Thread: Roadster Pickup gets tranny cooler

Tweet

Looks like a good place to mount it.

Looking from here it looks like it would be hard for a tire tossed rock to hit it as well.

Fwiw - here's an alternative way to cool the trans.
120 square inches of skin effects radiator.

This, in conjunction with a Derale trans pan - the one with the air flow tubes running through it - keeps the T-400 plenty cool.
Only time the trans ever got warm was running the twisties up the hill to Sequoia Park.
That due to the 32's converter is a 2400 rpm stall and the converters slippage at low speeds generates heat.

High stall converters aren't all they're cracked up to be on the street.
Next time, about 1800 rpm stall.
