Cooling
Transmission Life Expectancy - Click for more information.

 

Heat is the number one killer of automatic transmissions. Click on the chart to the left and see how damaging heat can be to your transmission. It's simple, the hotter your transmission fluid gets, the more damage is caused to your transmission. When you add an extra load, such as a car or truck loaded down for vacation or towing a trailer, the temperature gauge steadily climbs and the damage begins.

You can't stop damage that's already been done, but you sure can cool your system with the addition of a cooling fan, trans-coolers and TCI®'s Max Shift™ RTF transmission fluid.

TCI® Electric Reversible Fan Kit
All our electric fan kits offer several features that make these the right choice. Our fans either push air or pull air by simply reversing the blades. The fans are constructed out of light weight Nylon® 6/6 high temperature plastic with a low profile design. Where room is a premium, our 10" and 12" units are both under 3" at the thickest part. Each fan comes complete with all necessary hardware and our quick mount connector kit.

Thermostatic Control Switch for Electric Fans
We offer two models for you to choose from. The adjustable control switch can be set by the user to activate from 140° to 200° F. This switch can also be wired to automatically operate the fan whenever the air conditioning system turns on. Comes with installation hardware and instructions. Our preset control switch will activate the fan at 185° F and turn it off when the temperature drops below 170° F. An excellent choice for racing applications.

Max-Cool™ Transmission Coolers
Heat has always been the #1 cause of premature automatic transmission failure. A new TCI® Max-Cool™ Transmission Cooler is the most effective way to keep your transmission cool and extend its durability and performance. Available in four different sizes, the new TCI® Max-Cool™ Transmission Coolers utilize a special “plate and fin” design, which reduces transmission temperatures by 33% over tube-style transmission coolers.

 
The new TCI® Max-Cool™ Transmission Coolers feature pre-drilled mounting plates and 3/8- inch push-on fittings to make installation easy and greatly improve durability. Available in sizes from 4-inches x 11-inches x 3/4-inch through 9 7/8-inches x 11-inches x 3/4-inch, TCI® Max-Cool™ Transmission Coolers are the most compact, space efficient coolers you can buy today.

Performance Transmission Coolers
 
823200, 823500 & 823800 Transmission Coolers
Our high tech racing coolers are designed specifically for racing. Because our tube and fin design is superior, you can expect our coolers to meet your needs. Constructed entirely from aluminum these coolers are powder coated black for an aggressive race look and have #6 AN fittings for connection to either steel braided or high pressure lines. These coolers are pressure checked to 300 psi.

Your car and your safety are too important to trust to hose clamps when a typical performance automatic transmission cooling system operates at over 100 psi. TCI® performance transmission coolers are also a great choice for street and towing applications. For the ultimate heat control, a 827000 10" fan can be mounted directly to a 823800 cooler. All performance coolers include a 821500 quick mount kit.

Tech Tip:Cooler efficiency based on installation.

Shown here are three suggested locations for the cooler in relation to the air conditioning condenser, radiator and fan.

For alternate mounting, select a location where the cooler will receive maximum possible cold air flow from vehicle motion or fan.
Position #1: 100% efficient
Position #2: 75% efficient
Position #3: 60% efficient

As you can see from our chart, the location chosen for mounting plays a very important role in efficiency. Cool air flow through the cooler is the manner in which a cooler dissipates heat. The cooler will protect the fluid from overheating, but it cannot correct a faulty transmission. The mechanical condition of your transmission should be checked if troubles are suspected.

Universal Transmission Cooler820500 Universal Transmission Cooler
For the budget minded, we offer an efficient compact lightweight all aluminum transmission cooler designed to keep the transmission within safe operating temperature. This cooler comes with a complete installation kit and can be easily installed in less than one hour with common hand tools.
