TRANSMISSION

MAINTENANCE

Transmission maintenance is

minimaL

Keep

the exterior

housing

clean,

check the

fluid

level

as

part of

your

regular

routine,

and

change

the

fluid

every

300

operating

hOUTS.

Periodically inspect the

transmission

and

the

cooler

for

leaks

and

corrosion.

Make

certain

the

air

vent

is

clear

and

when

checking the

fluid

level

look

for

signs

of

water

contamination

(fluid

will

appear

as

strawberry

cream).

Lay"up/Winterize

Storage

requires

special care.

Follow

these

procedures:

o

Drain

the

water

from

the

transmission

oil

cooler

and

replace it

with

a proper mixture of antifreeze coolant.

NOTE:

This

operation will usually occur

when

the

engine

raw water cooling system

is

properly winterized.

o

Clean

up

the

transmission

and

touch-up

unpainted

areas

(use

heat resistant paint).

o Fill the transmission

with

Dextron

III

ATF

fluid

to

prevent

internal

corrosion.

(Extended

storage

only,

12

months

or

more).

o

Loosen

attaching

hardware

froin

the

transmission

output

flange

and

propeller shaft

coupling

flange

before

removing

the

boat

from

the

water.

Separate

the

flanges

and

spray

with

lubricant.

o

Inspect

the

gear shift cable, linkage,

and

attachments.

Look

for

corrosion

of the

end

fittings,

cracks

or cuts

in

the

conduit,

and

bending of

the

actuator

rods.

Lubricate

all

moving

parts.

NOTE:

ljthe

transmission

is

to

be storedfor a long

time

(twelve months or more), it

slwuld

be

topped offwith

fluid

to

prevent internal

corrosion.

Reduce the

fluid

level

before

putting

tlze

engine back into service.

OIL

COOLERS

The continued

flow

of

raw

water

through

the

cooler will, in

time,

erode

the inside

of

the cooler

causing

cross

leaks

to

occur.

These

internal cooler

leaks

will cause one of the

following

two

problems:

1.

Transmission

fluid

will leak

into

the

flow

of

raw

water

and

be

discharged

overboard

through

the engine exhaust.

A

loss

of

transmission

fluid

will

cause

tlze

transmission

to

faiL

2.

The

raw

water

will

leak

into

the

transmission

fluid

caus-

ing

an

increase

in

transmission

fluid.

This

contaminated

fluid

will

appear

as

strawberry

cream.

The

transmission

will eventually fail.

Either

case

requires

an

immediate

response:

1.

Install a

new

oil

cooler.

2.

Refill

the

transmission

with

DEXTRON

III

ATF.

BORG

WARNER

is

aware

of

the

shock

loads

that

can

be

placed

on

its

gears

as

the

result of

mechanical

propeller

oper-

ation

or

fully

reversing

of

the

propeller blades

while

shifting.

Therefore

torque

loads

and

directional

changes

should

be

made

at

low

engine

speeds.

If

it

is

found

that a

failure

was

caused

by

a shock

load,

any

warranty

claim

will

be

denied.

A

CAUTION:

System-related

noises

or

vibrations

can

occur

at

low

engine

speeds

which

can

cause

gear

rattle

resulting

in

damage

to

the

engine

and/or

transmission.

BORG

WARNER

is

not

responsible

for

total

system-

related

torsional

vibration

of

this

type.

If

any

problems

occur

with

the

transmission,

see

TRANSMISSION

TROUfJLESHOOTING

in

this

manual.

If

water

has

contaminated

the

fluid,

the

transmission

fluid

needs

to

be

cleaned

out

and

replaced

with

fresh

fluid.

It

will

take

several

fluid

changes

to

get

rid

of

the

contamination.

Check

your

dipstick

each

time

until

it

appears

as

pure

trans-

mission

fluid.

Change

the

transmission

filter

and

clean

out

the

fluid

lines

that

connect

to

the

cooler.

If

the

transmission

fails

to

shift

properly,

it

will

most

likely

need

the

attention

of a

qualified

transmission

service

facility.

A

transmission

cooler

may

last

ten

years

or

more

but,

in

some

circumstances.

depending

on

operating

hours,

tropical

waters,

maintenance,

etc.

it

might

only

last half

that

time.

WESTERBEKE

recommends

having

a

spare

cooler

aboard.
