In a previous newsletter called “A Whale of a Problem”, the subject of fluid blowing out of the vent or filler tube was discussed. One of the causes can be due to an over heated transmission. With several possibilities being the cause to transmission fluid overheating, the subject was reserved for a newsletter all its own.
line between the transmission and radiator (figure 4), or they can be in the radiator itself (figure 5). When these malfunction, they prevent the transmission fluid from being cooled by the radiator or heat exchanger.
Radiators (figure 5) and heat exchangers (figure 6) can be another cause to transmission fluid overheating. If the cooler flow itself was restricted where it could not pass through the radiator or heat exchanger to be cooled, for some configurations, this would negatively affect lube causing catastrophic failure to the gear train.
