Mishimoto CVT Transmission Cooler Subaru WRX

The Mishimoto CVT Transmission Cooler (also called a CVT transmission oil cooler or fluid cooler kit) adds cooling capacity to a CVT-equipped vehicle. Overheated transmission fluid can lead to early component wear and failure. This is a particular risk with hard street driving, track use, or towing. This kit adds a front-mounted auxiliary cooler to help keep fluid temperatures in check.

Key Features:

• Proven cooling performance: Mishimoto testing showed a consistent drop of about 20°F (6.7°C) in transmission fluid temperature compared with the stock cooler alone.
• Stacked-plate design: A 19-row stacked-plate oil cooler is front mounted to get maximum airflow.
• Works with the factory system: The cooler operates alongside the stock transmission cooler. It is also compatible with the Mishimoto engine oil cooler kit.
• Direct-fit installation: The kit needs no cutting or modification to the vehicle. It uses application-specific mounting brackets, and the brackets include provisions for aftermarket horns.
• Complete kit: Mounting hardware, rubber transmission hose, fittings and clamps are included, as documented by the manufacturer.
• Fluid capacity: The installed kit adds approximately 1 qt of transmission fluid capacity.
• Backed by Mishimoto: The kit carries the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.

Mishimoto is a well-known name in performance cooling. This kit is designed to give CVT owners extra thermal protection without giving up the factory cooling system. After installation, check all connections and fittings for tightness at regular intervals, especially during the first few miles. Recommended torque for straight fittings and banjo bolts is 15-25 ft-lbs.
