Overview
The MAHLE ATX-3 PLUS BOOST is a professional-grade automatic transmission fluid exchanger that combines precision digital weight scale technology with dual-mode versatility. Offering both Cooler Line and Dipstick Tube operation, this fully automated system delivers accurate fluid exchanges in 3-6 minutes with its high-output boost pump. The dual load cell design monitors fluid mass in real time, while the patented bypass circuit protects vehicles during power interruptions. With intuitive electronic controls, integrated pressure diagnostics, and fluid flow direction indicators, the ATX-3 makes transmission service efficient and profitable for shops of all sizes.

Key Features
Dual Mode Service Flexibility
Switch between Cooler Line mode for standard exchanges and Dipstick Tube mode for sealed transmissions or when pan removal is required, accommodating virtually any vehicle configuration.
Digital Load Cell Accuracy
Dual 35 kg load cells independently weigh new and used fluid tanks, providing true mass measurement and eliminating errors from density variations across fluid types.
High-Output Boost Pump
Integrated 7.2 quart-per-minute diaphragm pump accelerates fluid circulation on low-flow and temperature-controlled transmissions, reducing service time to as little as 2-5 minutes.
Proportional Motor Control
Electronic controller modulates pump speed in real time based on incoming fluid weight, preventing turbulence and mixing for maximum old-fluid displacement.
Transmission Pressure Diagnostics
Built-in pressure gauges monitor system pressure during exchange, helping technicians troubleshoot internal transmission problems before completing service.
Patented Bypass Protection
Proprietary safety circuit automatically bypasses the exchanger if power is lost, allowing fluid to continue circulating through the vehicle transmission without interruption or damage.
