The continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX offers smooth shifting and impressive performance. However, demanding driving conditions, such as racing or towing, can lead to overheating and premature transmission failure. Mishimoto’s Wrx Cvt Transmission cooler kit provides a solution to this potential problem, ensuring optimal fluid temperatures and extending the life of your transmission.
Mishimoto’s Solution for WRX CVT Overheating
Mishimoto’s engineers designed a 19-row oil cooler strategically positioned at the front of the vehicle for maximum airflow. This large cooler works in conjunction with the factory transmission cooler to create a robust cooling system capable of handling high-stress situations. The kit is designed specifically for the 2015-2021 WRX CVT transmission, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.
Rigorous Testing and Proven Results
To validate the effectiveness of their design, Mishimoto conducted extensive testing. Engineers subjected a fully loaded WRX to steep inclines, simulating extreme driving conditions. Results showed a consistent 20°F (6.7°C) drop in transmission fluid temperatures, even under normal driving conditions. This significant temperature reduction demonstrates the cooler’s ability to protect the WRX CVT transmission from overheating.
Easy Installation and Thoughtful Design
Mishimoto prioritized ease of installation with this kit. Pre-cut rubber lines with stock transmission fittings, application-specific mounting brackets with provisions for aftermarket horns, and all necessary hardware are included. The mounting brackets even accommodate popular aftermarket horns, simplifying installation further. The cooler is available in Sleek Silver or Stealth Black to complement your WRX’s aesthetics.
Mishimoto’s Commitment to Quality
Like all Mishimoto products, the WRX CVT transmission cooler kit is backed by their Lifetime Warranty, providing peace of mind and demonstrating their confidence in the product’s durability and performance. This comprehensive warranty ensures long-lasting protection for your investment.
Conclusion: Invest in the Longevity of Your WRX CVT Transmission
If you push your WRX CVT to its limits, whether on the track or during daily driving, the Mishimoto transmission cooler is a crucial upgrade. By maintaining optimal fluid temperatures, this kit prevents overheating and potential transmission damage, ensuring your WRX performs reliably for years to come. The easy installation, combined with Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty, makes this an investment worth considering for any 2015-2021 WRX owner with a CVT.
