Perth Automatic Transmission Coolers
An automatic transmission works hard and generates a lot of heat. Car transmissions rely on automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to keep cool. If the ATF goes above 70°C to 90°C the cooling ability is greatly reduced. As a result the transmission will overheat and severe damage could occur to the vehicle.
Transmission coolers have one job – to keep the automatic transmission fluid cool and keep the transmission at its optimal temperature. All automatic transmission equipped vehicles have a transmission cooler built into the radiator. But if you tow heavy loads, live in a hot climate or drive in stop and start traffic you may need an auxiliary transmission oil cooler.
These types of driving conditions can cause transmission overheating and premature transmission failure. An auxiliary transmission cooler is an extra precaution and will save you from costly transmission repairs down the track.
Like everything with a car, regular maintenance is also important for optimal performance. Auto Trans R Us can service your cooler to make sure your transmission is in good condition and all tubing, joints and hoses are intact.
Due to a high volume of service bookings, our current lead time is approximately 4 weeks. All service bookings will require the vehicle for a full day from 8am, no exceptions.




FAQs
Keeping Your Transmission From Overheating: The transmission cooler’s job is to keep the automatic transmission fluid inside your transmission cool. The optimal temperature for the fluid and your transmission is between 70°C to 90°C. If the ATF fluid temperature goes above this point especially if this happens frequently it can cause costly vehicle repairs.
Prolong the Life of Your Transmission: Under normal driving conditions your vehicle’s stock transmission cooler should be able to cool the ATF fluid. But if you drive hard, tow heavy loads or live in a hot climate this may not happen. If hot ATF fluid gets back into the transmission it can cause severe vehicle damage. But with an auxiliary transmission cooler and engine oil coolers your car transmission will be in better condition for longer.
Save Money: Controlling transmission temperature is key to avoiding costly repairs. When you invest in a transmission cooler you can prolong the life of your transmission and prevent damage to its internal components. That means fewer trips to the mechanic!
