22k Economy Trans Cooler

The DERALE 22k Economy Trans Cooler is a proven fluid cooling solution designed for automatic transmission systems that demand reliable heat management without premium pricing. Built for drivers and mechanics who understand that transmission temperature directly impacts fluid lifespan, shift quality, and overall drivetrain longevity, this cooler addresses a fundamental need: keeping ATF within the optimal 175–200°F operating window. Whether you're running a daily driver, towing vehicle, or high-performance build, transmission overheat becomes a critical failure point that this economy-grade cooler effectively mitigates.

The 22k Economy Trans Cooler employs a tube-type aluminum and copper construction with a black powder-coat finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a clean, professional appearance under any vehicle. Its 11/32-inch hose barb inlets and outlets integrate seamlessly into existing transmission cooling lines, and the included fittings and hardware ensure hassle-free installation without custom fabrication. At 17.5 x 23.8 inches with a compact 1.3-inch depth, this unit fits tight engine bays while maximizing core surface area—critical for efficient convective cooling that doesn't require oversized mounting provisions or complex plumbing workarounds.

Automatic transmission-equipped vehicles benefit most from this cooler, especially those subjected to sustained load—towing, spirited driving, or hot-climate operation where factory cooling proves marginal. Installation requires basic mechanical skill: inline integration between the transmission and radiator cooling circuits, proper hose routing away from exhaust heat, and secure mounting to prevent vibration-induced failure. The DERALE 22k delivers measurable temperature reduction, extending transmission fluid service intervals and protecting critical friction materials from oxidative breakdown that costs far more than preventive cooling investment.
