- In this How to Install an Auto Transmission Cooler - Easy DIY Guide video, I show you how to install transmission cooler or transmission oil cooler to help cool our automatic transmission and stop it from overheating. An overheating auto transmission is the #1 thing that will cause damage so installing an aftermarket transmission cooler is the way to go! I install a stacked plate cooler (replacing the old tube and fin style cooler) and run through the steps needed to do it yourself in this easy DIY guide :)

►Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself' so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
►What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.

Does it matter if the 'hot' hose from the trans to cooler goes to the top or bottom barb when mounting the cooler vertically?
Julian Hunter that’s my question too
@@JRich165 im inclined to think so as it would more or less mimick that of a radiator. Hot in the top, cool out the bottom, but it would be nice to know gor sure!?
I wouldn't think it would matter however I've got hot in top cold bottom :)
This works for me y’all. I think I’ll go ahead and put in my order today. I have a 96 Camaro that I’ve just put the 3 transmission into. It keeps burning out
I just replaced the auto trans oil cooler on my '98 Montero.
From what I understand, the hot (high pressure) is at the bottom on a vertical design. Do correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you for showing how to run through stock cooler as well!
Thanks for the vids Adam. So helpful and awesome to have all this info for the Aussie RHD Jeeps
Cheers mate!!
Luckily mine had it already installed from the factory (probably part of the tow package). Anyway, solid video Adam!
Great video
Thanks!
Hi if i use external nd keping OEM cooler nd just adding external , what line will i be ctting ? Is it the sending going to external IN line or is it the OUT LINE ! Ty great vid
Wanting to put one of these in each of my cars. They are both 2003 Saturn ions with CVTs. One had 195,000 miles and the other has 160,000 miles. The one with 195,000 miles runs hotter than the one with 160,000 Miles. The GM service manual says the typical transmission fluid temp range is 158F-239F. I was driving the one with 195,000 miles on the super highway yesterday averaging about 80 MPH and the outside temp was 97F and the transmission got to 224F at the hottest once I got off the super highway it cooled down to 195F which was only 3-5 degrees hotter than the coolant Have recently replaced both drive axles and changed the transmission fluid.
Did the pressure line go to the top or the bottom of the cooler?
thanks for the video, just wondering since you're bypassing the factory cooler, do you have to cap the end of the cooler line that is no longer being used after you cut into it? if so, what did you use to cap it? if no capping is needed, will it leak (I would think no because when you splice the line, the transmission would have drained out from the factory cooler?)
Hey there, you don't have to cap if you bypass completely, I would recommend though to stop gunk getting in there if you decide to you want to try it inline or use it as a back-up 👍
I would recommend to add a magnetic in-line filter to the hot hose.
New to the Chanel today and exacting the topic I was wanting. I have a 2016 VX jest day I was towing our base station up a decent hill. Las in low 4WD. Got half way up and the 200 threw a transmission overheat code. Settled down when a lit it idle for a bit.
Where can I get a transmission cooler to suit my var
Hello there, you can get these most auto shops or online. More specialist coolers like B&M etc may not be in all stores but a quick google of your local area should tell you :)
Hi Mate, great videos. What was the factory cooler you deleted? Is that the cooler/aircon condenser? I'm asking because I am about to install a pwr cooler on my jk crd
Hey 👋 Yep the CRD uses part of the condenser as the auto cooler. I've since added it back in the loop to see if any major difference and nothing much to report, if anything takes longer to get to temp due to extra fluid I would guess. Would suggest either way would be fine :)
Great vid in deed, question! Can i use an extra tc cooler small size to run it after the condenser that has tc running trough it with a bypass valve system, that cools nd sends oil accordingly trough condenser and dryer !! I want to run another cooler bout same size as the one u have in vid , and just run the lines from condenser trough the new cooler nd back to the TC!! Also wondering if extra cooler might slow down oil fluency ?
Yep can inline no probs
Would you recommend installing trans cooler when you want to change the trans fluid to see how much fluid you need (havent changed fluid but will soon)
A quick google of your make and model should find the right amount for a factory fill. Good a time as any to install one, when you do then you know you'll need the factory amount as a start. Then just keep topping up till it's right on the dip stick.
Will this help my limp mode shut down due to “high engine temperature” while towing?
Big time! Recommended if towing. Heat kills auto transmissions. Also, if you've had that warning, there's a good chance your auto oil is already cooked, might be worth investigating changing it for fresh stuff (sorry)
Can you link to the grill you have on your wrangler?! Thats amazing, oem styling with all mesh for superior air flow, i need that! Thank you
Haha yes I thought so too :) Got from here www.jkwarehouse.com.au/
Great job you ve done.
I d like to ask, does it necessary to evacuate air from the cooling cricuit from the cooler to the transmission?
No, they're almost always self bleeding 👍
Im just a little bit lost , so those two hoses you need to cut them and get them together with the new hoses and those hoses goes to the transmission cooler ? Those 2 hoses are connected to the radiator and I need to disconnect them cut them and install them together with the new hoses and plug them to the transmission cooler , right or not ? I have a 2000 Celica Atm 2zz , want to install the mishimoto radiator and for that I need the tranmission cooler
Yeah, you can do that or leave the factory cooler in the system, to do that you just need to add the aftermarket cooler in line. The cooler with come with a diagram as well
I was thinking about getting a trans cooler for my 14 fusion titanium as I bought quite a few bolt on parts and getting tuned soon. I use Royal Purple high performance max ATF trans fluid but want to keep that trans cool and healthy 😀
How much power you making I have the same type of fusion sitting up not being driven cause I drive my 5.7 hemi jeep more for the power.
@@ninjacommunity1 I honestly don't know, I haven't bothered any tuning shops to put my car on the dyno. I got tuned by Vivid Racing but highly regret it. Car does not feel much faster at all, I should of done my research but I didn't. Now I'm saving up money to go with Torrie by Unleashed Tuning as I read nothing but very good things about him and his tuning. But I'll be getting a Xtreme DI high pressure fuel pump as well sometime in 2022. Don't think I know when to stop lmao
@@iguardwisconsinberry8830 I’m definitely looking into swapping a V8 into my fusion Ive just been busy building my jeep once I get it right then I’m going to probably slap a LS into the fusion their a cheap swap just a lot of fabrication
@@ninjacommunity1 Well it's your car bro I just wouldn't swap it. Too much work than it's worth but that is just my opinion. Their is a dude on RUclips that is doing I think a 5.0 Coyote engine swap in a fusion and it is way too much fab and time. If u wanna swap an engine then I'd say maybe swap in a 2.7 TT or the 3.0TT from the Lincoln mkz, I've seen people on reddit do that as well. Good luck to ya boss
Hey what do you do with the 2 holes on the bottom of radiator? Once the hose are connected to the cooler ?
Stick your used bubble gum in the end of each one. This way they stay clean of any debris incase you want to use them in the future. Good day mate!
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler jk with 37” tires ive been getting stuck in limp mode and it says hot oil do you think this will fix the problem
Hey mate 👋 does it still drive and shift? I'd recommend changing oil and filters as a start then yes would recommend. When you get the hot oil light in these the oil is basically already cooked and needs to be changed.. were you towing or maybe beach?
Video Show Me How hi sorry im dumb im having the same problem it keeps saying hot oil what oil do i need to change
Hey 👋 if it keeps saying hot oil I would be replacing your trans fluid with some fresh stuff then installing a cooler. What kind of driving are you doing when it says that?
Video Show Me How it only happened twice and the hot oil alarm went on for like 1 min and then it went off after a couple of hours i drove it and it had normal temperatures . My husband checked the transmission oil and it was on cold(low) with a hot engine. My car is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. And i am just doing regular driving on a street road.I feel i should install this just in case anything goes wrong.
hi sir..need your opinion about the intallation..about my car infront (grill) theres no space to fix..but my front hood have air scoop and thinking of fixing it on top of the engine..where will a selfmade carbon plate to prevent enginge heating from the bottom..now my question is ,is it have effect on the flow if fix that high?..ty ..will hear from you soon
I wouldn't recommend on top of the engine, heat soak will potentially be an issue. You can run these with a fan attached, have seen examples of these even being installed above the rear diff!
@@VideoShowMeHowbut for offroad maybe will block with mud right..for street use its acceptable.. does it have issue if instll high,coz igot roof rack,did the flow have pressure when running sir?...ty
Is it best too connect cooler in line before condenser or after condenser ? Ty
Before 👍
Any chance your transmission filters require replacement? Love to see a video on how to service the Auto transmission with filter changes.
Funny you should ask... I've got a full filter kit for the Jeep (545rfe) sitting on the shelf ready to film. Ep will be up soon 😁
@@VideoShowMeHow Look forward to it. I'm due to carry out a fliud and filter change on my JKU and any tips and tricks will def be appreciated.
At 5:13, I like how the hose is touching the sway bar. That'll never rub through, will it?
Not once zip tied outta the way 😁
@@VideoShowMeHow I'm glad you caught it early. :)
It's funny when you film these then in the edit you go hmmm did I tie that up etc then run out and check 😂😂
Seems like you replaced the tube and fins cooler and put this stacked plate and fins cooler, was the previous installed tube and fins cooler not effective?????
Is there a transmission cooler system that can automatically regulate the temperature exactly instead of just using ambient air (sometimes its hot outside) like ac but for transmission?
You can get these with an attached fan setup that will only power on at certain temp thresholds.. is this what you mean?
@@VideoShowMeHow sort of. I also mean going beyond just a fan for extreme temperature situations like towing
I tow a decent camper with the Jeep on the beach with just the cooler from the video and have no issues. A bigger cooler again and a fan would be fine for 99% applications. The other thing to consider is your torque converter lockup and understanding when it locks up. When you're auto box torque converter isn't locked it and particularly when towing it can generate a massive amount of heat. For example in the Jeep when it's really soft on the beach I will use low range as that 100% locks the torque converter and then I have no issues with heat. What kind of vehicle are you looking to install it on?
@@VideoShowMeHow ill save you the lengthy explanation of how screwed up my life is at the moment. Nissan pathfinder.
Ah sorry to hear mate. Hopefully things pick up soon, gotta keep moving forward!
why did you bypass the stock cooler?
In the JK diesel the auto cooler is shared in the ac rad, keeping seperate keeps the heat out of that system
Don’t u need a pump? How does the oil get circulated?
Nope no pump needed, your auto box has a torque converter that circulates the oil through the factory lines to the cooler and back to the auto boxes pan (hopefully a heap cooler than when it left!) Installing an aftermarket cooler simply enhances the cooler part of the system, everything else works the same 👍
Can I put it on my transmission that gets very hot?
No. Put a window a/c under your vehicle, next to the tranny. Plug it into your patio electrical outlet and get a VERY long extension cord. Good luck mate!
you can use silicon spray to lube hoses, they slip on easier.
Top tip 👌
I have a 2014 Ram hemi and the 8speed transmission is overheating big time it would get up to 240 degrees. I changed the fluid but is still overheating dont see any leaks or nothing weird going on I dont know what else to do . Would you know a reason why the transmission is overheating that much and how I can fixed this issue ? Im thinking to do this same set up you have in hope that it will fix this problem.
Does the truck overheat too? Sounds like the stock cooler could be blocked.. worth replacing filters in the box and getting the factory cooler checked or replaced
@@VideoShowMeHow No the truck doesnt overheat it runs great perfect engine temperature is just the transmission overheating alot. I also think it might be what you saying. The truck also uses the A.c condenser unit as the transmission cooler. I think I will bypass the stock cooler and just add the new cooler just like you did. Just wanted to ask someone like you who knows more than me for an advice to resolve this problem
@@ScionTc worth a shot and run a by pass, good luck
@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks for your answers I appreciate it alot.
Hi what size is that oil cooler 20 or 25 row
Yes!
Where did U purchase that cooler & for how much??
Enjoyed the vid!
Linked in the video description the one I used 👍
👌
Good Day!!!
Adam , ENJOYED your video
I have an 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited JK sahara v6 3.6
GECKO PREARL green
4 doors
automatic 35x12.50r20 NITTO RIDGE GRAPPLER TIRES
I'm having some issues with transmission getting hot
So I got a B &M COOLER WITH FAN 26000 gvw
Gvw on jeep is 5500
I'll give that a go
●|||||||● Here's a jeep wave
✌ 🖐 happy JEEPY
✌️
How much more horses will give me and can I just put water instead of trans fluid .
59+ additional HP. But don't put water instead of trans fluid. If you want to keep things cool put a small man under your chassis and tell him to blow on the trans lines to keep them cool. OR give him a small Chinese hand fan to wave at the lines. Have a good day mate!
Cooler needs to flex just like radiator with rubber mounts
Why did you pick this size cooler ?
Honestly was a good 'middle of the road' cooling capacity cooler, I don't tow crazy heavy in the Jeep but do do a bit of 4wding on the beach. If you're towing heavy they do have larger again, as well as larger units with SPAL fans attached for extreme application 😁✌️
What size would you recommend for a 2 door towing a camper trailer? Would the one you have installed be big enough?
@@nicholaswood9055 yep would work fine. I tow a 1.4t tonne camper with my unlimited up the beach no probs. Biggest generator of heat in sand on the auto boxes is the torque converter. Once it gets into the soft stuff use low range - it locks the converter and doesn't generate anywhere near the same amount of heat 👌👌
My Nissan Cube came with one from factory. I kid you not
Wow really?? Noice 👌
Dayum so it doesnt need any extra liquid (cooler liquid?) or smth right??
Do you mean extra trans fluid? If so yes you will be adding more to the system 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow ahhh yess i meany extra trans fluit, btw thanks for the info mannn 😀
I wouldn’t use a heat gun on the hose you just weakening the hoses just spray wd40 on the fittings works great
is this worth it,
100% Would highly recommend
@@VideoShowMeHow ty for ur input so if people drive on the beach the temp goes up to 225 ,you should install
Definitely
Also if gearbox is auto, consider using low range for the soft stuff, locks the torque converter and produces much less heat
@@VideoShowMeHow ty,,i talk to my friend he told me the temp now is 175 and it 30f,,what should he do ,
