Automatic transmission coolant line fitting
Purpose:
The automatic transmission coolant line fitting is a fitting connector that provides coolant flow through the automatic transmission (AT) cooling line.
Design:
* Usually made of aluminum or steel.
* Has two threaded holes:
* One for connection to the automatic transmission cooling line.
* Other for connecting to a coolant hose or pipe.
* May have a built-in valve or plug to control coolant flow and drain.
Operation:
The coolant circulates through the automatic transmission cooling line, removing heat from the automatic transmission and dissipating it through the radiator. The fitting serves as the entry point for coolant into the line and the exit point for discharging the cooled liquid back into the cooling system.
Replacement:
Replacing the automatic transmission coolant line fitting may be necessary in the following cases:
* Thread wear
* Hull damage
*Clogs or leaks
The replacement process usually includes:
* Draining coolant from automatic transmission
* Disconnecting the rod from the cooling line
* Unscrewing the old fitting
* Installation of a new fitting
* Attaching a hose or tube to a fitting
* Filling the automatic transmission with coolant
Service:
To ensure proper operation of the automatic transmission coolant line fitting, the following conditions must be met:
* Maintain the coolant level in the automatic transmission.
* Flush the cooling system regularly.
* Replace the fitting if it shows signs of wear or damage.
