Transmission Coolers

[MiKa]

Ok im gonna up the power fairly soon and thought I'd invest in a tranny cooler for the 4sp, what I wanna know is,

What brand to get?

I've heard B&M are the best brand but they dont come with lines, and are expensive. Seen a PWR one on Ebay, it measures 280x200x19 for $130...

Is that big enough?

What size do you have?

Where did you get it from?

How much was it?

Where is the best place to mount it? I will have a wog cooler.

BTW tried the search but it only came up with tranny coolers for a 6sp auto

Cheers Mike

I'm running the larger PWR cooler. The big square one. Haven't had any problems yet....

I by-passed the radiator...

Is it this one? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/automatic-transmiss...1QQcmdZViewItem

This one says its for our cars so.....

Basically, use the biggest that will fit in the chosen area.

I know of Turbo falcons (not just BA/BF, but same deal) that run twin 300mm x 300mm, one on each side with a thermofan on each.

There's no set "must have size" but you will need a decent sized cooler... and not the slim type that "Joe's garage" puts on for a tow car.

If u r genuinely concerned u will fit a temp guage that will tell u if whichever cooler u end up fitting is adequate or not, nobody can tell u what is enuf or not, cause it depends on how when and where u drive, a guage will however keep u informed at all times, DO NOT MOUNT A CAPIILARY GUAGE INSIDE THE CABIN.

I dont plan on putting another guage in the cabin, and I am only genuinely concerned enuf to put a tranny cooler on.. Im just after some ideas on what other people have fitted so as I have a rough idea on what to get and a rough size of what im able to fit..

I just saw that I spelt transmission wrong so the search had alot more answers this time round.. I like hiddeous' setup with the cooler mounted infront of the drivers wheel.. Now just need to find a cooler that will fit that position..

I think the PWR cooler I linked up in a previous post would fit.. But I think he fabbed up his own mounts so that's gonna be a pain...

I think the majority of people are running the tranny cooler on its own without the radiator one, so im gonna head down that path to..

Anymore options on coolers guys??
