Transmission Cooler Install. This was done on my 6th gen Accord with the F2. VTEC however this mod will work and be beneficial for the J3. V6, F2. 2 and K2. I am replacing a Tube and Fin cooler with a plate and fin cooler. If you want the ultimate in efficiency then find a "stacked plate cooler"DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A "TUBE AND FIN" COOLER.
They are crap! and won't effectively cool your transmission. You want to find a stacked plate cooler, it is designed like your radiator. They are at least 3. I have found mine to be upwards of 5. I had previously.
Keeping your transmission cool is the best way to prevent future failures. Here is a graphic showing what overheating can do. Things you'll need: Screw driver (or 1/4 inch socket)Knife.
Zip Ties. 2. 5' of Transmission Fluid Line. MM Socket for removal of the bumper. Plate and fin transmission cooler like this one. It is easiest to do this after the transmission has been drained but its unnecessary. Remove Front Bumper- There are two 1. There are a handful of plastic plug fasteners on bottom (two on top part of the grill)- Once these are all out start from one side and pull the bumper down and away from the front of the car. Locate the transmission cooler lines (your car has a stock cooler, what we will do is run this cooler after the stock cooler).
These lines are on the passenger side of the engine in- front of and below the distributor cap.- There are two lines coming out of the transmission that you can see from under the hood, the black tube in this picture shows the fluid out line, the bronze tube is the return. Unless you add an inline temp sending unit you will not mess with the OUT.
But the return will come from the new cooler rather than the stock cooler. Note: The feed and return lines for the J3. V6 are located in a different area. Just find the stock cooler (bottom of the radiator) and trace the lines back to the source.
The Out line (from the stock cooler) is what we will be extending to the aftermarket cooler. The out line lives right next to the lower coolant line on the radiator. This picture shows the out line. We will take a section of tube and connect it to the out hub on the stock cooler. Then run it around the front frame member to the front of the radiator. The best place for the cooler is in front of the radiators behind the bumper.
I installed a winter bypass valve so that in cold winter months I dont over cool my transmission. This is not necessary but can be beneficial if you live in a place like Colorado. And the Return is the T fitting with the tube facing down. The other connectors are for the Cooler. Both valves are closed in this picture, I did this so that the fluid did not run out all over my shop floor. Make sure that you create VERY clear diagrams showing the summer and winter positions if you add this valve.
I suggest keeping a copy of these in the glove- box in- case you sell the car and forget to communicate this important adjustment. Closing both will cause your transmission pump to burn up, burning fluid , burning clutches and hardening seals.. Don't let this happen to you, understand what position your valves are in. Once you figure out where to hang the cooler (just use your imagination there are endless ways to configure it) then you need to hook it up. I opted to have the feed come in at the top so that it cools as it moves down the core. Make sure that any bend that you have in the tube is 3" in diameter.
Any tighter and you will start to stress the pump and cause flow issues. Like I said earlier I did put an inline temp gauge on the out line to keep an eye on the temps leaving the trans. Here is a picture of that setup. Last edited by Silver.
