[stewartdrums]

what's the average price to add a transmission cooler because I heard that the transmission's have a lack of cooler and cause them to go out alot sooner than they should. [email protected]

$50-$75 plus install labor of $75 would be a good price range!

The ATF temperature is a function of Torque Convertor slippage time/amount.......idling in gear and acceleration and coolant temperature.

99% of all Q transmission lasted thru the 70k warranty [except some of the 1991 units which were replaced up to 100k/7 years].

"a lack of cooler and cause them to go out alot sooner than they should"...

..from whose prospective.....how long should an automatic transmission last? Especially without maintenance!

We all know that extremely agressive [2 or 3 times more often than minimal recommendations] maintenance will double or triple component life.
