(1) Transmission Oil Cooler (2) Hydraulic Oil Cooler |
The outlet oil from the torque converter flows through the outlet relief valve. Oil then flows to the bypass valve for the transmission oil cooler. When the transmission oil is cold, the bypass valve directs oil back to the transmission. When the transmission oil becomes warmer, the bypass valve directs oil to the transmission oil cooler. The transmission oil cooler is located behind the radiator. As oil flows through the cooler, air flows around the core assembly. In this way, heat is removed from the oil. The oil from the cooler provides lubrication and cooling to the transmission. The lubrication oil flows into each transmission shaft. This is done in order to lubricate the bearings, the gears, and the clutches. This is also done in order to cool the bearings, the gears, and the clutches.
The converter outlet relief valve is located in the transmission case at the outlet to the oil cooler.
