What kind of temps are you seeing?

My B&M 2800 cooler dropped my temps 20 - 25 degrees under most conditions. I know this because I installed a SW trans temp gauge just before hooking up the cooler.

my trans will reach 150 especially if i drive on the freeway

I wouldnt worry if it is only 150, now 250 and you have a problem.

With a 3600 stall I dropped 20-25 degrees, and with the addition of a 2nd cooler I'm down to about 35 less than with just the stock radiator cooler. With that stall you need to get a good cooler in there, heat is your tranny's worst enemy.

How are you reading that 150?

Not sure what is going on with your ride. My car sees about 160 after driving a while and 150 is pretty cool. Seems like you have something else causing your problems.

man serisously that car is the devil i am way over my head i have about 11000 in repairs to my car already i could have bought half the cars in this ls1 group for just the amount that i have in repairs in my car im super pissed

ok so i screwed up lol i have no idea what i was thinkin i put 150 but i meant 250 my tranny gets all the way to 250 degrees so if i put the tranny cooler on it then am i still going to hit 250

According to what is written on my B&M cooler box, your temperatures are just below the threshold where the fluid mutates into varnish. This is the point where component failure is immanent.

I figured it was a typo, 150 is insane with a stall and no cooler. It sounds low for not having a stall Put a good cooler in there ASAP! How long have you been running it like this?

nassaublue

umm 1600 miles or so but mostly with cold weather and its only got to 250 once i usually dont drive far and since i put in the stalli havent raced anybody so hope it aint messed up to bad i have to put alot more stuff in my car before the cooler though i still dont knwo why it wont idle

It shouldnt get to 250 on the highway even with a stall cause it should already be locked up...once its locked theres no slip thus no heat created.... are u sure it locking on the highway?

nassaublue

like on the flats of the high way it does great but going up hill it sucks man

I would flush it, and stick a big cooler on there man like everyone else is sayin. Good luck w/ it...

hey thanks man um do u knwo anything about intake gasket um i guess that is what is causing my car not to idle

The intake manifold gasket? Spray some carb cleaner around the manifold, if the motor bogs down at a certain spot, that's where the vacuum leak is.
If it's the manifold:
Take off the intake & MAF, fuel rails & injectors, unplug the wire harnesses by the coilpacks, then unfasten the 8bolts on the sides of the manifold, slip the manifold out and visually inspect the gaskets.

nassaublue

yup the intake manifold gasket i looked it up and all 8 of them come together and its only 25 bucks so i guess i will take it apart and fix that **** for the price i might as well lol
