Hey all,
so it's become obvious to me that I need a transmission cooler set up. With 330 hp and using a 901 box, it's going to start destroying gears (already did this past weekend at Road Atlanta). So, what is everyone using and how are they set up? What pump & cooler? are you using a resevior/tank? Where is the cooler mounted? and where are you getting the oil in and out of the trans? As you can see, I'm a complete newbie about this, need to educate and do as quickly as possible...I'm running out of transmissions! Pictures would be wonderful... thanks!! |

Progress Pictures!!
So we decided on the very simple approach: pull oil out of the drain plug, through a scavange filter, through the pump, into the cooler, then back in at one point only, right above the R&P. Simple and hopefully effective. Pump is mounted in rear trunk. Cooler is mounted at 45* at the rear bumper, hole cut for pass-through cooling. the third tap in the case is to extend the vent into the trunk for a catch can or just a filter...not decided on that yet. Obviously still have to grommet the holes, run the power wire, finish mounting everything, etc. this is just the mock-up. HOPE to have all that done this weekend. Sorry for the picture quality, did it with the iPhone quickly last night... |
