APART FROM USING ONE OF OUR BOLT-ON TRANSMISSION COOLER KITS (IN-STORE UNDER COOLER KITS)
THIS THERMAL BYPASS CONTROL VALVE IS A PERFECT UPGRADE FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM
PERFECT FOR TOWING CONDITIONS
COMES WITH FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
The factory-designed valve has been shown in real-world
experience that it is prone to becoming stuck in its
bore in the closed position blocking any cooler flow.
The transmission temp fluid sensor will not signal until
well past the danger point of 130c.
The valve generally becomes stuck due to
contamination in the oil due to worn bushings and
torque converter problems. This commonly leads to a
major transmission failure due to a no-lube condition
To solve this problem our friends at Superior Transmission Parts
have developed a non-stick, full-time lube cooler valve STL009
that can be fitted in the vehicle whilst servicing the valve body.
Valve body removal is required
Its installation will allow for correct instant oil checking
even at cold temperatures without a warm upcycle, saving on
average 45 minutes and guarantees full-time cooler flow for greater
transmission life and lower average temperature operating range,
thanks to a built-in hi-pressure safety bypass valve in the cooler
lube circuit. Due to the full-time lube, the average operating
temperatures are typically maintained around 70c – 90c even under
working conditions.
KEY BENEFITS :
- Full-time cooler flow with much lower average fluid temperature
- Built-in high-pressure safety bypass into the lube circuit
- Immediate and accurate fluid level checks without a warm-up cycle save’s tech time for rechecking. (45 min. average)
- Easy install, drop-in replacement…can be done in-car when servicing the valve body.
The OEM wax pellet-style thermostatic flow control system defaults to a cooler flow OFF state. To switch to a cooler flow ON state, it requires a preheat cycle up to the boiling temperature of the water or higher. When it malfunctions (typically in the OFF state), cooler flow is bypassed, and the ATF and transmission are overheated. This affects the operation of the pump, valve body, and solenoids, as well as the operation of the sealing rings and clutch drums.
The patented Sure-Cool systems default to cooler flow ON state, which provides instant fill and air purge of cooler and lines so that accurate fluid level can be established during initial start-up after repair without lengthy warm upcycle. Installers do not need to handle a hot transmission. The default ON state will typically maintain a stable ATF operating temperature of around 160 degrees even under working conditions. This extends fluid life, prevents a wide range of over-temp operating malfunctions, and helps the control system provide consistent shift and operation control. When the OEM thermostatic system is switched to a cooler flow ON state, if the radiator gets blocked or cooler lines get pinched, all lube flow is blocked which results in a cascade failure to flow (needle bearings, bushings, and crashed planetaries). With the Sure-Cool system installed, if cooler flow gets blocked, it immediately bypasses directly into the lube circuits to maintain lube flow to the planets avoiding total failure.
