Scan gauge monitors considerable drop in transmission temperature

A 300 Series transmission cooler upgrade is a common question from Toyota LandCruiser 300 owners who tow caravans, travel long distances, drive on sand, or run heavily loaded touring setups. Most owners do not start looking into transmission cooling for no reason. Some have seen a transmission temperature warning. Some

The 10R80 transmission used across the Ford Ranger, Ranger Raptor and Ranger Super Duty platform is a strong and capable 10-speed automatic, but transmission temperature is one of the most important things to understand if the vehicle is used for towing, touring, off-road work, larger tyres or heavy load applications.

Towing with an automatic transmission is normal for plenty of Australian drivers. Caravans, boats, work trailers, horse floats and campers are all regularly towed behind modern automatic vehicles. A well set up automatic can tow reliably for years, but towing places far more heat and load through the transmission than

Most automatic transmission failures don’t happen overnight. In most cases, the gearbox starts showing warning signs long before complete failure occurs. The problem is that early symptoms are often dismissed as “just how the car drives now” until the day the vehicle suddenly won’t shift properly or drops into limp

If your Toyota Hilux’s check engine light has come on and your automatic transmission is behaving strangely, there’s a good chance a diagnostic trouble code related to the transmission system is to blame. Three of the most common transmission fault codes that Hilux owners encounter are P0741, P0746, and P0776.

Add transmission cooling to drop running temp. An impressive 40 degree drop in transmission running temperature is confirmed after cooler upgrade.
