Trans temp and coolers
 
hey all, yes, i got my car back on the road and shes runnin beautifully, just have a oil leak and inspection thing to take care of.

also, i have a stage 4 trans in there now with all docs. now, the temp after driving around for 10 mins gets to 230-240 and keeps going up, it has a trans cooler on the front i forget what size but i do still have the box, but it doesnt have a fan. now should i get a new cooler or should i gett a fan to go on the cooler? i do still have the coolant going through the stock trans cooler in the radiator, but should i bypass that with a bigger trans cooler or should i keep using both and stick a fan on there, or should i jsut get a new cooler?

all comments would be helpful. thanks !

Wow, that's very hot. Are you sure everything is OK with the trans, and that the cooler is hooked up properly?

GrandmasterCow 09-28-2007 11:18 PM

yeah the cooler hasn't been disconnected since installation a year ago, this trans is fresh, now i'm not sure if the tuning can have anything to do with it has i haven't touched trnasmission, but yeah i don't know why the guage is saying it's so hot.

what size is the converter? Where is the cooler located?

he may have changed the exhaust location as well --10 min and 230 something else is influencing it - jz

3000 lockup stall and the cooler is located in front of the radiator, behind the brackets for the fmic

take it out of that test port and put it in the pan.
