TRANS COOLERS ARE ON FACTORY VEHICLES TO WARM TRANS FLUID AND HEAT THE TRANSMISSIONS TO OPERATING TEMPS, NOT COOL IT OFF.
IMAGINE A CAR UP NOTRTH WHEN IT'S 10 BELOW FREEZING OR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IN COLD WEATHER, YOU HAVE TO HEAT THE TRANSMISSIONS UP SOME WAY!
MODERN DAY RADIATOR TEMPS NOW RUN IN THE 220-240 RANGE, HOW WOULD THAT BE "COOLING"??? I WOULD SAY A NON COOLED FACTORY TRANS WOULD RUN IN THE HIGH 100 DEGREE RANGE TOPS.
YEARS BACK I DID A TEST - I NEVER RUN A TRANS COOLER, JUST ANOTEHR PLACE FOR A LEAK. IF YOU STILL USE RUBBER HOSE TO A COOLER YOUR JUST LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HIT THE WALL.
WITH A 355 CHEVY AND 5500 STALL CONVERTOR,I DID A TEST IN MY OLD SHOP. I STOOD 'ER ON THE T BRAKE AND LAUNCHED , BACKED UP AND LAUNCHED HER AGIN. I WOULD STOP AND CHECK THE THE CONVERTOR TEMP EVERY 2 OR 3 LAUNCHES, WHEN I GOT TO 8 LAUNCHES IN A ROW WITH NO COOL DOWN, THE CONVERTOR TEMP FINALLY GOT TO 230 DEGREES. I STOPPED THE TEST, I RAN OUT OF GAS AND OUT OF TIME.
I DON'T USE A TRANS COOLER/WARMER. LIKE THE GUY SAID IN A 4 OR 5 SEC PASS YOU NOT GONNA GET NO COOLING ANYWAY.
IF WE WERE AT THE TRACK TODAY YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE REAR OF THE CAR ON JACK STANDS AND RUN IN THE TRANS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES... STOPPING AND GETTING ON THE TRANS BREAK SEVERAL TIMES UP TO ABOUT 3,000 RPMS TO GET SOME HEAT IN THE TRANS.
ONE OTEHR THING YOUR DOING IS WARMING UP THAT RING AND PINION!IN COLD WEATHER, I'D SAY ANYHING UNDER 45 DEGREES OR SO JACK UP THE REAR OF THE CAR AND PUT SOME HEAT IN THE REAR END OR YOU STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF SNAPPING THE RING GEAR!!!
IF WE WERE AT THE MLK RACE TODAY YOU WOULD SEE NO LESS THAN 3 BROKE REARS AT THE LINE AND COULD BE UP TO 5 BROKE REAR ends before the day is over.. seen it too many times, it's a fact!!
