Can you bypass transmission cooler?

Can you bypass transmission cooler?

The thermal bypass is a small added valve that goes in the transmission line. When the transmission is cold, the thermal bypass will “bypass” the cooler so it can bring the transmission up to operating temperature more quickly.

Is a transmission cooler required?

For every 20F degree drop in transmission fluid temperature, you can expect to extend the fluid and equipment life, thereby extending the life of the vehicle. That’s why it is very important to have a quality transmission cooler, and more importantly, to have it professionally installed.

What is a transmission cooler bypass valve?

INTRODUCTION. The thermal bypass valve is used in transmission cooling & heating systems. It regulates oil flow and flow direction in order to self-control the operating temperature of the transmission. In hot weather the valve allows oil to flow to the vehicle auxiliary oil cooler for maximum cooling performance.

What happens if you bypass transmission cooler?

Bypassing your radiator transmission cooler would likely cause the fluid in your transmission to over heat causing premature transmission failure.

How can I make my transmission cooler?

Allowing the car to idle in neutral, while sitting at red lights, in congested traffic or at rail road tracks, reduces the strain on the transmission, allowing the transmission to cool.

Should transmission cooler be before or after radiator?

Should the cooler be installed before or after the radiator? Answer: We recommend installing the auxiliary cooler after the radiator to return the coolest fluid directly to the transmission.

Does transmission cooler increase performance?

Keeping Your Transmission Cool for Best Performance A transmission cooler helps the transmission stay cool, even when working harder than normal, which in turn lets you get the best performance and long life out of it.
