i too am running a perma cool cooler.

 

You removed you washer tank i take it. Was there anything else you removed. At this point i figure just run lit through the aftermarket cooler only, now fan or no fan and what size of cooler would be appropiote for me, the car is only driven in the summer (nice days, saturdays, sundays), and i from mn so it doen'st get too hot up here in the summer. I just trying to get the best setup possible like everyone else.

 

I did not remove anything.

 

yo theres a huge difrence in between fined and others..... talking enough that they realy dont even cool better than the stock cooler.... this is the way to go

No thanks on that crappy cooler.

 

i had to remove the washer bottle and that was it

 

My tranny temps stayed around 210 with that cooler and a 3500 stall. Now that i have a 4400 stall and my new cooler the temps stay between 150 and 180 now

 

I have this one and it works perfectly, keeping mine down around 140-150 on drives and only hit 170 after repeated pounding on DR's...

just found this, one of many charts around...

 

my temp with that cooler with a 3500 stall is around 160.... soooooo dont know what to tell you....

 

the chart also works backwards, with different symptoms of course. 175 is the optimum temp for a trans to operate at.

 

yes fin types do cool better than stock coolers... the one you posted is 10 times the size of a stock cooler. so DUH its gonna cool better.

stock coolers are TINY to say the least.

 

I run this bad boy. This is just for illustration purposes. This link belongs to a non sponsor.

thats a very nice setup. that would be great for a trans cooler and oil cooler for my LC2.

 

did I need another thing to think about? thanks... why is this? When I spoke to the Trans "Gurus" I know they all said the same thing.. the cooler the better...regardless..

 

running it colder is not as bad as running it hot, but the colder the fluid is, the more soupy it is, makes it a lot thicker. Also if the fluid is not fully up to temp, then the detergents and other additives in the fluid wont take full affect.

i test valve bodies and solenoids on a solx machine. i have seen different readings when the fluid is cold and when it is warmed up.
