Transmission Fluid Cooler

Transmission Fluid Cooler

CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts, the transmission fluid cooler lines must be cleaned and backflushed. A new oil-to-air (OTA) cooler must be installed.

NOTE: Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with following all the normal cleaning and inspection procedures during disassembly and reassembly will keep contamination from re-entering the transmission and causing a repeat repair.

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed from the system before the transmission is put back into use.
