Description

Protect your automatic transmission and extend its lifespan with the high-performance Mastodon Dual Pass Finned Transmission Cooler. This essential cooling solution efficiently dissipates heat from your transmission fluid, which remains crucial for preventing fluid breakdown and transmission damage, especially under heavy loads or in hot climates. We design this cooler with a “dual pass” configuration, meaning fluid travels through the cooler twice for maximum heat exchange. Furthermore, the finned design significantly increases the surface area for superior heat rejection. Installing a Mastodon transmission cooler ultimately ensures your transmission operates within optimal temperature ranges, leading to smoother shifts, improved efficiency, and prolonged component life. This vital component for any vehicle with an automatic transmission is readily available across South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Why do I need a separate transmission cooler?
   Modern automatic transmissions generate significant heat, especially when towing, driving in heavy traffic, or in hot climates. A separate, auxiliary cooler helps keep fluid temperatures within safe operating limits, which is essential for transmission longevity.
2. What does “dual pass” mean?
   In a dual pass design, transmission fluid enters one end, flows across to the other, and then returns through a second pass before exiting. This ensures the fluid is cooled more thoroughly by passing through the cooling fins twice.
3. Is installation difficult?
   Installation involves mounting the cooler (often in front of the radiator), running transmission fluid lines, and connecting them to your transmission’s cooling system. While some experienced DIYers can perform this, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper line routing, secure mounting, and leak-free connections.
4. Do I need a thermostat with this cooler?
   For optimal performance, especially in colder climates, some installations benefit from an external thermostatic bypass valve. This valve helps the transmission fluid reach operating temperature quickly before routing it through the cooler.
5. What type of fluid lines and fittings does it use?
   Most aftermarket coolers are designed to use standard automotive transmission fluid hose and fittings (e.g., AN fittings or barbed hose ends). You will need to confirm the required size for your application.
6. Where do you ship?
   We offer fast and reliable delivery throughout South Africa.
