What is the best trans cooler? I think id like one with a fan as well! Also what temp guages are you guys running?

 

Setrab/Mocal plate styles dissipate the most heat for their size, they are not cheap but neither are most of the transmissions on here..

 

Links?

 

?? Anyone? I think i would like a fan with one of them too

 

I am rolling with a hayden 11x11 plate style cooler with no cooling fans. I had it mounted in front of the condenser at an angle with some brackets that keep it about an inch in front of the condenser.. running a trans temp gauge in the pressure port and i have never seen over 180 degrees.. it took hot lapping at the track on a 70 degree day to hit that.. i also run a truck pan thatz 1 qt deeper for added fluid.. bypassed the factor cooler also.. sorry i dont have any part numbers..

 

Found it.. hayden 679 cooler.. much cheaper than B&M and gets the job done..

 

B&m 70274 here with no cooling fan. Trans temp never get out of the 140's street driving. 17x's at the strip.

 

Thanks guys!

 

B&M 70266 mounted where a/c condenser used to be. Spaced about 1/2 in. off radiator with no fan.

Bypass stock radiator cooler.

Street driving temps stay around 140-145 degrees.
Highest temp I have hit was 179 degrees on my tenth path on a road course

 

Same temps city driving with the hayden.. 140s.. it took 3 or 4 passes and waiting in line at the track to hit 180. Get the deeper pan also though.. you could get away with a smaller cooler with a 3200-3600 stall but go big with a 4k stall

 

I've got an unknown manufacturer 12x12 cooler mounted under the front bumper in the area where the airflow is directed up to the radiator. I've noticed that in cold weather (currently around 32F most nights) the transmission temperature never gets above 90F on the outlet of the cooler. Inlet is 140-150 F. Is the cooler cooling too much?

 

I have a Flex-a-lite 4120 mounted behind the fog light hole with no fan. I can put my hand on the cooler after hard runs ands cooler then the radiator hoses. I am guessing 140-150.

 

Whats the typical cost to have a trans tenp guage installed?

 

It's pretty easy if you want to do it yourself.

$60 digital gauge.
$5 drain fitting
$5 fuse tap

 

I have the Tru-Cool H7B which is the same as the B&M 70274 with -6an braided lines. I use an Aeroforce scan gauge to read temps.
