Your transmission cooler is an integral part of the reliability and proper function of your transmission. At Westerville Automotive in Westerville, OH, we’re well equipped with the knowledge you need about coolers, and the ability and equipment necessary to keep your transmission in good shape.
A transmission cooler isn’t a complicated component; all it does is cool your transmission. It is, however, extremely important. You’re likely aware that your engine can overheat, and you have a gauge or a light that warns you when that is happening. But, your transmission can also overheat; and since most cars aren’t equipped with a transmission temperature gauge, the cooler is your only line of defense in preventing catastrophic transmission failure.
A transmission cooler can either be built into your radiator or equipped as an external unit. Either way, it essentially does the same job as your radiator. And like your radiator, it can become clogged or damaged, putting your transmission in danger.
The best way to prevent cooler issues is with regular transmission flushes and maintenance. Depending on your mileage and the recommendation of your technician, it also isn’t a bad idea to replace your cooler occasionally, to ensure it doesn’t become clogged over time. We only provide OEM or better-quality parts, and we only provide excellent customer service. For questions or concerns about your transmission cooler, have one of our technicians take a look.
No matter your transmission maintenance or repair needs, we’ve got you covered. For the best transmission service shop in Westerville, OH, call or stop by Westerville Automotive today.
