I like to add coolers with a built in electric fan, to further reduce transmission fluid temperature. Never bypass or delete the OEM cooling system as designed. Allow the OEM cooling system to work as designed, then add auxiliary equipment. I may be wrong, but I believe, that the fan is also activated if the transmission reaches a certain threshold temperature, to prevent overheating.Īnytime you add an aftermarket cooler, it should be inline with the return line flow. When the air conditioning is on, the fan will turn on. When the coolant is hot, the fan will turn on. The car's computer controls the electric fan, and a series of temperature monitors will activate the cooling fan as needed. For most people, it's probably not needed, as the OEM cooling system bypasses the cooler until the fluid reaches a preset temperature. In modern vehicles with a cooler bypass valve, there is no way that you can "over-cool" your transmission. I have not installed a cooler onto the Transit Connect, so my experience may not be relevant. In many years of driving trucks & Jeeps, I can add my own experience. I have three questions here:ġ) Is the delay and jerkiness kind of normal for this model and so it doesn't necessarily mean the tranny is on its way out?Ģ) Is there a chance that resetting the adaptive learning codes will make a difference? (A guy who could have charged me $140 to do it advised against it because he said it will learn all on its own anyway, with the new fluid and my driving.)ģ) Does anyone reading this have experience with having an aftermarket tranny cooler installed? Would it help this model, is it worth it? Any recommendations for what cooler to buy? I had the (jet black) transmission fluid changed a couple days ago and am going to have it changed again in a few days. There is a 1.5 to 2 second delay going into gear from park and (not every time) it hard shifts into gears while driving-kind of jerky. I wish I had been more thorough in my inspection before buying it because it seems the transmission may be on its way out. Hello all, I recently bought a 2015 TC, XL, LWB which I am converting into a camper. ![]()
