Re: Transmission care
Ok no problem, I was only interested in the technical points.
Don't mean to cause anybody any problems. In addition, I would like to apologise to Trevor. I see that I have used his name here in a derogative maner. It was not intended to be, it just come out that way. But,,,,,,,,,,, I would like to take this up again with Phil, in another place, There is a lot to be learned.. Harvey.

A beautiful 230,069 mile SVX with an aftermarket trans cooler, Subi fix trans filter, a 4.44 installed years ago, with now maybe 150k on it. I removed the trans filter, disconnected the stock in rad cooler, and did a "transfusion" of Dexron to BG Products, with the engine running, the car in park. To watch the two/three year old fluid exit the trans through the clear hose, a clean but dark red, and watch the bright red BG enter through a similar hose was very, very cool! After a roadtest, I "think" that the slow 2/3, 3/4 shifts were better, but they were still too slow. I see a valve body for this one too.

Re: Transmission care
Harvey, I apologize for speaking very affirmatively and being more instructive in tone than convincing. I could have been more affable and amiable and wish I had been. I will endeavor to do so in the future.

Re: Transmission care
Reguarding transmission cooler size;
"I had to take a long drive today in 24-26°f weather, driving a 1)4.44 SVX with 2)a huge transmission cooler, 3)no external filter, 4)factory trans cooler bypassed, and 5)BG Products synthetic fluid in it. All five of these changes lower the transmission temperature. The highest trans temperature that I saw was 140°f even though I was driving at 3000rpm, about72 mph. When the temp dropped to 138°f, it would unlock the torque converter. The cooler in this SVX is a 15,7/8"total width, and 7,1/2" tall. It is a Hayden/Imperial #242016 that has six passes. For a summer car, or a Southern States car its might still be a little on the big side"
