Default C6 Z06 differential cooler delete for C5

Was just curious if anyone knew if these two lines coming from the tranny are for the diff cooling and if so can I just plug them.






Also, can I just take the rear diff cover off and replace it with a non Z06 cover with no problems? Will it bolt right up?

the line on the trans is for the trans cooler, you can loop them or install a cooler... I chose to loop mine for now and made a line using -6an hose, the fittings in the trans are -6orb



to remove the diff cooler you can use a c5 rear cover and you will need two -6orb plugs, one for the driver side of the case and one for the bottom of the case that you will use to drain the fluid

When I spent the money on a tr6060...and the Z06 diff...I felt the urge to utilize the built in coolers,...just added heat exchangers. All that money invested...figured another 150-200 bucks to make it all work.....was a cheap insurance policy. I think everyone I see chooses not to use the coolers...other than the small added cost,...why don't people use them? Typically an external cooler will drop 30 or more degrees.

I felt the same way. Everyone I talked to who had done the swap eliminated the coolers. I felt like it was crazy not to utilize the built in pumps you get with the swap, so I put in Setrab coolers and made up my own hoses.

Do you guys have any pictures you could share of the cooling setups you made, or part numbers? Thanks!

If I remember I will take a shot of the diff cooler I made for my TR6060 swap. The trans cooler line is just looped on mine currently until I find somewhere I like to mount a trans cooler.
