What Does a Transmission Cooler Do?

Transmission Cooler

A transmission cooler is not the same thing as your vehicle’s cooling system. It helps by providing an additional way to cool your transmission, which is very beneficial when you are towing heavy loads or driving extreme inclines. This extra strain on your transmission can result in overheating and wear out your transmission.


How Does a Transmission Cooler Work?

A transmission cooler uses air that circulates through the internal plates and fins to ensure the transmission fluid is at a cool temperature. It works by being extra support to cool the transmission fluid once it exits the radiator. After it comes out of the radiator, it enters into the transmission cooler for further assistance.


Without a transmission cooler, your transmission fluid will cycle through the radiator to keep to engine and transmission cool. When you have a transmission cooler installed it will allow the fluid to come out of the radiator and into the transmission cooler before going back into the transmission. This provides an extra boost to keep the transmission cool. By assisting to cool the transmission fluid it can ensure the temperature of your transmission will remain at a healthy temperature. 


Anyone who frequently drives on mountains or hauls heavy loads should consider getting a transmission cooler. The cooling system works well enough for people who don’t tow or drive extreme inclines. Though for those who put extra strain on the transmission it can benefit to have the extra assistance of a transmission cooler.
