Transmission Fluid Cooler
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If the transmission is disassembled to install new parts, backflush and clean the transmission fluid cooler and transmission fluid cooler tubes.
NOTE:
Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system, along with following all the normal cleaning and inspection procedures during disassembly and reassembly, keeps contaminants from entering the transmission, causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles or clutch plate material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed from the system before the transmission is put back into use. For backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to Transaxle Transmission Cooling
