Transmission coolers help to protect your transmission under high heat conditions. Most people only think trucks are subject to these conditions caused by towing boats, trailers and other heavy objects but cars can be subject to the same failures.

Newer cars have limited space under the hood and with hot temps like stop and go traffic the temperatures can climb. It’s not just automatics, CVT transmissions by nature run at warmer temperatures and seem to be more susceptible to deteriorated fluid and heat related failures.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of automatic transmissions fail and many of them are due to overheating of the fluid. Most of this overheating is due to today’s vehicles being engineered with downsized engines and transmissions in an effort to maximize fuel economy. We demand the same or better performance from these smaller, more efficient powertrains, therefore they must work harder than ever before.

The addition of an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler is becoming much more common. Many OEM manufacturers are recommending the addition of a transmission cooler if you carry extra passengers or cargo, drive in stop-and-go traffic, drive in hot/cold weather, or climb steep inclines.

Due to the extra strain placed on today’s vehicles, transmissions require a lot more from the fluid than ever before. The fluid must lubricate the moving parts, clean the interior surfaces, protect against corrosion, transmit energy, and most of all, cool the transmission.

When an automatic transmission’s temperature exceeds 210F, the transmission fluid is pushed to its limits. Overheated transmission fluid will break down causing seals to crack, moving parts to clash, and leaks to occur. Go Powertrain’s GPT aluminum-construction transmission fluid coolers are among the best in the business. Our coolers offer maximum heat dissipation by constantly swirling and agitating the fluid as it flows through the cooler. We ensure that every transmission maintains the ideal temperature for smooth shifting and long-life.
