A transmission cooler kit adds cooling capacity when towing, carrying significant payload or operating in demanding conditions. Automatic transmission fluid is exposed to more heat when the vehicle works harder. Sustained high temperature can reduce the fluid's lubricating performance and increase wear inside the transmission. A gearbox cooler kit, often described as an auto trans cooler, helps the system manage that additional thermal load.
Direction Plus Transchill Arctic Black kits in this collection are listed for selected Isuzu, Nissan and Toyota applications. The range covers the Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X, Nissan Navara NP300, Toyota Hilux N70 and N80, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series, and Toyota Prado 150 and 155 Series. Check the exact vehicle model and series before ordering. If you are not sure, reach out to our friendly staff.

KEY CATEGORIES AND WHAT THEY'RE BUILT FOR
DIRECTION PLUS TRANSCHILL ARCTIC BLACK KITS
The products available in this collection are from the Transchill Arctic Black range. Each kit is listed for a specific vehicle application, so use the exact model and series when selecting a product or requesting installation information.
WHY TRANSMISSION HEAT MATTERS
Automatic transmission fluid lubricates components, supports hydraulic operation and carries heat away from the transmission. Towing, long climbs, high ambient temperatures and added vehicle load can increase the amount of heat the system must manage. Vehicle speed, terrain, transmission condition and driving technique also affect operating temperature.
The factory cooling system remains important. An auxiliary transmission cooler is intended to support heat management when the vehicle regularly operates under greater thermal load. It is not a substitute for correct fluid condition, transmission servicing or diagnosis of an existing fault.
CHOOSE BY VEHICLE AND USE CASE
Start with the exact vehicle series, then consider how the vehicle is used. The Direction Plus Transchill products listed in this collection include:
Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X: Transchill Arctic Black Transmission Cooler Kit ISUZU D-MAX & MU-X (TCB601DPK).
Nissan Navara NP300: Transchill Arctic Black Transmission Cooler Kit NISSAN NAVARA NP300 (TCB630DPK).
Toyota Hilux N70: Transchill Arctic Black Transmission Cooler Kit TOYOTA HILUX N70 (TCB612DPK).
Toyota Hilux N80: Transchill Arctic Black Transmission Cooler Kit TOYOTA HILUX N80 (TCB628DPK).
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series: Transchill Arctic Black Transmission Cooler Kit TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 300 SERIES (TCB635DPK).
Toyota Prado 150 and 155 Series: Transchill Arctic Black Transmission Cooler Kit TOYOTA PRADO 150 & 155 SERIES (TCB620DPK).
A transmission cooler is most relevant where the vehicle regularly tows, climbs for extended periods, carries significant payload or works in hot weather. An unloaded vehicle used mainly on sealed roads may not need additional cooling. Vehicle condition and operating history should be considered before fitting.

WHAT A QUALITY TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALL INVOLVES
The exact process differs by vehicle. Installation requires the cooler to be mounted where it receives suitable airflow without interfering with other components. Lines must be routed without kinks, abrasion points or excessive heat exposure. Connections need to be secured correctly, and the transmission fluid must be brought back to the appropriate specification and level.
After fitting, the system should be checked for leaks and correct operation at working temperature. DIY installation should only be attempted with the correct tools, product instructions and experience working with transmission lines and fluid levels.
Our Ferntree Gully and Pakenham workshops fit vehicle-specific transmission cooler kits and complete the required fluid, leak and operating checks. Send us a service enquiry with your vehicle, transmission details, selected kit and towing or work profile. If you are not sure, reach out to our friendly staff. Our team can provide an installation quote and booking information.
Email sales@ultimateoffroad.com.au with your vehicle details and our friendly staff will confirm fitment, quote the work and arrange a booking at Ferntree Gully or Pakenham.
