[VAC] Re: xmission coolers



Terry Tyler of this list seems to have found your answer. He's got 300k on
his original transmission, no rebuild, and he pulls 31'.  Hopefully he will
respond. 

My brother the mechanic has speculated that you could use a air conditioning
radiator as a transmission cooler. They're available cheap in junkyards, and
are bigger than any cooler you can buy for the purpose. But you need to have
the room in front of your radiator to install it.

While you're at it, have a transmission fluid temp guage installed in the
output line from the trans to the cooler, where the fluid will be hottest. I
have URLS for such if you need them.
