Thread: Transmission Cooler - Heat Sink Type Do these work?

If I were running a drag car this is the kind I would install, as they tend to really get hot from hi stall convertors and hard usage.

I have babied my Tranny from day one, in the summer the Rad boiled over (from the tranny)...I have since installed a cooler infront of the rad, and still looped into the rads cooler lines...temps are still 195, that is babying the vehicle, as soon as I get rough with her, she gets hot....fast...
I want to bypass the Rad all together and get, what I see in your post, and fan driven cooler that is mountable anywhere, I have been so programmed to thinking that things have to be the way they were engineered, i.e., factory... You guys have beautiful vehicles, and have great ideas and improvising techniques...really gets me thinking...also I like the SPDT Switch, but I would incorporate another Gauge, and install the Sending Unit into a manifold, at the OUT-PUT of the Tranny Cooler Line and one at the IN-PUT and switch back and forth, or just use both guages to monitor how effective the cooling is...
I love this fan though... where do you buy them? or what brand is that one?

If your looking for a Fan assisted cooler Spal do fans from 4" diameter up, also you will find small fans on most motorcycles/mopeds etc
Also 12V Computer fans are used a lot as they consume very little power.

This is the setup on my 32 roadster, inside the scoop there are 2 x 5" PC fans on a 5" x 14" matrix which are switched on when the trans reaches 180F, i've not seen it go over 180F yet.
