Perrin Transmission Oil Cooler Kit 2015-2021 WRX CVT | 4X Larger Core | Transmission Cooling Kit
Overview
The Perrin Transmission Oil Cooler Kit is designed specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX equipped with a CVT transmission. This kit effectively manages CVT oil temperatures, reducing heat buildup under heavy load conditions such as towing, spirited driving, or off-road use. By maintaining optimal transmission fluid temperatures, it helps extend the life of both the CVT transmission and the transmission oil itself.
Engineered with a high-efficiency bar and plate-style oil cooler core, the Perrin kit offers superior cooling performance compared to the OEM tube and fin design. The core is four times larger than the factory cooler, providing significantly increased surface area for heat dissipation. The robust construction and stainless steel mounting brackets ensure durability and reliable fitment, even in demanding environments.
For Subaru WRX owners, this transmission oil cooler kit delivers tangible benefits by keeping CVT temperatures 15°-20°F cooler than stock. This temperature reduction translates to improved transmission reliability and longevity, especially during high-stress driving scenarios. The kit’s design also facilitates straightforward installation with all necessary hardware included, making it a practical upgrade for enthusiasts focused on preserving their vehicle’s drivetrain health.
