Transmission Cooling - Overview

NOTE: The gearset and clutch use different fluids. Be sure to use the correct fluid when filling the gearset or clutch.

This vehicle is equipped with two oil-to-air transmission fluid coolers mounted behind the LH rear wheel well, a gearset fluid cooler and a clutch fluid cooler. The gearset fluid travels from the transmission through the cooler and back to the transmission. The clutch fluid travels from the clutch housing through the cooler and back to the clutch housing. The clutch cooler and gearset cooler have cooling fans that turn on when the clutch fluid and gearset fluid reach a predetermined temperature. The transmission fluid coolers transfer heat from the gearset and clutch fluid to the outside air.

The transmission fluid coolers and tubes cannot be cleaned. If any debris is found in the coolers or tubes, correct the cause and install new coolers and tubes.
