Stall speed vert requires a cooler ?
Stall speed vert requires a cooler ? Hi, was wonder if anyone would mind confirming what I was recently told.
I am being told that since I installed a stall in my A4 that I need to install an external oil cooler for the trans.....and if this is indeed correct... is there a particular brand thats preferred ?? Local speed shop and NAPA has Hayden in stock.. 11 x 5 1/2 in. Any and all thoughts are welcome.
Lastly, I am not overly mechanically inclined, I can do simple stuff, alternator, starter, wheel bearings and so forth, is this somethat requires a higher degree of skill ? It doesn't look it, but that can be decieving.
Thanks !!

You absolutely need to put an external cooler on ASAP!! Heat is the #1 killer of automatic transmissions and aftermarket stalls build a lot of heat. Do a search in this section on tranny coolers, this topic has been covered in-depth many times. You'll find lots of information on which cooler you want (the majority on here run a B&M 24000gvw rated cooler) and there's also a few writeups on different ways to install them, all of which are very simple and straightforward.

wow, you put a stall in your tranny with no cooler? i wouldn't drive that car another MILE unless it was straight to the shop and i'd hobble the whole way there like a 90 year old lady. as jmm98LS1 said, heat is the #1 killer of the 4L60E. after that, i'm gonna say RPM's and power.
i can't believe you put in a stall without a cooler! they're only like $45-$50
if i was your tranny guy, i wouldn't have put it in without a cooler. get the BIGGEST one you can. B&M makes a good one.

Thanks guys, apreciate the advice. Funny that neither of the "tuners" I talked to mentioned that at all when discussing stalls....

Yessir, it's already ordered for Friday, and yeah, after reading a bit with "search" I went B&M. ( both available, similar cost) Simply cause I am gonna mount "dope style"
