38824, Good A/T Cooler for Turbo'd car?
Posted by Hektik_98TalonESi, Feb-09-03 11:27 AM
Anyone know of a good auto-tranny cooler that'll work well with a turbo'd 420a. I checked out Corbin's site and he says it's highly recommended you should get one if ya plan on getting ur car turbo'd. Thanks for feedback, Hektik. :thumbsup

I came across this one when I researched tranny coolers a couple of weeks ago. I have an A/T too. It seems like it'd be the right size for our weight cars. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I think that one might be a little tough to mount. It might be alright though.

Here is the one I have.

I think this one would be nice too.

When I get some boost I think I'm gonna go with this combination oil/tranny cooler.

Those ones are great choices. The B&M SuperCoolers are nice and work well. I have the Racing model and it's overkill for a stock tranny on a boosted engine. I have a 3500 stall and other transmission mods and it almost keeps the fluid too cool. It is a bad thing for the fluid to be too cool. Also, for that reason, you should use an aftermarket cooler in series BEFORE the stock tranny cooler.

All I have is the final drive mod for my tranny. I have to cooler after the rad. cooler. What happens when your fluid is to cool? I plan on building that bastard up but I wanna be nice to it until then.

Hey Dirty..
I know someone is going to say, you should use PMs, but I know alot of people (such as me), don't always check PMs all the time.. soo..

Can you post up some more pics of your car?
I like the interior with those switches..
Just curious.. what are they for?
Thanks

Nice ride..

When the transmission fluid is colder, the pump has to work harder. This is bad and *may* decrease the life of the pump slightly. Using ATF+4 is another solution, it's a thinner synthetic fluid.

You'll find that different mechanics have different opinions about it, and this is my opinion and it's how mine is installed.

Thanx for that info Dougie. :thumbsup

Tacoman, go to this shitty site for more (really old) pictures. I need to update. Things just don't look right. Lots of that stuff doesn't exist anymore.
