Should I get a transmission cooler installation?
If you have often carry heavy loads in your car, whether this is from a large number of passengers that you ferry, or drive for extensive hours crossing from Singapore to our neighbouring countries, you may want to consider a transmission cooler installation. This is particularly if you observe that your transmission system tends to overheat, with the radiator alone not being able to cope. Overheating has its problems, as this means that the transmission fluid then cannot cool the running parts sufficiently, and the parts can be damaged in the process, such as cracks of parts and seals leaking.
Why have a transmission cooler installation
A transmission cooler is what we can add on to your cool to bolster the cooling and help your transmission system operate more efficiently. How the cooler works is that air that passes the fins of the cooler would help reduce the temperature when the transmission fluid runs through. There are also coolers built with additional fans to dissipate the heat even more.
Where is the transmission cooler installed?
There is quite some space under the hood to consider where to place your transmission cooler, but what we would do when we install this for you is to consider where is the most efficient cooling spot. This is typically in front of the radiator. We would also need to consider the internal set up of the car, such as whether there is space for setting up mounting points for brackets.
Types of transmission coolers
Stacked plate transmission cooler, Plate and fin transmission cooler
Most transmission coolers are made of aluminium as this helps to dissipate heat more quickly. There are however, different types of transmission coolers available. The stacked plate transmission cooler is one of the most popular ones because of the efficiency offered, through the larger turbulators that enhance the air flow. The plate and fin transmission cooler is less efficient than the stacked plate transmission cooler, but still offers a good surface area for cooling. This comprises of horizontal parallel plates.

After my free servicing period for my car, I thought it was time to look out for better priced alternatives. I gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call and tried out their service. It was a hassle free experience and good value. - Kenneth Chin, Buona Vista
I had a tire leak caused by a puncture after driving over some construction debris. ECV Car Service Singapore could fix this up for me so I don't need to spend on a new tire. Friendly workshop! - Mr K.T. Liew, Redhill
My car aircon was not functioning and I was not sure what the cause was. I initially brought my car to the dealer workshop and was told the compressor is down. But the price quoted for the compressor replacement was so high. I then gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call, and the price turned out to be much lower, and quality of service good. Thumbs up! - Joel Tan, Bukit Batok
