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!! |

Looks good and simple. Do I remember that you're taking temps at the speedo hole or am I confusing that with another build? You'll have to let us know the temp deltas when you take them. To the fluid...
I've used Mobil-1 and Amzoil both with no measurable difference in either R&P or synchro/dogtooth wear. I'd use LE (Lubrication Engineers) except that I have to buy 5 gallons at a time. About 730... I don't think paper gaskets and 730 are mutually exclusive, but I've never used it on a transaxle before. I've used it for years and yep, they're proud of it at about $34/oz. but I don't know anything that works better. If I've done my surface prep right I don't usually have issues with anywhere except the occasional axle-flange seal seepage. Especially since cutting the second o-ring groove into the speedo housing/plug. The only thing I don't like about 730 is cleanup during a rebuild... tenacious stuff that. |
