Automatic transmission cooling hose for Mitsubishi Pajero
The automatic transmission cooling hose is an important component of the transmission cooling system in Mitsubishi Pajero vehicles. Its function is to circulate transmission fluid through the radiator to dissipate the heat generated during transmission operation.
Signs of a faulty automatic transmission coolant hose
* Transmission fluid leaks under the car
* Noticeable decrease in transmission fluid level
* Overheating of the transmission, which can lead to reduced performance or even complete failure
* Smell of burning or burnt oil
Replacing the automatic transmission cooling hose
Replacing an automatic transmission cooling hose requires certain knowledge and tools. Here are the general steps involved in the replacement process:
1. Prepare the necessary tools. You will need keys, a screwdriver, a fluid container and a new automatic transmission cooling hose.
2. Raise the car. Use a lift or jack to safely raise the vehicle and provide access to the underbody.
3. Remove the engine sump cover. This will give you access to the automatic transmission cooling hose.
4. Disconnect the hoses. Use wrenches or a screwdriver to disconnect the hoses from the radiator and transmission.
5. Drain the transmission fluid. Open the drain plug and drain the transmission fluid into a prepared container.
6. Install a new hose. Place a new automatic transmission cooling hose onto the radiator and transmission.
7. Tighten connections. Use wrenches to tighten connections and prevent leaks.
8. Fill with transmission fluid. Add transmission fluid to the transmission to the required level using a funnel.
9. Check for leaks. Start the engine and check for leaks. If necessary, tighten connections.
10. Check the fluid level. After operating the transmission for a short time, turn off the engine and check the fluid level again. Top up if necessary.
