Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L NA V8 - AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 -
Transmission Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains fluid temperature within specified limits.
Parts List
Component Descriptions
The transmission fluid pipes:
Transfer fluid from the transmission to the cooler under the action of the hydraulic system pump. Return the cooled fluid from th e cooler to the transmission.
The transmission fluid cooler:
Is a plate type made from aluminum. Is mounted in the engi ne cooling radiator right-hand end tank.
Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transm ission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, th e transmission control module locks
the torque converter clutch. By reducing slip, this minimises th e amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling system from
the transmission fluid.
ItemPart NumberDescription
1—Fluid pipe, oil FROM cooler
2—Fluid pipe, oil TO cooler
