Automatic transmission cooling system Chevrolet Aveo T300
The automatic transmission of the Chevrolet Aveo T300 is equipped with a cooling system that prevents overheating of the transmission fluid and associated damage to the transmission. Here are the main elements of the cooling system:
Heat exchanger
*Located in the engine radiator.
* Consists of thin-walled tubes through which transmission fluid circulates.
* Engine coolant circulates around the tubes, removing heat from the transmission fluid.
Pipelines
* Connect the heat exchanger to the gearbox.
* Transfers transmission fluid back and forth between the heat exchanger and the transmission.
Transmission pump
* Creates pressure in the cooling system.
* Pumps transmission fluid through the heat exchanger.
Thermostat
* Regulates the flow of transmission fluid through the heat exchanger.
* Opens at a certain temperature to direct transmission fluid through the heat exchanger.
How the cooling system works:
* When the transmission becomes hot during operation, the transmission pump moves transmission fluid through the heat exchanger.
*Transmission fluid transfers heat to the engine coolant, removing heat from the transmission.
* The cooled transmission fluid is returned to the transmission where it is circulated again to cool internal components.
Cooling system maintenance:
* Check the transmission fluid level regularly.
* Replace transmission fluid according to the maintenance schedule.
* Check the cooling system for leaks or damage.
*Service or replace cooling system components as necessary.
Proper maintenance of the automatic transmission cooling system is important to ensure the longevity and reliability of the transmission.
