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!! |

Bob,
Is that sealant of some type oozing out between the intermediate plate and the case? You should only use paper seals there. I know that adding a sealant might help prevent leaks, but it is not going to let you set pinon depth accurately. You can use a sealant between the intermediate plate and the end cover (I use paper + a thin layer of Curil-T). I don't have problems with leakage on the differential side cover (that o-ring seems to work fine). I use Hondabond on things like the breather and clutch pivot ball (where it threads into the case). Keep us posted on how the cooling system works out! Richard |
