3800 trans cooler question

[imported_1fastGTP]

i have been told 2 buy a trans cooler because it will save ur trans or keep it running longer.... but i want to make sure it works with an intercooler? and i was wondering what you guys think if its worth even putting one on? and its not like there expensive either so if it really improves the trans and works with the IC i guess its worth it?

Trans cooler will only shorten the life of your trans. The oil takes too long to get to operating temps with one on....acellerating wear. It's a must only if you are running a higher stall.

never heard of the trans cooler shortening the life of a trans.... the operating temps are with in minutes rnt they?

Nope, it takes awhile for them to warm up. Every car is different, our just doesn't need it. It was about a year or 2 ago when this was a hot topic, just boiled down to not needed. You'd be better off getting a trans temp guage to monitor temps first. If they get out of line, get a cooler. If not, sell the guage and use the money for other mods.

yeah ive heard this argument, south florida pulley hq says use it, zzp says dont, thrasher says use it, i think like ron said if u dont need dont put it on, zzp had bad experiances withthem, they said all the hoses kept either crimping or loosing and spiliing trans fluid, and then needing to fixed or towed imediatly

PFYC.com marketing! trans coolers are good for towing..or like Ron said if you have a stall converter. its like the trans interceptor thingy too.
i fell for the AIT extension. . $18 flushed down the toilet..anyone wanna buy mine?
PFYC has got great marketing techniques.
what about the 'Tornado' ..lol. "improves gas mileage and performance"
has anyone seen the recent TV commercials for this? they put two 2 liter bottles filled with water atop one another with a tornado between them to show the benefits of the swirling vortex action
save your money for other upgrades dude

my extension actully gave me a colder reading about 6 deg. on avg mine moved it and insulated the area where hte iat used to be and that was my result, i know wrapping it helps but i think if your intakes not wrapped and you move it 12-18inchs you will get a codler reading

You have a trans cooler from the factory, you don't need one.

I have been running a 3800 stall for 2 months. No trans cooler needed unless you live in the desert.

I used a small one on my 97=36K miles No failure.
Ive used one on my 2000=69K miles 3 trannies, 2 failures due to broken hard parts, clutchs lookd like Brand new.

I use a small Hayden, inline after the rad. it is between my I/C rad and engine rad.

I have a desert fox cooler in my car and was on there from when i first got the car and no problems at all. Its been 3 years and still running strong especially since i have the shift kit set at High with my DHP.
