Abstract

A transmission fluid conditioning apparatus and method for facilitating the conduction of a transmission coolant flow test includes the provision of a fluid receptacle in the form of an open ended container having a internal volume for receiving a test amount of transmission coolant fluid. At least the transmission fluid flow filter is prestored within the fluid receptacle to facilitate use of the fluid receptacle in conducting a coolant flow test each time the transmission filter is replaced on a vehicle. Filter installation connection components including at least one of a hose, hose clamp and hose fitting, may also be prestored within the container. A closure lid is removably mountable over the open end of the container. Indicia are formed on the fluid receptacle for indicating good and bad coolant flow tests by the fluid level within the receptacle within a predetermined test time period. Printed instruction for conducting a transmission coolant flow test may also be provided on a label attached to the fluid receptacle.
