After finding that the transmission cooler I now have does not keep the tranny fluid cool. I am looking at diffrent and more efficient transmission coolers. I stand in front of the car and scatch my head and wonder where does one mount a decent sized cooler. Now Im sure a lot of guys will jump in at this point and say here or there. Since my car is not quite setup like most cars I can tell you there just isnt a decent place up front to mount a good cooler. My FMIC is huge and takes up all the frontage area in front of the griffen radiator. The location the tranny cooler is in now is where the stock IC sat before. I was looking at a Tru-Cool cooler but the one I like is 11/4" X 23" by 9" and Im sure I can keep looking and find something smaller. I have this idea that is out of the box thinking. With the removal of the stock fuel tank I have (2) huge areas in that location where I could
1. Install the large cooler on the passenger side of the driveshaft and plum it forward to the tranny ports
2. Install 2 smaller coolers, one on each side of the drive shaft and plum forward to the tranny.
The distance to run the tubes back shouldnt be any greater than running them forward to a front location. The front location isnt that great for getting a straight shot of air for cooling purposes.
Opinions? I could even install a fan to cool the large cooler or one of the two smaller coolers. Running this really loose TQ Converter is generating a huge amount of heat and I want to address it now before it becomes a real problem. At this time I dont see any room up front to install something that will work
