transmission cooler???? HOW DO I GET THIS!

[dnhieu]

is this a transmission cooler? how do i get one? will this help keep my transmission shifting smooth and staying in good mechanical shape.

oOo yeah and the pics were from 4sfed4 gallery

All 1g auto trans cars have a trans cooler. It appears that guy upgraded his lines and most likely went with a bigger cooler.

i didnt know autos had a transmission cooler? mike how is your motor comming along? mine goes out to machine work tuesday!

 

[Mike1992]

Yea all auto's tranny cars have them. If the tranny fluid gets to hot it warps internal parts and causes slipping + more. My engine coming along slowly. Im waiting on my head to get out of the machine shop. After I get that back Im bolting it all up and dropping it in hopefully this weekend. I'll post pics in my engine rebuild thread as soon as I get it back.

If you need any help with re-assembly let me know. I found my chrystler service manual to be the most helpful for torque specs. Good Luck with your build

I have a radiator replacement for an auto in mine... I use the stock style trans cooler for a PS cooler since the stock one is gone to clear the FMIC...

Adding a bigger cooler to an auto is easy...

Stock tranny coolers are apart of the rad assembly.

Depends on the vehicle. I know my auto 1g nt had it built into the rad, but I think 2g's have an external tranny cooler.

Indeed 2g's are external, atleast turbo models. Mine was in the driver's side fenderwell/bumper area. That guy just has upgraded lines or ss line covers.

you can even put a cooler on a manual tranny, you make fittings that match the threads on the drain & fill to AN's and then run out from there. You have to pull fluid out through the drain (and you will NEED a pump to move the fluid, since it's not pressurized the way an automatic is) and then you just run the line from the cooler back to the transmission fill. On a manual it's pretty much un-necessary unless you are going rallying or road racing, as the fluids shouldn't be a problem without those kinds of stress.

wow that sounds like a PITA. the only reason why i want to do it is because it seems in this 90 degree heat of fl that the longer i drive the car the harder it becomes to shift. i just put some penzoil syncromesh in and im still feeling that out. so far its working pretty good

I honestly think that the synchromesh is too light for really good gearset protection. Some of the guys up here are running 2:1 NEO RHD & Synchromesh, and they are reporting that with a good tranny, it shifts very smooth, like with straight synchro, but that the NEO gives way better protection, especially since they are making a lot of power (11 second cars & faster).

In my slow stinkin' cars I run Redline MTL/MT90 mix, usually 2:1 with more MT90 than MTL, though in a car with worn synchros, i'd reverse that. Gear oil experiments are really good. I think next time i change the fluid in the galant, i'm going to 2:1 MTL:lightweight shockproof. That way i get the more slippery fluid, but some additional protection from the heavy stuff.

Or i'm just insane.
