A/C Condenser/Transmission Combo Cooler

The A/C condenser/transmission combo cooler has the following characteristics:

- It is an aluminum fin-and-tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
- It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.
- The bottom portion of the cooler is separated to be used for transmission oil cooling.
