Automatic Transmission

NOTICE: Do not attempt to backflush and clean the Oil-To-Air (OTA) transmission fluid cooler. Install a new OTA transmission fluid cooler as part of a transmission overhaul or exchange. Failure to follow these directions may result in transmission damage.

The automatic transmission fluid cooling system consists of the following:

- Rear transmission fluid cooler tube, rear of transmission to quick connect
- Rear transmission fluid cooler tube, front of transmission to quick connect
- Quick connect secondary latches
- Front transmission fluid cooler tube assembly
- In-tank transmission fluid cooler
- Auxiliary Oil-To-Air (OTA) transmission fluid cooler
- Hose clamps

The transmission fluid flows from the front transmission fluid fitting on the transmission, through the transmission fluid cooler tube assembly to the in-tank transmission fluid cooler. The transmission fluid flows from the in-tank transmission fluid cooler to the OTA transmission fluid cooler and returns to the rear transmission fluid fitting on the transmission.

For transmission fluid cooler flow testing and transmission fluid cooler backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to Automatic Transmission/Transaxle &/or Transmission Control Systems.
