Select the correct
transmission cooler by determining where there is enough space to mount it.
The diagram on the left numbers the best three positions to mount the
transmission cooler in order. Transmission coolers are more efficient
when they receive maximum air flow. At Position 1, the transmission cooler
is 100% efficient. Position 2, between the air conditioning condenser
and radiator, is 75% efficient while Position 3, between the radiator and
fan, is only 60% efficient. If positions 2 or 3 are used, a
larger transmission cooler will be needed to compensate for the loss of
cooling power. If this is the case, choose a transmission cooler that
is one or two sizes larger.
Tech Tips: Transmission fluid can not be over
cooled, but it is critical in extreme cold conditions to allow the vehicle
to warm up before driving.
