Requires fewer transmission oil cooler lines. Allows for smaller radiator headers and tanks. Allows transmission oil cooler to be combined with other OTA heat exchangers. Can be assembled as part of a vehicle cooling module. Improves fuel economy as a result of a more efficient transmission.
Delays onset of torque converter shudder.
Improves durability and reliability. Allows transmission to be decoupled from engine cooling. Reduces transmission calibration efforts. Improves transmission thermal management. Reduces complexity, cost and package space.
