FWIW i first changed the by-pass thermostat and months later added the aux cooler and have noticed virtually no temp drops since. seems to keep it from heating up as fast as it did before The cooler but still reaches the same peak temps.polskifacet said:
it helped. however i was hoping adding the aux cooler would keep the trans temps below 200* most days of the year and it's close but usually runs in the upper 190s and it's not that hot here yet. ideally i'd like to stick around 180ish. going to replace fluid with amsoil at some point and go from there.SHOdded said:
Based on my looking at trans temps, I can never get past 150 on the 30 minute drive to work. Highway heats it up more than city driving from what I have seen. 200 is pretty much the higher end of normal operating temp.Colorado-SHOBro said:
yeah i'm not sure why my results are seemingly different from what others with the aux cooler report. by no means does having 200* trans temps make me nervous or anything(before the t stat i saw 215-220) but 180ish is my preference.polskifacet said:
That crossed my mind briefly but not sure how one would logically conclude that lower air density/altitude would cause fluid temps to rise(Then again i'm no physicist). I'm sure there could be some science to it but i've never experienced that in any previous platforms at the same altitude and if there were some correlation i would think it would be somewhat of a known fact in the automotive performance community up here.SHOdded said:
just use the @ symbol. IE.. @polskifacetDoes anyone have links to these members posts of transmission cooler setups? I can't seem to find them maybe I just don't know how thanks.Ta2dResqr said:
