Choosing Transmission Coolers
Transmissions have a lot of work to do: They have to keep your engine's
revolutions per minute (RPMs) within a usable range and transmit the
power from those rotations to the drive wheels at speeds anywhere from 1
to more than 100 miles per hour (1 to more than 161 kilometers per hour).
This generates a lot of heat, and in order to keep this heat low,
transmissions rely on a slippery, oily-like substance that lubricates and
cools the moving parts.
Sometimes the transmission fluid just isn't enough to keep everything
cool. There are times when the fluid temperature can exceed the maximum
range of 160 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (71 to 93 degrees Celsius), and
when this happens the fluid begins to burn. This decreases the amount of
fluid running through your transmission, which in turn can seriously
damage all of the important moving parts within the transmission. The
transmission is often one of the most expensive parts of your vehicle to
repair, and replacing it is usually the last thing on a vehicle owner's
mind.
Installing a transmission cooler is an extra precaution against
overheating your transmission, and many people decide to use them in tow
vehicles. Transmission coolers come in many different shapes and sizes,
and there are a few things to consider when choosing one.
Perhaps the most important factor to consider is the tow vehicle itself.
How much does the truck or RV weigh? How much cargo will you be carrying?
How much is the trailer weight? Is that the most weight that you expect
to carry? Matching a transmission cooler to your vehicle's gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) is critical to allow this add-on cooler to operate
properly. You can investigate all of this yourself online, or you could
consult a professional for some (hopefully) solid advice.
Another point to consider is the terrain where you will be doing most of
your towing. Will you be towing across long, flat stretches of highway or
will you be towing in an urban environment where stop-and-go traffic is
the daily routine? What about hilly or even mountainous terrains? Pulling
a heavy load up a steep grade can generate a lot of heat in an engine and
transmission. Will the transmission cooler be able to cool it down?
There's actually quite a bit more to consider than that, but at least now
you're thinking of some of the variables that you need to consider when
you're choosing a transmission cooler.

alternately u can go to chop shop.can get around rm 150-200.really worth it if u drive your car like tengku Djan when he was drifting other then that, i dont see why u need the ATF cooler. the most important thing is use good ATF.as for me oil cooler are more esential rather then ATF cooler cause i got 1 car powered by natural Gas (NGV). so its really worth it!
a new hope...
