Any tips for lowering tranny temp
I have a th400 with a PTC 3800 converter and a Perma Cool 10x15.5 cooler in front of the radiator. My problem is when I have been driving for more than 20 min. and get into slower traffic/stop and go. As long as I am driving at highway speed it stays at 180. But in slower traffic it is creeping over 200. Will a fan on the cooler help enough or should I change to a pan with a extra quart capacity as well? Any other tips?

I had high temps with a 4000+ TC, but I also had trans. problems. I havent used it yet, but I got the Permacool w/ fan, and hope it helps. I'm installing a Performabuilt lvl 2 this weekend, so I'll post up temps soon...

Are you using the radiator built in cooler also? If so, are you running your cooler before or after the radiator cooler? After radiator cooler I hope.
A fan on the cooler will help as it will push air through at the slower traffic when airflow is slow. If that is not enough, get a deeper pan also; an aluminum pan will help even more.

I just bought another cooler.. Now im running an 18,000 and a 24,000 without a fan it never goes about 180 even in traffic or beating the hell out of it. One of the best mods ive done.
