I have a 240sx with an LS1 and a Auto 4L60e gearbox on it... and Im kinda confused on which oil cooler I should install...

My first option is a cooler with a Fan, due to some reasons, first I live in the middle east, and temperatures are high here... second is because I race alot, and I know that the 4l60e has alot of heat issues that cause it to break down fast...

My second option is a normal cooler without a Fan, would this be enough for my application? I mean I was thinking that my car is actually light in weight so this will cause less need of a cooler with a fan...

So I'm stuck here and I need help, I will give u more info below:

Cooler with fan shipped to Beirut, Lebanon = 230$
Cooler without fan = 100$

Which one should I go with...

Thanks

 

I have a Hayden Rapidcool from Advanced Auto. Its a large cooler meant for cooling motor homes and costs ~$50.

Its always a good idea to have a transmission temp gauge to keep an eye on things and if a regular cooler isn't enough you could upgrade.

 

How much does a transmission temp guage cost?

I need more replies from people with regular transmission coolers without a fan... did you ever consider going with a cooler that has a fan because the normal one isn't doing the job good enough?!

Thanks

 

What does GVW? on coolers mean? it says 25,000 on the cooler with the fan, what does that mean?
