Transmission coolers protect your transmission from overheating. When you tow heavy loads, your transmission cooler helps to regulate the temperature of your transmission by keeping it cool. Towing objects like trailers and boats add lots of stress and heat to the transmission system. A common reason for automatic transmission failure is due to overheating transmission fluid and transmission system. One thing that may be to blame for the increase of overheating transmissions is the downscaled and economized engines and transmissions in the hope to get the best fuel economy. Although the reason for the downsized makes sense, it does require more work from in the engine and transmission, especially during heavy towing. For that reason, transmission fluid is not just a necessity for heavy towing, but also extremely hot or cold weather, major inclines, and frequent stopping from traffic. The transmission fluid also plays a huge role in keeping automatic transmissions cool. If the temperature of an automatic transmission goes beyond 200 Fahrenheit, your transmission function will be become overworked, which can result in overheating the transmission fluid. Overheating can damage parts in the transmission or the transmission as a whole. Transmission coolers are a required component in automatic transmissions that have the likelihood of extra wear. Coolers ensure that your transmission maintains an ideal temperature throughout the system so that you get the most out of your transmission. The location of transmission coolers is important.
