Product Description
In an attempt to balance drivability and the health of your transmission, Dodge/Chrysler fitted a thermostatic bypass valve to the lines that feed the transmission cooler. This valve ensures fluid doesn't flow through the cooler before the transmission reaches operating temperature, preventing overcooling in cold environments. However, when the thermostat in this valve fails, it's almost a guarantee your transmission will overheat. Moreover, those who live in hot climates will likely never have to worry about overcooling, rendering the valve a useless flow restriction.
That's why Mishimoto has developed a performance thermostatic bypass valve for the 2005-2013 Dodge Charger, Challenger, or Chrysler 300. Our performance thermostatic bypass valve features a fully-serviceable and removable thermostat. For those who live in hot climates, the thermostat can be replaced with the included bypass to allow full flow to the transmission cooler at all times. Speaking of flow, the Mishimoto performance thermostatic bypass provides increased flow over the stock valve to ensure your transmission cooler operates at peak efficiency, even with the thermostat installed. The included thermostat opens at the stock temperature of 160°F (71°C), but the valve can be customized to suit your needs with

The transmission in your JK Wrangler is practically the essence of what makes it a Jeep. The sturdy gear sets housed inside, transferring power from the engine, give the Wrangler its go anywhere, do anything attitude. Jeeps pride themselves on being ready for any situation, from the dusty trails to mall parking lots, but are they in it for the long haul? Where the transmission is the soul of the Jeep, keeping it cool can sometimes pose a challenge. True, there are plenty of means of maintaining transmission fluid cool with external coolers, but they won't do you any good if the fluid never makes it to the cooler. That's why a sturdy thermal bypass valve is essential for the Jeep JK Wrangler, along with a myriad of other Mopar products.
Before we dive straight into our new design, let's take a look at the who, what, and why of the thermal bypass valve. First, your automatic transmission is a collection of planetary gear sets, clutch packs, shafts, and other wizardry suspended in a slurry
