Second Tranny Cooler
 
Car is an automatic and thinking of adding a second transmission cooler. Anyone have this mod?

I have a mocal cooler and duct waiting to be installed. I'm going to do it when my car is appart next month to convert to non sequential turbos. I'm also doing it so that I can put any radiator in without worrying about the AT part of the radiator ( if you've noticed, the ATF lines run into the radiator)

looking forward to his new 2 car oversized garage :)

Why would you need a second trans oil cooler? And, where would you put the second cooler since there isn't any opening in the front end?

I'm replacing the stock cooler with the mocal unit. Since the car will see more track time this year, I decided to get the crooked willow dual oil cooler kit, and use one to replace the stock oil cooler, and the other to replace the tranny cooler.

There is really no need for upgrading the ATF cooler, if you change the fluid every 5K miles or so it's good insurance. If your tranny is overheating, check your atf. Every trouble shooting guide starts with the ATF.

There is some trick to tell if the ATF needs changing by the smell, but I can't remember what it was ( I think it smells burnt).
