Transmission Cooler Reccomendations

[97ranger4x4]

the easiest way is with a fluid exchanger (in other words, have a shop do it). theres also a procedure that involves removing the cooler line, but i wouldnt reccomend it for novices as its easy to ruin a tranny if not performed properly.

Well in that case i will not be performing this. How much does it usually cost a shop to do it?

depends on your area. your best bet is to just call some shops in your area and ask. they can give you prices over the phone.

Jiffy Lube does it. Can't be too much since they need to move you quickly to make money.

no they don't.....my '97 had no such aux cooler....it just had the one in the radiator.....and mine has the tow package....

It was a standard part of the tranny at least through '91--I have the complete service manuals for '89 and '91. I suppose they increased the capacity of the built-in cooler sometimne before '97. Thanks for the correction.

My '96 Ranger doesn't have one either. They probably thought they fixed the problems in the A4LD with the 4R/5R series. Fools.
