What is the difference in radiators used in auto trans and manual trans?
Auto transmission radiator has a cooling chamber for transmission fluid to circulate
What is the name of the hose that goes from the radiator to the transmission on a 93 buick skylark custom?
It is the transmission cooler hose or line. It runs the fluid through a cooler on the radiator to cool the transmission fluid.
Does transmission fluid travel through radiator system fluid?
No, but some autos use the radiator to cool transmission fluid. It circulates within its own plumbing, and the fluids never commingle.
Why is transmission fluid in your 1999 Tacoma radiator?
It runs through the radiator to cool. It comes in through one of the hoses attached near the bottom of the radiator
My 1990 Nissan maxima will not shift out of first and will not go into reverse plus the fluid looks like milk?
The transmission fluid cooled by routing it through the radiator. The fluid probably is a milky color because the radiator had failed internally allowing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix. Check the coolant and if looks milky change the radiator, coolant, and transmission fluid.
If Transmission fluid is milky colored?
Could be a bad radiator allowing engine coolant to circulate in transmission Change fluid and filter Run engine to normal operating temperature - pull transmission dipstick and allow a drop of fluid to drop on a hot engine part - oil will smoke and coolant will sizzle If coolant present - replace radiator also Hopefully not too late
What is the cooling fluid that goes back to the transmission?
The 2 lines that come from the transmission and go to the radiator are full of transmission fluid and the radiator is what cools it.
Two names for the part of the radiator that automatic transmission fluid flows through are the transmission oil cooler and the heat?
Exchanger
How do you stop antifreeze from getting in your transmission?
A/T have a fluid line that runs through the cooling radiator of your car. My best guess is this tube is cracked inside your radiator. The radiator will needs to be replaced. I am not sure, but I believe that automatic transmissions often use engine coolant for cooling, and I suspect that there is a leak in the transmission. Transmission fluid cooling radiators are separate from the engine radiator, and transmission fluid is pumped through them by a pump. They usually are not stock items, but have to be added on. You probably should take the vehicle to a transmission shop, and have them check it out. Coolant will dilute the transmission fluid, and possibly corrode the transmission parts.
What causes the transmission fluid to leak into the radiator?
I would say its a bad radiator are you sure its tranny fluid and not motor oil, in which case you could have a blown head gasket? **correct answer** there should be a transmission cooler that allows transmission fluid to flow through your rad at some point, these lines, when they break, will let transmission fluid into your rad, it also lets coolant into the transmission, which can destroy your transmission.
What happens when Transmission fluid leaks into the radiator?
You replace the radiator
What is the transmission fluid pressure on a TH400 as it goes to and from the radiator?
Should be no pressure, the ATF is just pumped through the cooler back to the transmission.
