UPDATE on Trans cooler...
Remember I posted this pic when I added the B&M cooler, but my tranny temps stayed the same as before it was installed?
Well, today, when I was at the dealer to get new seals etc, on the rear, we removed the filter element in the Moroso unit. I tried to blow thru it, and could just barely, with my cheeks puffed out...
Since it was clogged, we left it out and deceided to just use the Moroso tube unit as just an additional heat sink cooler.
Last week, outside temps were about 45, and my tranny temp was 163, pretty good, but remember, it was 163 before & after the B&M cooler was installed.
Today, it was 20 degrees warmer, about 65 outside, and the tranny temp ws DOWN 12 degrees to 151.
So, I think once on the open road, or while racing, my tranny temps will be cool and hopefully the tranny will provide long lasting service with fast crisp shifts...
Here is a catalog pic of the filter element that was removed (not the actual one from my unit...)... Its a preforated metal tube with a paper filter in it, and a quarter sized magnet on one side..
