  • In this episode we have a look at an In-tank Transmission Cooler.
    The Transmission cooler is the silent partner of your cooling system, hidden away in your radiator's bottom tank, taking care of your transmission's oil temperatures.
    Ever wondered what it looks like?
    Well, wonder no more...

    I never understood in-tank coolers. I know the engineers aren't dummies but what sense did that make. Engine runs around 200, some even higher. trans is overheating at that point. Every auto I've ever owned I eliminate the OEM setup for a huge external. Hasn't failed me yet

      @@jaredcopeland1994 it's still hotter then I'd like. I just picked up a newer dodge ram 5.7. Trans has a warmer and a thermostat but a big cooler. First mod I did was delete that BS. I was cruising down the highway and trans was at 180-190, That's insane. Now it's 120-130.

      trans fluid leaves the trans at around 400 degrees F, people on the internet like to spread misinformation that it warms up the fluid but that simply isnt true

    My corolla trans cooler inlet line broke off last night. I wanted to see how these coolers are on the inside. Trying to determine if coolant got into transmission because the break caused both systems to be open at the same point.

    It's actually not a cooler. It helps bring up the temps on the transmission fluid for colder climates so that the transmission fluid stay. Obviously the worse thing for an automatic transmission is high temps, but at the same time you don't want it cold during your drive either. At least that's how it 8s for vehicles that use both a radiator reservoir and transmission cooler for the fluid. People who delete the lines running to the radiator, and route straight to the cooler usually see a large drop in transmission temps, but it takes longer for the fluid to come up to temp.

      this isnt true, except only might double as that in places with extreme cold climates. transmission fluid tends to exit the torque converter at over 400 degrees, its a common misconception to think that the fluid enters the cooler at around 200. some people think the radiator coolers raise trans temps and suggest removing them, not true and will burn up your trans

      @@JROC734 that's what the coolers for, and why you have excess oil for circulation in the pan. just because a portion of the fluids reach peak temps of 400f, doesn't mean all of the fluid gets that high. its the same in an engine. if you took off all the coolers and ran it for long enough, it would most certainly reach that temp. but it would blow up long before then.

      @@bigbean69420 You're making wild claims with no credentials. I think you're either speaking out of ignorance, and trying to look smart, or you're just trolling to be funny. Do you know how many vehicles don't use trans-coolers? Do you know how inadequate most OEM trans-coolers are for serious towing or racing? You can have two vehicles with the same drivetrain, and one will have a cooler and the other won't. Say a GEN10 F150 XLT 2WD with a 5.4L/4R100 might not have a trans-cooler, where a GEN10 F150 XLT 2WD with a 5.4L/4R100, and a 7700 GVWR package will have a cooler. In fact unless you need a serious tow vehicle like a 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesel to pull heavy loads up and down a bunch of inclines, or you have a vehicle you race hard, a trans-cooler really isn't even necessary, and again many vehicles don't even use a trans-cooler.
      If transmission fluid was peaking at 400*, it would start breaking down really quickly, and the majority of people go the life of their vehicles without ever changing their transmission fluid. That's not even talking about everything else it would mess up in the transmission. 400* fluid will not cooler that quickly. It's not going to peak at 400*, and then 10 seconds later be back at 180* because it ran through some undersized OEM, or even large aftermarket cooler. I'm calling BS on your claim.

    And there you have it. Answered a lot of the questions that I couldn't find answers to regarding the fittings on my radiator. I am going from manual transmission to automatic and need to tap into the cooler lines. They are plugged somehow from the factory. It's a 73 Chevy K10. Can anyone tell me the best way to remove the plugs without removing the fittings? BTW I am familiar with transmission coolers but want the factory setup and will add cooler later.

    It seems that some transmissions have inlet and outlet the other way around.
    The bent side is the inlet and the straight side is the outlet.

    Hey man I still don’t quite understand when you pulled that cooler out it look like both ends were not sealed I did see where your inlet is and I saw where your outlet is but I don’t see how that’s going to keep your transmission fluid separate from your engine coolant!! Basically if you held that cooler in your right hand at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock there’s two open ends and then you have your line in and lined out along that vertical aluminum tube but it doesn’t seem like it’s a sealed system now I could see if that vertical aluminum pipe was sealed at both ends and then you had your in line and outline transmission fluid could run inside of that which is which would be surrounded by coolant if it was in the radiator in a working position I could see how that would work but I just don’t see how you’re keeping the transmission fluid separate from the coolant when it appears that both ends of the inner cooler have unsealed openings on each hand unless I’m missing something maybe you can explain. I recently had to buy a new radiator for my 2001 S-10 my original GM radiator lasted 22 years and it finally cracked and started leaking. So I had to buy this cheap radiator off of eBay and it has all cooler and engine oil cooler but when I go to put up the radiator cap on this new radiator I say an open ended aluminum vertical pipe just like the one you pulled out but what I can’t see is everything is so close together when I look at the outside of the radiator I see where my Lynann and my line outs are from my transmission fluid to go in but there is absolutely no room for it to come in and do a 90 and then do another 90 and come back out all I see when I pop a cap is a long straight vertical aluminum open ended pipe that is unsealed nor does it have a hole to let the fluid transmission fluid in so it’s all crazy I just don’t understand. If it helps you any better to understand if you go on eBay and you look for a 2001 4.3 radiator model number 1826 Radiator for
    2001 S-10 1996-2005.
    sport-usa is the seller yitimotor is the brand. If you or someone could just take a look at that picture and please tell me where the transmission cooler line is once it’s inside the radiator. If you look at the thickness of the radiator it’s just hard to believe that this radiator in question has a working transmission cooler. Like I said I’ve never seen a radiator for an S-10 that when you pop the radiator cap to fill up with fluid you see what appears to look like an open ended aluminum vertical pipe now that might be 9 inches and it’s budding up against the backside of the radiator and you can see where the transmission line comes in on top but but there’s nothing keeping the transmission fluid and coolant separated it seems it’s just a really screwed up looking radiator it’s not like my original Ashton where I actually pop the cap and you can see where the line can’t wear the transmission cooler line comes in on top and you can see the aluminum pipe that it goes into you can see it does a 90° turn goes down and then if there’s another 90° turn it comes out you can actually see the cooler and it’s sealed this one is just a damn open ended pipe vertical open ended pipe I just don’t get it very similar to yours opened at both ends but there’s no way for the transmission cooler to enter that open-ended pipe besides the point it’s not sealed on both ends so it’s basically having like a straw open on both ends and a line coming through the radiator housing wall that doesn’t happen to the straw on top or the bottom for the transmission return. I really can’t explain it it’s I think I got an effed up I think they sent me the wrong or this thing wasn’t completely manufactured to a finished working product. But the actual transmission oil cooler looks a lot like yours a vertical aluminum pipe with two open ends don’t ask me how that supposed to cool transmission fluid when Radiator fluid is going to fill up that open ended pipe.

      Look closer, it's a tube with a smaller tube inside it and then sealed at each end, it gives the coolant nearly twice the surface area for the transmission cool/warmer. It is confusing at first but it's not mixing the transmission fluid with the engine coolant, or at least it shouldn't if it's working properly.

      @@rrrandommman Thanks for the reply!! About a month ago I purchased a aftermarket radiator that was pretty much identical to the one shown in this video. It was cheap it was about 89 bucks shipped compared to $175 for my original GM replacement. But anyway to make a long story short my original one went up in my 2001 S-10 so I bought this replacement and at the time of putting it in I didn’t take much notice of what it look like on the inside because it it all had plastic seals for shipping and handling purposes. Show anyway once I got this thing installed I finally removed all the plastic pieces and the last one I removed was obviously where you fill the cooling in, didn’t want anything to fall into the radiator. So afterwards I was like this thing looks totally different than my original GM. I was so worried I actually had to drain all the fluid out of the new radiator obviously I reused it but still had to do all my work twice. I’ve drained it removed it and then took it out. I actually got my compressor hoses and attachment to make sure that that transmission cooler was one sealed unit and sure enough it was but it looked totally different than my original where with the original you could actually see that the transmission cooler was sealed from the top inlet or outlet I think the top is the outlet and the bottom is the inlet but yeah anyway I just wasn’t sure, but sure enough it is a sealed unit. It’s just really threw me off guard because when I looked inside of it I can see this open ended vertical aluminum tube that that is clearly open from top to bottom. I understand how it kinda works as a cooler by the coolant filling up the inside of the tube and the outside but I just couldn’t believe that they found room to put an actual sealed little line attached to the side of that open ended aluminum pipe. Definitely a cheaper made model, but hopefully it works out. I read some of the reviews and they all seem pretty good so I doubt it it lasts 22 years like my original but I don’t think my s10 will be around in another 22 years, lol bought it new 2001 it’s been a great little truck. The radiator might be a different story 🤞🏼, I’ll find out for sure. Thanks man appreciate the reply.
