Transmission Cooler
A transmission cooler removes heat from automatic transmission fluid to keep it in its working temperature range.
What is Transmission Cooler?
It can be built into the radiator or be a separate cooler. It is important for towing. Some use coolant to warm the fluid quickly. Many towing packages add a larger cooler. Pink, milky fluid in the expansion tank or transmission suggests the internal cooler has failed.
How it works
Transmission fluid flows through the cooler and gives off heat.
Why it matters for your car
A leak inside a radiator cooler can mix coolant and fluid. Overheating fluid shortens transmission life.
