Transmission Cooler: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The transmission oil cooler (1) is located under the engine oil cooler in front of the radiator and comprises a single row matrix incorporating twelve coolant tubes is fitted. Pre-formed feed and return pipes/hoses are used to link the transmission and oil cooler.

OPERATION
Oil is pumped under pressure from the transmission through the feed pipe (2) into the oil cooler. Ambient air, forced through the front grille of the vehicle and assisted by the pull of the viscous fan, is dispersed over the oil cooler. The cooled oil then passes through the return pipe (3), which is routed under the engine to run parallel with the feed pipe back to the LH side of the transmission.
