Tranmission Coolers

Bobbo3234 · Dec 31, 2008

What is everyone's preferences on tranmission coolers. I have read that I should be as big as I can fit. I am working on determining where I can mount and how large I can go.

I have seen a few options that are constructed out of the extruded alumimum as compared to a standard radiator contruction. Does any one have any experiences with this type?

FYI - I have a 700r4, 2000RPM stall, manual valve body

That will not cool enough. You need a stacked plate style with its own fan.

I run this

Tranny temp measured in the pan doesnt get over 170.

Ditto on what Johnathon said, the cooler you show would barely work well for full hydro steering

That is output, Before the cooler. I am going to add a small gague to monitor return temps. This is after attacking any hill for more than 10 minutes at about 4 grand..with the 2400 stall convertor.

That's still high, even coming out of the tranny.

The C6 I had mounted to the built 390 in the old tow rig didn't get that hot towing the Jeep over the pass. I had the temp sensor mounted in the output to the cooler as well.
