Any recommendations?
I want to stay away from putting an inline thermostat if that makes any difference.
Appreciate the suggestions.
I have an Hayden/Imperial transmission on all of my SVXi, both my sons, and Green-Eyed-Lady's.
The biggest one is on my supercharged Claret. It's 10 X 12 X 3/4", and its actually too big SINCE I installed LAN's valve body!
(LAN's valve body flows more oil so the transmission is cooler to begin with!)
A 7.5" X 12 X3/4" cooler from Hayden/Imperial would be more than enough for Florida!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you have the Subaru factory campaign filter, take it off!
I just replaced an 80,250 mile SVX transmission and the campaign was so clogged I count blow through it!

In Florida you do not REALLY need the cooler/warmer IMHO, and it is VERY VERY restrictiive to flow.
I hope this helps.
BTW, that same 7.5 X 12 X 3/4 cooler would be too big for a Winter driven SVX in the Northern states in the Contintal United States!
