WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission fluid cooling system, without an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, consists of:
- An intank fluid cooler inlet tube
- A non-repairable in-tank transmission fluid cooler
- An intank fluid cooler return tube
The transmission fluid cooling system, with an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, consists of:
- An in-tank fluid cooler inlet tube
- A non-repairable in -tank transmission fluid cooler
- Fluid cooler hoses
- Hose clamps
- An auxiliary transmission fluid cooler
- A fluid cooler return tube
The transmission fluid flows from the transmission (front fitting for 4R100 and TorqShift, bottom fitting for 4R70W), to the in-tank transmission fluid cooler, to the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, if so equipped, and returns to the transmission (rear fitting for 4R100 and TorqShift).
For fluid cooler flow testing, and backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION-4R100 , AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 4R70W/4R75W or AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - TORQSHIFT .
