If you're towing heavy loads, driving in tough conditions, or pushing your vehicle harder than most, your transmission needs more than just a regular service.

BUILT TO SUIT
Cool, Calm & Collected Transmissions
No two drivers are the same — and neither are their vehicles. That’s why we tailor every transmission upgrade to suit how and where you drive. If you're towing a van up and down the hills of the Northern Rivers, we’ll fit an oil cooler designed to keep your transmission temp under control.
If you're after sharper shifting or stronger acceleration, we’ll look at torque converter upgrades or shift kits that make sense for your engine and gearbox. Every upgrade is installed in-house by our experienced team, with attention to detail and a clear explanation of how it works.
We’ll never push an upgrade you don’t need — but if there’s a smarter way to set your transmission up, we’ll let you know. Call (02) 6686 0511 to get started.
FAQs
What is a transmission oil cooler?
A transmission oil cooler is a device that helps regulate the temperature of your transmission fluid by dissipating excess heat. It’s especially important for vehicles that tow, carry heavy loads or drive in hot conditions, where the transmission works harder and heats up faster. Overheated transmission fluid can break down and reduce the efficiency and lifespan of the transmission. By keeping temperatures in check, an oil cooler reduces wear, prevents fluid breakdown and improves overall performance. Some vehicles come with factory-installed coolers, but aftermarket upgrades are available for enhanced cooling. It’s a valuable addition for maintaining long-term transmission health.
What are the benefits of a transmission upgrade?
Upgrading your transmission, or parts of it, can improve towing capacity, shift response, durability and overall driving performance. This can involve stronger internal components, better fluid cooling systems or performance-tuned software for gear changes. Upgrades are especially beneficial for vehicles used in demanding conditions, such as towing, off-roading or commercial use. They help extend the lifespan of the transmission by reducing stress on key components. A transmission upgrade can also increase fuel efficiency in some cases and offer a smoother driving experience. Consulting a transmission specialist will help identify the best options for your vehicle and driving needs.
How do I maintain a transmission oil cooler?
Maintenance for a transmission oil cooler is minimal but important. Periodically inspect the cooler and its hoses for leaks, blockages or damage. Dirt and debris can build up on the cooler’s fins, reducing its efficiency—clean it carefully if needed. During regular transmission servicing, ask your mechanic to check the cooler’s performance and fluid condition. If you notice unusually high transmission temperatures, it could signal a problem with the cooler. Replacing worn or damaged components promptly ensures consistent cooling and avoids strain on your transmission. With proper care, a transmission oil cooler will continue protecting your system for years.
