Automatic Transmission

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Pickup, 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2008 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The automatic transmission fluid cooling system consists of the following:

The transmission fluid flows from the front transmission fluid fitting on the transmission, through the rear transmission fluid cooler tube assembly, through the front transmission fluid cooler tube assembly, to the in-tank transmission fluid cooler, to the OTA transmission fluid cooler and returns to the rear transmission fluid fitting on the transmission.

NOTE: Do not attempt to backflush and clean the Oil-To-Air (OTA) transmission fluid cooler. Install a new OTA transmission fluid cooler as part of a transmission overhaul or exchange. Failure to follow these directions may result in transmission damage.

For transmission fluid cooler flow testing and backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - TORQSHIFT article.
