An overworked radiator is common when either the engine or transmission has trouble cooling down.
And while your car’s radiator helps to cool the transmission, it’s also tasked with cooling the engine as well. Lots of heavy towing, stop and go traffic, hot climates, and your vehicle’s type and size are just a few. The ideal temperature for a transmission rests under 170 degrees, and every 20 degree increase in fluid temperature can cut the lifespan of your transmission by up to half! So what factors contribute to an overheating transmission? Let’s see. Please visit our buy online section to view the Davies Craig TRANMISSION OIL COOLER range.Transmission Cooler: The Definitive GuideĪs we’ve explained before, transmission overheating creates the majority of problems in a transmission. Transmission Oil Cooler Fitting Kit (6R80) Suits Ford Ranger and Mazda BT50ĭigital Thermatic / Electric Fan Switches Hydra-Cool Transmission Oil Cooler (Plate & Fin)ĥ/16" (8mm) Adaptor Kit - Transmission Oil Cooler to suit GM transmissions Ultra-Cool Transmission Oil Cooler (Tube & Fin) *All coolers come complete with a mounting kit, flexible hose and hose clamps. Both ultra-cool ®` and hydra-cool® come complete with the necessary accessories and instructions for quick and easy installation. The hydra-cool's® compact design is perfect for applications where available mounting space is limited.Īll Davies, Craig transmission oil coolers are 100% pressure tested to ensure the reliability and durability of the product. Hydra-cool's® unique plate and fin design allows for effective cooling, yet requires 33% less space. High efficiency turbulators in each tube direct the fluid for superior heat transfer. The Hydra-Cool ® transmission oil cooler is an effective and economical way to keep the transmission at its optimum operating temperature. Their simple design and surface area will assist extract damaging heat from the transmission in order to keep the ATF at a manageable temperature and the transmission operating smoothly. These cores are proposedįor installation to the earlier automatic transmissions produced and sold prior toġ990. The Ultra-Cool ® finned-tube contemporary style oil cooler core is designed in the traditional and classical style heat exchange assembly. Hydra-Cool ® plate and fin style - suitable for all vehcles.Ultra-Cool ® tube and fin style - recommended for vehicles manufactured prior to 1990.A reduction of just 1°c (20°f) can double the life of an automatic transmission, the fluid and all internal parts. Higher internal temperatures also increase the wear rate of the friction and clutch plates.Įxcessive transmission heat is caused by the following driving conditions:ĭavies, Craig transmission oil coolers have a 3 year warranty and can reduce the atf's temperature by as much as 33°c (60°f). Subsequently, the life span of the fluid, seal and moving parts are significantly reduced. When transmission temperatures exceed 93°c (200°f), the ability of atf to perform is greatly diminished. Due to the tremendous heat generated in an automatic transmission, an auxiliary transmission oil cooler is an economical way to help protect against costly transmission repairs.Īutomatic transmission fluid (ATF) cools, lubricates and cleans internal transmission components.
