The CVT Transmission in the Subaru WRX 2015+ is an impressive system, offering smooth and seamless gear changes with the pull of a lever.
However, overheating transmission fluid can lead to early component failure, particularly for those interested in racing their WRX or towing a small trailer.
Mishimoto has the solution for any high-stress situation you can throw at your WRX equipped with a CVT.
Mishimoto began by placing a large 19-row oil cooler at the front of the vehicle, where it receives the most airflow.
The Mishimoto oil cooler kit is designed to work alongside the stock transmission cooler, creating a system ready for any challenge.
When installed, the Mishimoto engineers subjected the transmission cooler to a series of rigorous tests, including driving the vehicle fully loaded with occupants and cargo up a steep grade to measure the efficiency of the 19-row oil cooler.
Mishimoto engineers observed consistent drops in transmission fluid temperatures of 20 Degrees Fahrenheit (6.7 Degrees Celsius), with temperature decreases even during normal driving.
If you drive your WRX CVT hard on the racetrack or street, the Mishimoto CVT Transmission cooler is essential.
