1. The number one killer for A/T cars is heat. An ATF cooler is designed to prevent a major heat build-up for the A/T box. Concept is similar to engine oil cooler.

2. Yes. I'm using VR4 engine oil cooler for my A/T box.

3. Yes. Definately since our country is quite HOT!

4. Just visit any chop shop.

yaa.... i also using ATF cooler.... new one

before this.... my automatic gearbox burn (clutch) because of overheating..... :emoticon_U: actually 9/10 automatic gearbox failure cause from overheating.

Max. temp. for ATF is about 80C...., but existing cooler normaly share with radiator... but it is not enough.... especially if u like speeding

He.... he.... now i can drive my car 180++ without any problem.... :shades_smile:

brother, how much u got urs brand new ATF cooler?

 

[popcorn]

how much to install this ATF cooler + labour charge ? any recommended workshop ?

 

[normality78]

basically just go to scrapyard and look for pajero oil cooler. price vary frm diff states. should be rm80 onwards (i get mine on rm80 last time)

try not to go for too big. bigger doesnt means better as u need to take in consideration of oil pressure drop.

Labour charge, all workshop again is diff. i think should not be more thn rm80 also. just re-route the hose and mount the cooler bracket only. most of the workshop can do but which does the best job thn u sendiri pandai pandai.

make sure u flush the cooler before using it. coz those r engine oil cooler but not atf oil cooler.

I heard M-Scope in Bt Caves they are doing the auto trans oil cooler. Also anyone here has noticed the latest batch of waja and perdana (from 2006) has come with AT cooler? I think proton has realised that why they need AT oil cooler. Too many transmission failures in the past, many waja and perdana owners encountered this issue.


acbc- how much the toyata Dextron 4 cost u?

Cheers:_:

If the latest batch did come with the ATF cooler, that would be great for us too as we've got more scrap or used cooler to look for in the market. whahahaha.

so far, i think Hayden one is the best u can find in Msia but to some plp it tends to be more ex coz with scrapyard pajero one can be found as low as rm150, paying rm300-400 for a brand new Hayden ATF cooler seems to be heavy. However you must see the built quality and there are differences between ATF cooler and oil cooler as ATF cooler fins is more narrow and fine.
