Ok so I have a 94 Toyota pickuo 4x4 3.0 and my problem is the trans gets really hot. I've eliminated the cooler lines to radiator and added 2 after market trans coolers. I've changed the fluid 3 times and on 3rd time I changed filter. I have no problems in the shifting at all it just that it gets really hot. I dont abuse my truck or take it off roading. I don't smell any burnt fluid and the fluid is still nice and pink. Im thinking of adding a 3rd trans cooler but before i do im just wondering if you guys have any ideas to what could cause this. I do have a seal leaking which I will replace when I do another trans fluid change with Trans-X but that will be next week. I don't lose fluid that bad. I usually have to top it off every 2 to 3 months and that's not even half a bottle of ATF. Pls any Info will help.

 

Woah! Hang on there before you put 10 more transmission coolers on!

How do you know that the transmission is getting really hot?

Are your current transmission coolers located in an area for maximum airflow?

 

Yes I've mounted both trans coolers right in front of the condenser about inch and a half space from condenser. Yes it gets hot to the point where I feel it kinda burning my right leg from the heat. It's not from the exhaust because I checked it and the heat is coming from the trans. I've check the auto temp light and tested the bulb and it works.
