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

To maintain reliability and warranty eligibility, the following are required on high-performance applications:

🔥 Cooling System

✔ External auxiliary transmission cooler required

✔ Proper airflow to cooler

✔ Clean cooler lines (flushed or replaced)

✔ Transmission temperatures must be controlled under load

Excessive heat will void warranty coverage.

🧠 Proper Engine & PCM Tuning

✔ Correct shift scheduling

✔ Proper line pressure command

✔ No abusive torque management disable

✔ No unsafe lock-up strategies

Improper tuning can cause clutch failure and is not covered under warranty.

🔧 Engine & Driveline Requirements

✔ Crankshaft endplay must be within OEM specification

✔ Thrust bearing condition must be verified

✔ Converter pilot must properly seat in crank

✔ Flexplate must be correct balance (external vs internal)

✔ Driveshaft angles must be within specification

✔ U-joints and mounts must be in good condition

Improper crankshaft endplay or thrust bearing failure can cause transmission damage and is not covered under warranty.

⚙️ Break-In Procedure

✔ Proper fluid type (ATF+4 required)

✔ Initial heat cycle and fluid recheck

✔ Avoid aggressive throttle during initial break-in
