The transmission cooler is filled with the automatic transmission fluid that is pumped to the front of the vehicle for the purpose of cooling. It is essential to be able to find a leak, when you see bad transmission shift, color of the coolant or red oil on the floor. Go through these slides to know how to spot a transmission cooler leak in cars.

1. How to a

2. A transmission cooler is a
kind of small radiator that is
filled with hot automatic
transmission fluid that is
pumped from the automatic
transmission to the front of
the vehicle for cooling.

3. Sometimes transmission
coolers are part of the
same assembly as the
radiator or somehow linked
to the engine's cooling
system.

4. Any leak in the system
can cause severe damage to
the vehicle's engine.

5. Here are the significant
signs to spot a transmission
cooler leak in your car.
- Bad transmission shift
-Color of coolant
-Red oil on the floor

7. A leak in the transmission
hydraulic lines that travel to
the transmission cooler can
empty a transmission of fluid
at a slow to even dramatic
rate depending on the size of
the leak.

8. Any automatic
transmission that looses or
has less fluid than it needs
to run properly will most
likely be coupled with a
harsh shift in all gears.

9. And if the problem is left
unattended, then it can
result into a transmission
slippage.

11. When the coolant and the
transmission fluid gets
mixed, then the color of
the resultant mixture is
somewhat like of a
strawberry milkshake.

12. When the engine cooling
system and transmission
cooling system are part of
the same assembly, then
the seal between them
might break and result in
the mixing of the two
fluids.

13. When this happens the
engine may overheat,
transmission start slipping
or shifting harshly, and you
should see a strawberry
milkshake-like liquid in the
radiator cap or coolant
reservoir.

15. A transmission fluid leak
from one of the cooler lines
can leave a dripping on the
floor when the engine is off
because the fluid is not under
pressure.

16. When the engine starts and
the transmission fluid starts
flowing and pumping, then
the drip will accelerate
depending on the severity of
the leak.

17. Transmission fluid leaks
should be treated seriously
and repaired promptly to
avoid permanent damage
to the transmission.

19. To prevent premature
corrosion, wear, or damage
to your engine or
transmission cooling systems
regular flushes of the coolant
and transmission fluid are
strongly recommended.

20. Flushing coolant can keep it
from becoming too acidic and
breaking down over time and
does not damage the engines
cooling systems and any
gaskets or seals involved.

21. Regular flushes of the
transmission fluid are
recommended because it gets all
the metal grit and clutches dust
out of the fluid, which can collect
in areas like the cooler or valve
body resulting in corrosion.
