Could you possibly post a graphic of the said gauge. Sounds great! Thanks, Keith |

I have been impressed by johnybeas enterprise in starting up his organisation and have passed details on to him, in the hope that I have provided him with the opportunity to produce and market what could be an inexpensive kitset. He would no doubt be delighted to receive expressions of interest. Meantime I feel obliged to ensure that he retains the benefit of any good will being established, so meantime I will refrain from disclosing exact details. Be sure that I have and do not wish to have, any financial involvement and have absolutely no mercenary intent in respect of the forum.

How hot and cold does it get in Corning NY? As to the mounting Hayden/Imperial ATF coolers come with a "zip cord" mounting system. I remove the factory radiator, trim some protruding bolts pointing towards the radiator, and attach it to the AC condenser, carefully routing the ATF transmission lines along the drivers side frame rail. More later.

If one were to put an external cooler in series then I think it may actually be a good idea to put a high quality but low capacity (small) cooler in the system. The reason is that the new cooler will increase the resistance to flow and might cause it to drop too low. Also, a larger cooler will cause air flow through the condenser/radiator/external cooler combination to be more restricted than a smaller cooler. That reduces cooling efficiency. This would seem to be a better option for a newer tranny/radiator that has less of a problem with overheating and clogging to start with. There is little to no concern about clogging like in the older models. The trannies don't run as hot as the older models. A small cooler makes sense and putting it in series makes sense. Where to put it then becomes the question. If it is plumbed prior to the existing radiator then it could be placed in either location. If it is plumbed after the existing radiator then putting it between the condenser and radiator probably is the way to go. Does anyone know where the ATF cooling lines are on the OEM radiator? I would think that one would want to avoid that area if one puts in a small external cooler. Doesn't make sense to remove heat from the ATF and then use that heated air to try and cool the ATF flowing through the radiator cooler. With the zip cord mounting system, do the external coolers attach to the either the condenser or the radiator and, if so, which is eaasier? Last edited by Huskymaniac; 08-16-2010 at 05:22 PM. |

Huskymaniac:
Within this thread you have stated that you have an engineering degree. Therefore some may accept that all of what post is exactly true. In this respect they should be very cautious.

Re: Trans cooler LINE question
That's fine. What part do you find inaccurate?

Re: Trans cooler LINE question
Sorry, but at the moment I do not have the time or inclination to sort out the rather overly complicated text involved. I was brief for good reason.

Re: Trans cooler LINE question
Let me help you Trevor... We could start with this question from huskyguy! "Does anyone know where the ATF cooling lines are on the OEM radiator?"
I had to read this question 10 times to believe it. Now I think I should just go back to bed... Keith |
