🔧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.

Tired of looking specs up mid-job?
Auto Shop Base keeps torque specs, labor times and fluids right on the work order.
The 2016 Tesla Model S 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.
