oil cooler thermostat removal?
 

Has any one removed the thermostat in the oil cooler or the tranny cooler? Is it difficult? Possible?
Thanks, mike

Yes I searched

If I remember correctly, that's a very bad idea. it won't allow the oil to get up to operation temperature. I think I remember seeing someone that took it out and replaced it with a washer with a small inner diameter. some of the gurus could tell you for sure though.

tranny cooler????

Maybe he is referring to the A/C cooler?

The automatics have a tranny cooler.

Sounds about right to me. The tranny cooler is ran through the radiator to warm it up and through another separate cooler to cool it down. If you have/buy a aftermarket radiator you need to attach something to the radiator to keep it at a steady temperature.

I've been a little busy ;). OK I'm not concerned with wether it is a good idea since I'm using the unneeded auto tranny cooler (Swapped to 5speed) for the PS cooler.

Anybody know how to do this or exactly how the spring works as a thermometer???

There is a bimetal portion contained by the spring. As it heats up, it expands against the spring and allows flow through the cooler. If you can access it, you can remove it with no problems.
