Installing the transmission cooler

The short answer is most likely yes. Overheating creates the majority of problems when it comes to a vehicle’s transmission. What factors contribute to an overheating transmission? It includes but is not limited to: lots of heavy towing, stop and go traffic, hot climates and a vehicle’s type/size are just a few. The radiator helps the transmission but it also pulls double duty by cooling the engine as well – only half helping the transmission.

Whether you’re towing a trailer or sitting in the heat, your transmission is working harder and expending more energy to carry the extra weight or deal with the temperature, leading to a higher probability of future transmission failure.

 

What does a transmission cooler do?

The transmission cooler helps prevent your tranny from overheating

To read more about what a transmission cooler does, visit our blog Beat the Heat with a Transmission Cooler. Basically what you need to know is this: a transmission oil cooler helps to add extra fluid capacity to your transmissions cooling system. It does not affect any other component of your car as its only role is to cool the transmission fluid.

 

How much does it cost if you burn up your transmission?

We don’t want to give you a heart attack with this number, but on average replacing your transmission if it overheats and burns up can be up to $8,000 depending on how much damage it does when it does burn up. Instead, transmission coolers installed by Torklift Central start at $330, depending on the application and labor. So, by spending $330 you save yourself from potentially having to fork out $8,000 to fix your transmission after overheating it. We think that’s a pretty good deal!

The tranny cooler doesn't effect anything else in your car - just the transmission!

While transmission coolers can be installed on any vehicle, it is absolutely imperative that it matches your gross vehicle weight rating (GVRW). This is critical to making sure that the cooler works properly.
