Units

🔧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.
