Troubleshooting
Transmission fluid leaks at connection points
Ensure the 3/8" push-on fittings are fully seated on the cooler ports and transmission lines. Verify O-ring clamps are properly installed and tightened. If leaks persist, consider using hose barb adapters with traditional clamps or consult a professional.
Cooler not effectively reducing temperatures
Verify proper hose routing and ensure the cooler is mounted in an area with adequate airflow. Check for any obstructions in front of the cooler. Ensure the transmission fluid level is correct and the fluid is not severely degraded.
Difficulty mounting the cooler securely
Utilize the provided foam pads for vibration dampening. Explore custom bracketry or alternative mounting locations if the provided hardware is insufficient for your specific vehicle chassis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The universal nature of this cooler means installation location will vary by vehicle. It is typically mounted in front of the radiator or in a location with good airflow. Ensure hoses are routed away from heat sources and moving parts. Use the provided ties and clamps for secure mounting. Connect the 3/8" push-on fittings to the cooler and the transmission lines, ensuring a snug fit. Always follow the vehicle's service manual for transmission fluid line identification.
Compatibility: This cooler is designed for automatic transmissions. While universal, verify that the 3/8" push-on fittings are compatible with your existing transmission fluid lines or consider purchasing appropriate adapters if needed. It is ideal for applications where transmission temperatures commonly exceed optimal levels.
Care: Regularly inspect hoses for signs of wear, cracking, or leaks. Check that the cooler fins are free from debris that could impede airflow. Periodically ensure mounting hardware remains tight. The cooler itself requires minimal maintenance beyond ensuring clear airflow.
