Transmission Cooler: Description and Operation

Transmission Cooling

COMPONENT LOCATION









INTRODUCTION
Transmission cooling is provided by a transmission fluid cooler, which transfers heat from the transmission to the engine cooling system. The transmission fluid cooler is attached to the lower fan cowl on the rear of the cooling module.
Two hose and pipe assemblies connect the transmission fluid cooler to the automatic transmission. Two engine coolant hose connections are incorporated into the transmission fluid cooler for the supply and return of coolant from the engine cooling system. For additional information, refer to Engine Cooling
Fluid from the pump in the automatic transmission flows through the feed hose and pipe to the transmission fluid cooler. The fluid then flows through the transmission fluid cooler, and the return hose and pipe, to the sump of the automatic transmission.
