Transmission oil cooler

The cooler that keeps automatic gearbox fluid at temperature, either as a separate radiator or as a section inside the main radiator's end tank.

How you know it is this

  • A gearbox overheat warning, usually after towing or heavy traffic
  • Coolant that looks pink and milky — gearbox fluid has got into it
  • Harsh shifting when hot that is fine when cool

Worth knowing before you buy

  • WHERE THE COOLER IS INSIDE THE RADIATOR, an internal failure mixes coolant and gearbox fluid. Coolant in a gearbox destroys the clutch packs, and that is a gearbox rebuild rather than a radiator.
  • Pink milky coolant means stop driving. Every mile after that costs more.
  • A separate external cooler is cheaper to replace and easier to inspect.

What we need to quote it. The gearbox code, and whether the cooler is external or in the radiator. The chassis number settles the generation, the body and usually the engine in seventeen characters — it is on your mulkiya. A photograph of the old part helps where there is more than one version.
