As most on here know I will be going turbo in the future, and as I have a automatic tranny, which cooler and size is best to use..

I have been looking at some of the B&M ones and they range from size and finishes..

Whats a tranny cooler that you would recommend??

Ive seen the coolers range from 40-300 dollars, and I want a quality one. Is there a certain size thats best or is it one size fits all kind of thing??

i have the 3rd one down

 

27.44 dollars, wow that is very inexpensive.. I read somewhere how to hook it up, cant remember, it is hard to do.. Hoping i dont have to drain tranny fluid as I see the two barbs on the left side.

Thanks for showing me that

 

$50 for a permacool tranny cooler off summit thats what im running

 

do not use a tube and fin cooler on these cars. these coolers were designed back in the 60s. back then, a transmission didnt need some heat to work correctly. today, with our full electronic transmissions with pulse width modulated lockup, the transmission needs to get to operating temp to be efficient and to last. what you need is a stackerd plate cooler, like a Tru-cool. as the oil heats up it becomes thinner. these coolers have orfices in them to only allow cold fluid through the lower part of the cooler. as the fluid heats up, it gets thinner and goes through the small orfices using the whole cooler. this is whats called a self regulating cooler

Is that it??

I am having a little bit of trouble understanding what you mean, I am not to smart with how these coolers work and your explanation sounds great..but.. confuses the crap out of me lol..

if that isnt what your talking about, care to show a link for a product or so because i have no clue what your talking about..

that is the type of cooler you want. its called a stacked plate cooler. its designed so it only uses the area of the cooler required to keep your transmission at the correct operating tempeture, and doesnt allow it to be overcooled

 

does it matter which one i get, or is the 50 dollar one just fine??
Automatic Transmission Cooler
16,000 GVW
9,800 BTU
11'' x 5-3/4'' x 3/4''


thats the 50 dollar one.. also are these hard to bolt up?? have to drain tranny fluid??


EDIT: so i have to buy hoses?? if so id by the 100ish dollar ones.. which one is the one to get..

 

the $50 cooler is fine. they arent hard to bolt up with some creativity. you wont need to drain the fluid.

 

I had a $50 B&M SuperCooler on my Camaro. It worked just fine.

 

Ooo ok thanks guys, b&m supercooler it is
