Heat exchanger delete or not delete that is the question!

Posted

My nephew has a 2005, the heat exchanger leaked antifreeze into his transmission! He is getting the tranny rebuilt and wants to install a better cooler and delete the heat exchanger ($1000.00 for a new one) thoughts please!

I have been told that the exchanger is good for the transmission in part because it helps get it up to operating temperature quicker. It also works to dump extra heat into the engine when the transmission is getting hot.

    I would search local wrecking yards for a replacement. This is the first one that I have heard of failing.

    Thank you all very much! I agree with you and really wondered how many ever fail. Thanks again!

    I have heard of quite a few failing just like this one, not sure there is a better fix thou.
