Thread: Can I run w/o trans oil going into radiator???

Tweet

Dave,

Do you think that would work with a 700/R4? They seem to generate a lot of heat.

Right now, I have a dropped pan with cooling tubes and a cooling coil in front of the radiator. I have a switch on my temp gauge so I can read either water temp or trans fluid temp in the pan. Right now, my trans temp almost never even moves the temp gauge off the peg.

Almost sounds like the trans is running too cool - if that's possible. But - have you really run the car in the heat of summer yet and in a line of traffic??

If you are on a budget look at the external cooler from 90s Ford F and E series.
