Transmission Oil Cooler with replacement information

What problems can Transmission Oil Cooler Replacement solve:

  • Prevent transmission overheating: The function of the transmission oil cooler is to maintain the optimal temperature of the transmission fluid. Overheating the fluid can lead to various problems, including failure. High transmission fluid temperatures accelerate wear on internal components such as gears, bearings and seals.
  • Improved Transmission Performance: Keeping transmission fluid at the correct temperature ensures its effectiveness as a lubricant and hydraulic fluid, which is essential for smooth shifting and overall transmission performance.
  • Deterioration of transmission fluid: Excessive heat can cause transmission fluid to degrade, lose its viscosity and reduce efficiency. An efficient cooler helps maintain fluid quality over time. Ineffective cooling can lead to accelerated aging and oxidation of the transmission fluid, reducing its lubricity and efficiency.
  • Costly Repairs: By preventing overheating and maintaining the quality of the transmission fluid, the cooler helps avoid costly repairs or replacement of the transmission, which will significantly reduce operating costs.
  • Fuel Economy: A well-functioning transmission operates more efficiently, which helps save fuel.
  • Preventing gear slippage: Overheating reduces the lubrication effect of the transmission fluid, which causes gear slippage. A new cooler helps prevent this problem.
  • Increased transmission life: Overheating is one of the main causes of wear and damage to the transmission. Cooling the transmission fluid helps increase the life of transmission components.

Therefore, replacing the transmission oil cooler improves the current performance of the transmission and helps prevent future problems associated with overheating and transmission wear.

Four common causes for a vehicle leaking red fluid and their related parts.
This fix will help eliminating

Car Leaking Red Fluid

The red fluid leak probably comes from the transmission or hydraulic power steering system (they typically use a red fluid). In this case, it can come from a leak in the transmission pan, cooler, wire connector seal, output shaft seal, or cooler lines. Less often, it can be related to a power steering fluid leak.

Some vehicle fluids are red-colored. Therefore, they're easier to identify when leaking. Red fluid leaking from a vehicle usually comes from either the power steering system or the transmission. Note that responding to leaks quickly is essential. If fluids run dry, your vehicle will be at risk.

You use the steering and shifting systems to control your vehicle. If these systems are compromised, driving becomes dangerous. Any leaks in these systems create red puddles under the car and result in trouble turning or shifting gears.

Transmission fluid leaks happen more often. This is because this system has connections and seals prone to leaking. Plus, your transmission pan is at the bottom of your vehicle and is vulnerable to being damaged by objects on the road.
