INTRODUCTION
The transmission fluid cooler is a separate cooling unit located behind the engine cooling radiator. The transmission is connected to the fluid cooler via flexible hoses and metal pipes.
The transmission cooler is a dedicated fluid cooler which is connected into the engine cooling system circuit. The transmission fluid is cooled by the temperature differential between the transmission fluid and the engine coolant flowing through the cooler.
Fluid is supplied from the transmission fluid pump into the Right Hand (RH) connection of the cooler. After passing through the cooler, the fluid passes out of the Left Hand (LH) connection and is returned to the transmission fluid pan.
