Best Tranny Cooler
Searching turned up too many results so i figured i would ask this here. Going to install tranny cooler before my trip up to the mountains this weekend. Need a little better cooling because I always see the trans temp light just before i reach the top of berthoud pass. I have LAN's tcu so i figure it's hotter than i want but not cooked yet.
1. What kind and what size did you use? 2. Gauge? |

Re: Best Tranny Cooler
For reasons I have stated in the past (miminum flow resistance and avoiding excessive cooling for cold weather), I like the following options, found at summitracing.com:
Flex-a-lite 4109 Flex-a-lite 4110 Summitracing SUM-G4966 Even the 4109 should still have three times the cooling capacity of the internal cooler, if I recall correctly.

Re: Best Tranny Cooler
LAN's recommended setup, a cooler inside the front fender with a thermostatically controlled fan should be good also...

Re: Best Tranny Cooler
I sure hope you also will be installing a proper gauge as well.

Re: Best Tranny Cooler
cooler is a must, gauge also wanted. will probably have to order one as all the local shops stock gauges but not senders or kits to hook them up. anyone got a part number for a good gauge that works with stock sender or a kit that works well?
