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!! |

It's obvious that transmission cooling is a hot topic (pun intended) because there are so many threads on it.
Wasnt sure which thread I updated on our progress/finish (or if I did at all), but there is info on our facebook page www.facebook.com/naroescapemotorsports So, everything is installed and was run this past weekend at CMP. NOTE: We learned that if you install a cooler/pump, you MUST run it! You need to fill the case higher than normal to allow for the capacity of the pump, cooler and lines, so if you don't run the pump, the case is technically overfilled. We had quite a bit of oil spurting out through the vent hose and filter when we forgot to turn it on! oops. Was also told that using synthetic will help with that as they foam up less. We'll try that. Finished pictures: (sorry they're not clear, did them with the phone) |
