Re: Transmission Cooling

If it is a automatic of any kind size type shape form or fashion it needs a cooler! Evil or Very Mad

I have built a lot of transmissions out of pulling trucks and tractors over the years that a burned up due to pluging the lines or just looping it.

The transmission doesn't get its heat at wide open throttle third gear at say 7000rpm. The Torque converter greats heat and a lot of it at start because it is slipping. The higher the stall speed the more heat. Then once the heat is in it it is hard to get it out of it! Also that heat however much it is or how long it stays in it bakes the seals and causes the clutch and band material to deteriorate prematurely .

Put a cooler on it!

If you do run a stacked design, just make sure you install it correctly! I have mine upside down!!!
Now that it is fixed all is good.

Since this is about cooling a C6, what temps is recommended for a C6? Is there such a thing as too cold?
