Description And Operation: Introduction

Transmission cooling is provided by a transmission fluid cooler, which transfers heat from the transmission to the engine cooling system. The transmission fluid cooler is attached to a mounting bracket on the front subframe, in the front left corner of the engine compartment.

Two hose and pipe assemblies connect the transmission fluid cooler to the automatic transmission. Two engine coolant hose connections are incorporated into the top of the transmission fluid cooler for the supply and return of coolant from the engine cooling system.

For additional information, Refer To: Engine Cooling (Description and Operation).

Fluid from the pump in the automatic transmission flows through the feed hose and pipe to the transmission fluid cooler. The fluid then flows through the transmission fluid cooler, and the return hose and pipe, to the sump of the automatic transmission.
