WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Econoline, 2003 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission fluid cooling system, without an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler (7A095), consists of:
- An intank fluid cooler inlet tube (7A030)
- A non-repairable intank transmission fluid cooler
- An intank fluid cooler return tube (7A031)
The transmission fluid cooling system, with an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, consists of:
- An intank fluid cooler inlet tube
- A non-repairable intank transmission fluid cooler
- Fluid cooler hoses
- Hose clamps
- An auxiliary transmission fluid cooler
- A fluid cooler return tube
The transmission fluid flows from the transmission (front fitting for 4R100) (bottom fitting for 4R70W), to the intank transmission fluid cooler, to the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, if so equipped, and returns to the transmission (rear fitting for 4R100) (top fitting for 4R70W).
For fluid cooler flow testing, and backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION-4R100 or AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION-4R70W .
