🔧Does this apply to your car? On most cars the transmission cooler is built into the radiator side tank, not a separate part — this job most likely doesn't apply to your vehicle (cooler service happens with radiator replacement). Standalone auxiliary coolers are typically found on trucks, vans, and vehicles with a tow package.

For shop owners
Tired of looking specs up mid-job?
Auto Shop Base keeps torque specs, labor times and fluids right on the work order.
The 2020 Bentley Continental GT repair data is incomplete because no one has sponsored it yet. For $99, we generate the full step-by-step procedures, then fact-check them with a second AI pass and your expert review. Your name on every procedure, permanently.
The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
