#3922, "Aluminum radiator + AT tranny??"


          

I am looking into getting a new radiator before summer time hits. And since I am turbo I was thinking of an aluminum radiator. Heres the question, I read some where that a fluidyne radiator wont fit in an AT eclipse. Is there any truth in this? If so are there any companies out there that will make an aluminum radiator for the at transmission (ex. www.radiatorbarn.com)?

I'd imagine that the problem is the lack of a trans fluid cooler built into the radiator. Otherwise, I believe the mounting points and connections will match up. You could choose to run a M/T aluminum radiator and a large auxiliary A/T fluid cooler. It would be wise to buy a trans fluid temp gauge to make sure you keep the temps in check even when idling in traffic. However, I believe that you could convince most any custom aluminum radiator manufacturer to incorporate a trans fluid cooler into the radiator. It should be a fairly common option for the domestic V8 cars.

The fluidyne rad will fit fine but you will have to use an external cooler for the tranny.

get a tranny temp guage for sure then.
Just to make sure its staying cool.
mount the tranny cooler infront of the rad to get the most air flow.
