How does heat affect transmission life? TRANSMISSION
FAILURE/TEMPERATURE CHART Most automatic transmissions fail due to a breakdown of the
transmission fluid (oil) caused by overheating. This chart provides a graphic display of heat's
contribution to transmission failure. The effect is also
cumulative. Short term exposure to
high heat levels (or even prolonged exposure to moderate heat) can break down the oil to the point where
even very short episodes of overheating will lead to failure. We recommend a TRANSMISSION PROTECTION KIT as the most important
deterrent to transmission failure. A
PROTECTION KIT with cooler should be installed once, and then a PROTECTION
KIT with flusher used every time the transmission is serviced. The PROTECTION KIT with
cooler includes a high capacity inner fin transmission cooler, an inline
filter, and and supplement. The PROTECTION KIT with flusher includes a
transmission cooler flusher, an inline filter, and supplement. |
