Aux trans heat exchanger removal

i second that it looks cleaner than a brand new one

I relocated mine to the driver's side of the transmission and installed a fluid filter while I was at it.

- I also installed a quarter-turn ball-valve to turn off the engine coolant when racing.

It's a close fit, but it works.

I then whittled on some more stop sign aluminum and made a bracket . .

It holds this cooler .. . .

Just behind the heat exchanger/filter . .

Hey Ryan, Do you still have the cooler? I would like to get it from you if you do.

Thanks

[wtfd6]

Oh well thanks anyway. :Cheer:

the heat exchanger does nothing for cooling. it is to warm the trans faster in cold weather. hard to cool a 150* trans with a 190* coolant!

So what happens when you tow a heavy load and your transmission becomes hotter than your engine? I have seen quite a few trucks run 25* hotter without the heat exchanger on them. It has a dual function and they do help with the cooling.

If your trans is @ 225*+ you need a better cooler. The factory unit was marginal at best, thats why most all aftermarket trans require a better one.
