Transmission Oil Cooler

DESCRIPTION






An air-to-oil transmission oil cooler is standard on all engine packages. the cooler is located between the radiator and air conditioning condenser.

OPERATION
The transmission oil is routed through the cooler where heat is removed from the transmission oil before returning to the transmission. The cooler has an internal thermostat that controls fluid flow through the cooler. When the transmission fluid is cold (less than operating temperature) the fluid is routed through the cooler bypass. when the transmission fluid reaches operating temperatures and above, the thermostat closes off the bypass allowing fluid flow through the cooler. The thermostat MUST be removed from the cooler before the cooler can be flushed. The thermostat is serviceable.
