Additional automatic transmission radiator for Mitsubishi
Some Mitsubishi models are equipped with an additional automatic transmission (AT) cooler, also known as a transmission cooler. It is designed to cool the transmission fluid and maintain it at the optimal operating temperature.
Advantages of an additional automatic transmission radiator:
* Improved Cooling: An additional radiator increases the cooling surface, which improves heat dissipation from the transmission fluid.
* Reduced Wear and Extended Service Life: Ensuring proper transmission cooling helps reduce component wear and extend its service life.
* Increased Efficiency: Optimal transmission fluid temperature results in more efficient transmission operation and smoother gear shifts.
* Prevent Overheating: An additional radiator helps prevent the automatic transmission from overheating, which can cause serious damage.
Mitsubishi models with an additional automatic transmission radiator:
* Outlander (some trim levels)
* Pajero Sport (some trim levels)
* L200 (Triton) (some configurations)
* Montero (some trim levels)
Installing an additional automatic transmission radiator:
Installing an additional automatic transmission cooler usually requires a qualified mechanic, as it requires cutting into the existing transmission cooling system. Installation costs may vary depending on vehicle model and location.
Is an additional automatic transmission cooler recommended?
Installing an additional automatic transmission radiator can be a profitable investment for car owners who:
* Do a lot of driving on rough terrain or in extreme heat
* Transport heavy loads or drive trailers
* Ho want to extend the life of their car’s automatic transmission
If you are unsure whether your Mitsubishi requires an additional automatic transmission cooler, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or consult a qualified mechanic.
