What are the symptoms of a transmission cooler failure?
What are the symptoms of a transmission cooler failure?
1. Transmission Line Leak One of the most obvious transmission cooler failure or blown transmission line symptoms is a leak. When a line leaks, there will be transmission fluid on the ground near where the leak is coming from.
What to do if your transmission cooler is leaking?
If you simply notice that a line is leaking, that can be a simple fix depending on the location of the leak and line itself. Depending on the transmission cooling system routing, it is not too uncommon to have the transmission cooler lines leaking at the radiator if the lines are starting to rust.
What do you need to know about transmission cooler installation?
The below transmission cooler installation diagram shows the transmission fluid flow direction and how the fluid will be routed through a new external cooler. You will need to determine which line is the return for the transmission.
What kind of transmission cooler do you need for drag racing?
With the high demands of your transmission during a drag race, it is important to makes sure you have lines that can withstand the consistent fluid pressure in the lines. On many race applications, aftermarket braided transmission cooler lines are preferred over the factory metal and rubber lines.

Can a transmission cooler leak at the radiator?
Depending on the transmission cooling system routing, it is not too uncommon to get a transmission cooler line leak at the radiator if the lines are starting to rust. When in good condition, transmission fluid is a very bright red, so it is very easy to notice on most surfaces.

What’s the best way to cool transmission fluid?
This cooler uses a stacked-plate design that provides more efficient cooling. Mishimoto doesn’t make any claims about how much you can expect this cooler to reduce your transmission fluid temperatures, but satisfied buyers say their transmission fluid temperatures are 20- to 40-degrees Fahrenheit cooler than before.
