sweet as lads, cheers for the replys I thinkI'll go the same one as ari's. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bump is what airbagsvl correct?... i would like to no b4 i go driven so i dont funk up another auto... lol

yep, check it in park while hot. It wont take much more fluid even with a big cooler, prob 500ml.....

sweetoss thanks stevo

derale tranny coolers are up there. made in usa which equals good quality and good price (with the dollar where it is atm), and have been proven in a number of high hp cars. only $120 or so from rare spares for one thats almost as big as ur radiator

I run a single 11.5" B&M cooler (the largest core without a fan I think - it's bloody thick) with my transbraked C4 and I've never seen temps higher than 190F. It cruises at 4200rpm on the freeway at 165F. It is mounted right at the very front of the engine bay facing forwards though. Where you mount it makes a big difference and remember that if you're running long lines and a big cooler to check the fluid level again once you've installed it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've got one identical too SOHC2 and it says LONG made in china instead of b&m is this normal "ie do they buy them and just sell them off as b&m. And will this be enough for a glide with a 3500 converter with transbreak?

Bump anyone know anything about these trans coolers post #29 ??

My question is on a trans cooler dose it matter what way u install the lines or is there a in and outlet ? Reason i ask is i just installed one and now i have no drive ect ?

it's the same I ended up going for the DERALE 12"x17" as you can see its huge. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

but would it block flow to the cooler?

not enough to worry about it, im running water injection anyway so it won't matter.

k. what size is your cooler?

More important,i would have thought it would pass heat to the intercooler,as the auto fluid will run hotter than intake temps i would think ? Also if you look at the radiator,the tranny cooler could end up a bit far away from the thermo fan to be very affective when stationary ? The auto will love it on cruise tho ,prime position ! Nice Paint BTW, love the Blue,and are they alloy bonnet struts i see ? MT

It looks like the heat exchanger unit off the back of a fridge Bradley. Boom I wouldn't worry too much about the flow of air through that cooler. That's a Plazmaman cooler and even with it covered like that it will still outflow and outcool the cheap, Chinese intercoolers used on 99% of VLTs on the road. Brad are you running the transmission lines through the radiator and then through the trans cooler as well? I know Stoney did this on his ute and it seemed to work very well

Nah, keas advise against it incase the radiator cracks and you get water in the transmission. It's a very expensive box so I want to look after it.
