If the dimension is greater than 5 mm, the clip was overstretched and it must be replaced.

Do not bend the clip together. Otherwise the coupling could loosen later and transmission fluid could leak out.

-- Check the transmission fluid level and add if necessary. Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL, CHECKING AND ADDING .
