i've searched and see you need a pump to do this, has anyone done it ..what parts did you use, an auto cooler i assume with some fittings, braided lines?
what pump, anyone put a temp sensor in their manual?
14.82 @ 97 mph
why would you want to do this? words cant explain how unnessesary this is.
it could be necessary for a lot of applications. i'm looking for information not jbo sarcasm.
14.82 @ 97 mph
whats your application? drag racing? street driving? your trans isnt going to create any heat that will adversly affect it. the only reason an automatic trans has a cooler is because of the torque converter which creates all the heat in the trans. sorry for the sarcasm, noone in my trans shop can figure out why you would want a cooler thats all.

Exactly.
Also, an automatic transmission doesn't even really experience critical heat temperatures unless they are putting down alot of power.
Jason, you don't need to worry about your transmission temperatures and you don't need a cooler. I wouldn't even put a cooler on a car unless I had a gauge and I knew specifically how hot my transmission was getting.

not true
i had a impala rental car , and the aeroforce scan gauge in it for the hell of it , and the trans temp hit as high as 255 just going up a incline , that wasnt even that big
and my 00 has hit 230 during the summer , before i put the s/c on it
only thing i can see for doing this would be road racing , and wanting to control the temp of the trans during the race
has any done , around here no
race car teams , most likely , i know alot of nascar teams run trans cooler and rear end coolers , and alot of the series that do alot of racing

Actually, I was being more direct torwards j-bodies...I for one am not greatly knowledgable in transmissions with other vehicles. That's why I backed it up with saying that if someone wanted a transmission cooler, they should get a guage and see if they are even running hot.
By the way...you almost owned me LOL

Maybe for endurance racing? I don't know. I've seen it done before but only with extreme applications. I don't think you are going to be going fast enough, long enough to need to cool a manual transmission.
Automatics are an entirely different monster. Heat KILLS autos. The fluid is also pumped through the system... meaning it is already preasurized for you to add an aftermarket cooler. The one in your stock radiator isn't good for much.

How would you do it? You would need a pump to move the gear oil. In a manual trans, the oil just sits in the pan and is flung around by the gears, whereas an auto has the torque converter (pump) to provide pressure and fluid transfer. I think you need to do some more reasearch on how manual transmissions operate versus auto transmissions.

The pump and tq convertor are two different things.
auto trans.... def a need, especially if you get it rebuilt, higher stall, valve b-job, etc.... more pressure more heat.
manual.... no pressure in the trans, so unless you are drifting, and even then with cars putting down well over 4-500HP, its rarely needed unless you are doing extreme running, like in the desert..
but if you want to, dont be skeered to do a little trial and error.

I know. I was just trying to keep the theory simple.
the tq converter does drive the pupm in the auto trans
