Tranny Cooler with a Fan?
Tranny Cooler with a Fan? I am about to put in a yank ss3600 and i need to buy a tranny cooler, and i want to know if its worth the extra moeny to get the fan. The car is my weekend fun car, that i drive on nice days in the city, and go to the track 5-6 times a year. So it will see some stop and go traffic. I already have a deep pan that adds 3 qts, and i goona get a tranny temp gauge as well. I don't want to spend the extra moeny to get a fan, but if i need to i will. Next year the car is gonna have a FLT level 5 in it if that matters.
I have a fan on my cooler.. It's not much more at all and I like the extra insurance... heat kills transmissions and if you have a performance tranny and a high stall converter that equals more heat.....
i'd say get a cooler.... it'd cost you more later on down the road to fix your tranny right????

[/IMG] If you have the radiator fans running on low when the engine
is warm then you probably don't need a trans cooler fan. I
run my low fans at a degree or two below the thermostat
pivot temp (seen at highway cruise) and the high fans a
degree or two above that. So then there is always airflow
for the cooler which sits on the front of the A/C condenser.
With stock fan settings, yeah, get a thermostatic fan type
cooler.

They are a good idea particularly if air flow is restricted.
