so yeah what would be an appropriate size for the 4t45e?

 

anything works really... in retrospect, unless you do a lot of long distance driving, im not sure one is needed. Its rare for my tranny fluid to ever reach 140*. Operating temperature is 170-190

 

Yeah, just make sure you get one rated for a car, not one of those big mothers they put on trucks.

You can actually overcool the fluid, which would definitely not be good obviously.

 

with my shift+ i can actually feel the tranny shift a good amount smother when my tranny is still a tiny bit cold.

 

it will increase shift time to help slip the clutch packs which makes heat. its a way for the transmission to try and heat up the tranny fluid, similar to idling at 1200RPMs with cold coolant

 

I think one like whats on my bro's 95' GST Eclipse auto would work great.....its not big but im thinkin that it would work for ya.....it keeps his temps down and he's always beating on that dsm piece.....lol

 

oooooooo makes sense

 

cool, i do a lot of road racing with the local tuners. just trying to help out the performance a little.

 

12" trans cooler

^^^ how does this one sound?

 

interesting, iv never seen one like that before.

 

that would work fine. to originaladrian, its a common compact design similar to our laminova cores

 

Go to Murray's Auto Discount store,they have a 12 inch tranny cooler with everything for 30 dollars.

 

Yeah really. Even autozone has them for like 30, no waiting on shipping.

 

getting it today then i love my local autozone, and i gotta wait on my hids and sportlines so i'm kinda over the shipping **** fo right now.

 

Hayden is what you're looking for then, my autozone had them.

 

i will forever love you if you could take pics of your install lol

 

yeah like how do you hook this beast up??

 

Well, it's pretty simple really. There's two lines on your transmission that lead to the radiator. One is hot that is coming out, and the other is coming from the radiator that it leading cool fluid back to the tranny.

Basically, you just cut the line coming out of the radiator, add a barbed adapter and run the hose to either side of the transmission cooler, other end comes out of the cooler, and goes to the return hose with a barbed adapter. You'll need some 5/8 hose barbed adapters and rad clamps.

 

I honestly don't know if you will notice a performance in the auto transmission shifting,but it should be a good buy regardless,also I am not sure if you ever changed your transmission fluid,but I would recommend doing that before installing the transmission cooler.

 

only thing that has been neglected on this 71k mile bitch is the rear drums. and yes i'm paying for it now. no noise or problems but they didn't wanna come off so i gotta get a new set and break these f**kers off somehow.

i want my trans to last....**** i want the damn car to last it's gonna be my dd come next year but that don't mean she won't be driven hard.

here's what i've done

trans was flushed @ 56k, radiator flushed @ 45k with new thermostat install, complete fuel system cleaning @ 60k (not the inj crap), plugs changed 3x, rotors and pads changed 2x and i just replaced that shitty ass fuel filter @ 69k and got 3mpg back.....**** gm and their 100k reccomendation on that ****.

i have only used snythetic oil...Amsoil pwns all. I love this little cobalt.

 

You should be fine then,you might have to use a sledgehammer to knock the rear drums off,I may be able to help with that,I believe my brother has a sledgehammer,I will ask him if he has one still.

 

dude, i'd be in your debt. i got sporlines and a hid kit coming tomorrow. sooooooo...how's yer schedule looking?

 

well,I have work in the morning 9:30 until 12pm actually for the entire week until I go back to my regular schedule next week,weekends I am off still.

 

oh, i'm sorry i didn't mean right away. i was all excited about finally getting my bad strut replaced.

 

oh ok,yeah just let me know when you want to take off your rear drums.
