Hello Guys,
i have a jeep liberty 2003 V6 3.7L facing an overheating problem in transmission system, after some time of driving the car generate a lot of heat that you can feel near the front seat doors while leaving the car, it starts to make kicking sound (a hit sound while moving between transmission speeds) and it torque die, especially while going up the hills.
while checking the radiators, i noticed that the main radiator (Water Radiator), isn't linked with pipes to the transmission system, the hoses plugs for the transmission cooling on the radiator are available but they are not linked, the transmission cools through a small radiator (Air Radiator) located in front at the bottom of the main radiator, the jeep got imported from Canada, Canada have very low temps compering to us as the lowest temp here may reach 0C to -5C and this is only for few weeks, the average temp is 10C-20C.
please note that the transmission oil overheating signal doesn't light on the dash board.

Picture of the Hose:
what I'm planing to do is to cut the hose that flows back the transmission oil from the air radiator(Small one), then plug it to the main radiator (water cooling) and then link it back to the cut hose.
this picture will explain you what i'm talking about:
