Spectre Performance Finned Aluminum Universal Auto Trans Coolers In 3 Lengths
- Aug 20, 2015
Most cars and trucks are equipped with a coolant temperature gauge or warning lights that allow the driver to keep an eye on engine coolant temperatures. When an engine has to work harder than usual the coolant temperatures will increase. The same principle applies to an automatic transmission, yet the transmission is often overlooked. An automatic transmission is designed to keep an engine's revolutions per minute (RPMs) within a usable range and transmit the power from the engine to the drive wheels. Stop and go driving, heavy acceleration, and towing, force an automatic transmission to work harder than usual and this hard work will produce extra heat.
Automatic transmissions rely on automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to lubricate and cool the transmission’s internals. When heat builds up the automatic transmission fluid can become discolored. Dark brown or black ATF can be an indicator of a transmission problem, vehicle abuse, or fluid that has far exceeded its useful life. One way to prevent premature transmission wear and extend the life of automatic transmission fluid is by incorporating an auxiliary automatic transmission fluid cooler. Spectre Performance automatic transmission coolers look great and are designed to lower transmission fluid temperatures. Lower ATF temperatures will help to lengthen the overall life of an automatic transmission. Spectre Performance transmission coolers feature a finned polished aluminum single pass design and include two 3/8 inch NPT fittings. Spectre Performance automatic transmission coolers do not rely on traditional coil radiator designs. Instead Spectre Performance transmission coolers act like a heat sink using aluminum fins to increase the surface area in contact with the cooler air surrounding it. The solid aluminum design of Spectre Performance transmission coolers makes them ideal for applications where durability is a consideration.
Spectre Performance universal automatic transmission coolers are available in three lengths depending on the mounting space available and the desired cooling capacity. Spectre Performance transmission cooler 5466 is the smallest version offered at 12” in length. Spectre Performance universal trans cooler, number 5467, is 15-inches long while 5468 is a larger 18 inches in length. Due to differences in flow rates, these transmission coolers should not be used for engine oil. Spectre Performance warrants all its products to be free from workmanship and material defects with a limited 90 day warranty.
