tranny stuff!!!!!!!!!!
hey all
im getting a used tranny put in my 92 svx, and i hear alot that you should get it converted to synthetic fluid and to put some kind of cooler on it. i also want to put a shift changer on it, or short ****fter or something like that. im wondering where i can find a tranny cooler or shift changer, (when i say shift changer im talking about something a guy at a transmission shop told me about that will help it change gears quicker and its better for the tranny). does anyone one know where i can find a good tranny cooler and shift changer for the svx. |

Tranny shift changer
Automantic Transmission Exchange in Portland Oregon has what you are looking for.
Go to txchange.com On their site they describe a shift that is not as smooth (more abrupt) as we're are used to with an A/T. They claim it is less wearing on the parts of the tranny that wear/fail from heat and friction. They push an additive called LUBEGARD, anyone use it? They also have tranny service manuals for $14. Give us feed back if you do it.

tranny cooler
The B&M 19,000 gvw tranny cooler seems to be a popular choice. I got mine from www.summitracing.com for 52 bucks or so. I think others have liked a perma-cool cooler because it comes with it's own dedicated cooling fan. I think summit has them too.

Tranny cooler size
I expect you've noticed there is not a lot of room to add stuff under the hood. The easiest space to put ATF coolers is between the radiator and a/c condensor, coolers for this spot can only be 3/4 inches thick. The available space is almost the size of the radiator. The down side to this location is the cooler is 75% effecient there. Look at Perma Cool & B&M web sites for specs.

I have sent off to these guys for a manual, to help with putting the '96 tranny into my '91 import. Will let you all know what the manual is like when it arrives. Joe
