The transaxle fluid cooling system consists of:
- a non-repairable integral fluid cooler located in the RH radiator tank
- an oil-to-air (OTA) fluid cooler
- A portion of the OTA fluid cooler also cools the power steering fluid.
- a fluid cooler inlet tube assembly
- a fluid cooler outlet tube
- a tube assembly
- retaining clips
- fluid cooler hoses
- hose clamps
The transmission fluid flows from the transaxle, through the fluid cooler inlet tube assembly, through the integral fluid cooler, through the fluid cooler outlet tube, through the OTA fluid cooler, and then returns to the transaxle through the tube assembly.
For fluid cooler flow testing, and backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER- BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING .
