The Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) cooler is attached to the cooling fan shroud. The ATF cooler is a heat exchanger, comprises louvred fins and plates in an aluminum housing. The plates allow a cross-flow of ATF and engine coolant through the ATF cooler.
The plates are immersed in engine coolant from the ATF warming valve. This provides cooling of the ATF by the temperature differential between the ATF and the engine coolant.
