Automatic transmission cooling radiator Hyundai Sonata
The automatic transmission cooling radiator is designed to maintain the optimal temperature of the transmission fluid in the automatic transmission (automatic transmission).
Functions of the automatic transmission cooling radiator
* Removal of excess heat from transmission fluid
* Maintaining the operating temperature of the fluid to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operation of the automatic transmission
* Prevent overheating of the automatic transmission, which can lead to damage to internal components
