Kelpie 2nd Gear February 15, 2008 Share February 15, 2008 1. Contemplating to install an ATF cooler. When looking around, the market price for each seems hovering around $220 or so with installation. 2. Any good brand and shop with good workmanship (need to takeout front bumper) to recommend me? For those of you who have fixed the ATF, did you use a steel hose or a rubber hose? Thank you very much. Regards, ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftevo Neutral Newbie June 7, 2010 Share June 7, 2010 ATF Cooler selling only 80 ONLY (cash and carry) plus free delivery. what benefit? ATF cooler helps to extend your transmission life span by cooling the ATF that has been heated up by the torque converter during stop-start traffic. This would prevent the ATF from turning into varnish, which is acidic, and sticky, which is why you see some ATF is brown in color and smells bad. Also when coming out of a traffic congestion, the car maintains its spirited character and is less likely to give that sluggish response. pm me if u r keen... will get back to u asap. Thanks.

Kangadrool Supersonic June 7, 2010 Share June 7, 2010 Changing ATF more frequently is cheaper than installing cooler. Need not worry about leaks and voiding warranty too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini-itx Clutched June 8, 2010 Share June 8, 2010 Changing ATF more frequently is cheaper than installing cooler. Need not worry about leaks and voiding warranty too. No, they are 2 different things. One cause of transmission failure is the heat generated during its operation. Thats why you want to cool it down by cooling the ATF thats circulating. Changing ATF frequently will not exactly make the transmission run cooler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bro got any experience with atf cooler to share? any good installers to recommend, preferably @ AV? TIA... It is to cool down your gearbox. More applicable for long distance and hard driving. Not so applicable. But it all depends cos we have a lot of start stop traffic conditions here. Brands that I know of are Hayden and Prema. I am using the Hayden brand.

The ATF Cooler is just an icing on the cake or added insurance to assure us drivers. Keep it a habit to change your ATF fluid at stipulated intervals set out in your car's service manual.
