Do I have a factory tranny cooler? PIC

[south59]

Halfway through a flush i find out that some explorers dont even have coolers, and ive already dropped the pan and replaced the fluid with new ATF. Heres a pic of the radiator taken from under the bumper, I'm not an expert, so I might be missing it, but can someone tell me if ive got the factory cooler?

If I dont have a cooler, Do I have any other options to do a flush at the moment??

All explorer's with automatic transmissions have transmission coolers. But most people agree the stock cooler isnt enough and alot of people have added aftermarket coolers.

It looks like you don't have the aux cooler. Hard to tell from that pic though.

This is the stock aux cooler on a 2000 5.0:

I am not sure about 2nd Gen and later, but I think 1st Gens only had coolers as part of the towing package... I may be wrong.

i know my Ex has the tow package and that very same cooler up front... i have never looked at other 1st gen explorers though to see if they have the aux trany coolers

So its looking like i probably dont have one right? I cant imagine any other location for it.

look straight thru the front grille. Thats were they are for the 1st gen and i would assume it is a similar position on others


the auto's at the very least have lines running through a cooler built into the radiator itself and alot of them have the aux cooler as mentioned before coming with a tow package. The aux one would be mounted on the front side of the radiator behind the grille. Its a small rectangle maybe 8"x10" and should have some rubber hoses connected at the bottom

Thanks for your help, Yeah, I dont have an aux cooler then, so Pulling the transmission line off the cooler that is built into the radiator wont be a problem to do the flush? Do you know if this is a metal or rubber line?
