Hey everyone. It is a hayden trans cooler. It is the biggest one they sell. The best part is that it was free with the converter purchase. Thanks Dave. I might get another one for the extra cooling (really easy to install) but it will be down the road a bit.

Actually, I have not got the car back yet. I am suppost to get it first thing in the morning. I am really interested to see how close to stock it drives. I wont do any wot till I am past the 150mile break in, but I am sure that will go by fast.

Not yet... I will sometime, actually sooner than later.

I just got the car back yesterday. I drove around the block and I noticed it wouldnt go into gear. I looked back and I all I could see was smoke. So I pulled over. I called the guy that did the install and he came over real fast. He jacked up the car, and took a look. I guess the oil line popped out from the tranny. It was locked with the clip, but it wasnt all the way on. He put it back on (this time it snapped on), and filled the tranny with oil again. It was kind of a pain, but crap happens and he was really cool about it. He was busy at the shop, and dropped what he was doing to come take a look.

Now, the car drives great. I have been driving around for a while (trying to hit that 150mile mark). No more problems. If anyone tells you that this converter drives like stock is full of bs. It does rev higher on light throttle and in reverse, but it is not a bad feeling. It is a lot smoother and feels better IMO. Shift points are really nice, because it is all smooth. It does take some getting use to. It actually feels like a a5 because you can feel the lock up. I have not gone wot... yet, but I have gave it some gas and it feels strong.

I am tuning the car sometime in the next couple of weeks.
