CVT Transmission Cooler for the 2015+ Subaru WRX, Installation Video

[@drjpooah]

went to dealership and told the supplies that I would take unused cvt fluid so i had to wait a few weeks but they gave me some left over cvt fluid for the price of regular cvt fluid so a half gallon cost me only about 30 dollars.

[@samurphy]

Needed: 10mm socket. . sorry, i'm out. gotta return the kit.. who knows where that is.

[@SycsFinest]

Looks good. I'm about to tackle your catch can system once it warms up outside. Maybe I'll add this to the list

[@raquelclavero7453]

No me interesa

[@pf465]

I feel this install video is a little incomplete. You did not advise the installer on what to do with the fluid lines that were removed from the stock cooler to install the remote cooler lines. Were they left dangling about? Would they release any fluid if left attached to the trans.?

[@mishimoto]

Hey PF, you will be removing one of the trans lines coming from the OE cooler entirely and replacing it with one of the hoses going to our core. The other line from the Mishi cooler should be routed back to the open port on the transmission. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out to [e-mail]!

[@LANCE6148613]

Do you have an install video that includes aftermarket horns?

[@mishimoto]

Unfortunately not. My apologies J Lao.

[@ryaela]

after installation do I have to check on the level of the cvt fluid in Mishimoto transmission cooler every tune up of the vehicle? Thanks. Will be installing next week. Thank you.

[@mishimoto]

You'll need to check it after installation for proper fluid level and we recommend checking the levels at each oil change to be sure there are no leaks.

[@michaelhappel51]

Will this work on the 2015 Impreza Sport 2.0 with the CVT?

[@mishimoto]

We have not tested fitment on the Impreza Sport so we cannot confirm if this would bolt up.

[@TheMrBorden]

Hey, I have the same vehicle, did you try it out?

[@JevaughnGraham123]

It will work you just maybe have to make few modifications to mount the cooler

[@Hallowsaw]

Anyone know where the trans cooler is on a 3.6r 5eat legacy?

[@Hakeeeeeeem]

Is there an oil pump to assure that this intercooler is functional!!

[@mishimoto]

Your transmission would pump the fluid through.

[@wyvern3525]

Is this mountable with the oil cooler as well?

[@mishimoto]

Hey Jonathan, this will work out with our oil cooler kit installed!

[@wyvern3525]

thats great to hear because that's next on my list i just got a TPI and the CVT cooler. Thx!

[@nbtholl1]

Will you guys make a kit for the forester xt?

[@mishimoto]

There is currently nothing planned specifically for the forester, however it might be something we might look into in the future.

[@chicomfbean5752]

I heard these are compatible with the 2013 Nissan Maxima ?

[@mishimoto]

We do not have any confirmed fitment for our CVT cooler on the Maxima at this time.

[@9seven984]

Does the car need a tune after installing this?

[@mishimoto]

Nope!

[@wyvern3525]

Bought my CVT cooler then realized the two subaru dealers closest to me don't sell High torque CVT solution. How did you guys get your hands on some?

[@mishimoto]

We picked up Subaru SOA748V0200

[@wyvern3525]

@@mishimoto do you guys have a way to buy it from them? because all the dealerships around me do not carry it. If so I could just talk to your sales department about ordering some from you guys if thats cool?

[@ChrisWY27]

@@wyvern3525 Looking at the part number they gave that's for a $360 bucket of the fluid. I too don't see a way to buy a quart. parts.patrickssubaru.com/p/49506108/SOA748V0200.html

[@mishimoto]

we unfortunately do not have any extra on hand to sell. This was purchased solely for our engineers to test with. Most customers we've spoken with have had to pick up the full bucket directly from Subaru or Subaru parts suppliers.

[@wyvern3525]

@@mishimoto dang! I really wish subaru would just sell the quarts of this stuff instead of 5 gallons for 350$ only. looks like my CVT cooler will sit pretty till then.

[@ycr2626]

if i get the mishimoto radiator for my wrx cvt 2018 then where i should place this cvt cooler? thank you

[@mishimoto]

The install location of the CVT cooler would not change with the install of our radiator.

[@ycr2626]

@@mishimoto thank you !

[@Lehx]

I’m assuming it would be possible to install it so the “M” logo is facing outward? (Even though it would turn into a W.

[@mishimoto]

Hey Michaeloll . The orientation of the M is completely up to the customer. If you do not like how the logo is positioned out of the box, we could always send out a stencil for a quick re-spray.

[@Lehx]

Mishimoto Automotive do the lines going into the cooler have to go in a specific way or each line goes in wherever?

[@mishimoto]

Hey Michaeloll . In this situation, there is no proper orientation for the lines. Just be sure every line is secured properly, and you are good to go!

[@williamjohnson2579]

i thought the cvt tran was sealed?

[@sonnylolll]

Will it void Subaru warranty?

[@mishimoto]

Nope! Check out the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

[@IbeArcher]

Any plans to make one for the Forester?

[@mishimoto]

+Arthur Archer please email [e-mail] - they will be more than happy to answer any technical questions! :)

[@MrLoong32]

So does it means after installation, will get stock and mishimoto cooler at the same time?

[@mishimoto]

The stock cooler is retained as it does help get the transmission up to operating temperature much sooner preventing excessive wear on the transmission.

[@jeffreypua1981]

need the cvt fluid. costs 350.00 for 5 gallons at subaru. help! should we get amsoil's cvt fluid?

[@mishimoto]

+jeffrey pua please email [e-mail] - they will be more than happy to answer any technical questions! :)

[@JustSomeGuy23]

5 gallons is a lot I think you only need 1

[@BrassStacks]

What did you end up doing?

[@jeffreypua1981]

D Rock 75 i went to the dealer and begged for used scraps and the supply guy was nice enough to give me 0.5 gallons worth and that was perfect to install this.

[@grizzly609]

Hi I own a 2016 wrx cvt. I brought it to Subaru to get checked out. The mechanic said the fluid should be green. But it’s orange pink color because it’s meant for high torch. Am I wrong or is that dealership wrong

[@mishimoto]

The CVT WRX uses High Torque CVT fluid, this should be an orange color. The green fluid is what is used on standard CVT transmission and should not be used in the WRX CVT

[@grizzly609]

Thank you !

[@rafaelmendez3314]

Does it fit with a front mount intercooler

[@mishimoto]

The CVT cooler will fit with the front mount intercooler installed.

[@eddieliao1500]

Can I apply this for my Subaru XV Crosstrek? TKS

[@mishimoto]

Sorry 廖培鈞 ! This will not fit your XV Crosstrek.

[@richardfadera9785]

Do you have a kit for 2014 Crosstrek?

[@eznz1177]

I have hella horns installed on mine, would this cover it completely or is there a way to lower it?

[@mishimoto]

The length of the lines may prevent you from relocating the cooler. You may want to move the horns, or source longer lines to have more flexibility with the cooler placement.

[@brankobotic6149]

will it fit the 2015 forester xt

[@mishimoto]

Hi Branko! I'm sorry but this particular trans cooler will not fit your 2015 Forester XT - however, we do have a range of universal transmission coolers you can check out here: www.mishimoto.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=universal+transmission+cooler

[@brankobotic6149]

Mishimoto Automotive do you have any thing that will fit my forester

[@mishimoto]

Yes we do! Check out our Subaru Forester XT Race Intake 2014+: www.mishimoto.com/subaru-forester-xt-race-intake-2014.html

[@liammaupin9492]

Will this fit a 2012 Impreza CVT?

[@mishimoto]

This was designed for the 2015+ models and will require modification to work on other vehicles.

[@liammaupin9492]

Mishimoto Automotive do you know any modifications they would be required?

[@leventocakci]

Can This fit to levorg?

[@mishimoto]

A lot of the parts are compatible between he two models. As long as you car is using the high torque CVT we do not see why this should not work. I would check your OEM part numbers to confirm this.

[@CaelstromPC]

You lost me at the 10mm socket lol

[@10MMsocketfinder]

Can I use this on my 2011 Subaru Forester XT 4EAT?

[@mishimoto]

We have not tested this on the 2011 Forester. Sorry!

[@davidmartillier4695]

will it fit 2014 Subaru Impreza Sport?

[@mishimoto]

This will not fit the 2014 Impreza Sport. Sorry!

[@artilleryisbetter]

does this cooler also fit for the 2017+ Impreza Hatchback?

[@mishimoto]

We have not tested this on the non turbo Imprezas. Sorry!
