| Transmission Coolers
Anyone know any stores in Vancouver that carry external trans coolers for a decent price. Lordco? Etc.
[Coolers rated for just regular cars, sedans, etc]
I tried the junkyard, and....nothing.

Any parts store will carry them. You just need to decide on how much room you have to mount one. Get the biggest one that fits and make sure you connect it in series with your rad.

Mine came with my SC as a package when bought, works pretty well when installed and suppose to maintain tranny for long run.
Good luck.

I got my B&M from Mopac. I didn't get the biggest one as those are rated for heavy duty trucks. http://www.bmracing.com/PRODUCTS/Coolers

Why do you think you need an auxiliary cooler? What kind of temps are you running right now? Most trans coolers are rated for the amount of temperature drop you need... best to know that kind of stuff instead of just running the biggest one you can fit. Running it too cold will help gum up the transmission...

Not if you run a Remote Thermostat.
If you car comes with one stock, just get one slightly bigger and run the remote thermostat.
If not, Just get any average sized one that fits. It's pointless to get the biggest one if theres no use for it.

If the oil get too hot, it has the potential to burn clutch packs and bands, possibly even burn seals.

#1 killer of transmissions is heat.
Especially if its' just stop and go traffic, the transmission fluid can get pretty hot.
Or hilly areas, et cetera.
I'm getting one because, for the added 70 dollars in cost, it's a small investment to prolong the life of the transmission.
And as a couple of members have already mentioned, don't go overboard, if you do, make sure its' remote switch, where you can control it.
Edit: As Great68 said, yeah, it's good for automatics because of the tranny's inefficiency at lower speeds.

| Transmission coolers are pretty much only for automatics.

98-05 accords, 99-03TLs should get tranny cooler's

Edit: As Great68 said, yeah, it's good for automatics because of the tranny's inefficiency at lower speeds. | Why is stop and go so bad on the tranny? i would imaging towing or racing on the track where u are constantly shifting at high rpm, thats when the fluid gets really hot. Stop and go you are constantly shifting yes, but around 2000-3000rpm Quote:

The shifting of gears generates heat, and in stop and go driving the transmission is constantly upshifting and downshifting.
You mind as well flush out the old fluid and replace it with synthetic ATF while you're at it.
I got my B&M from Jegs for about $70 with duties included.

depends on what u consider a tranny cooler.
my GS came with one, its called the lower 1inch of radiator devoted to the tranny oil only (the radiator will have 2 additional lines near or at the bottom). hence why some cars, when u go looking for a radiator replacement, it will list a "manual only" radiator.
with how big my car is, a lot of guys add an addiational tranny cooler to the system. safe measure, and good if u plan on putting out more hp's than the engine and tranny is suppose to handle.
