Default A6 transmission lines

Does anyone make an adaptor or fitting to run AN fittings directly into the 6L80 trans. I want to run new lines and would rather not splice into the existing ones

Nope. You're gonna need to TIG weld your own.

I made one in an attempt to try a rear mounted cooler. The cooler location didn't work, but the adapter did.

PM me if you're still interested.

Hey Tom (HOXXOH)

After doing ProAutosports at Firebird last weekend it my A6 went to Overtemp and engine would only run at idle. I'm looking to install an aftermarket Transmission cooler so reduce the chance of this happening again

I seem to remember you put one horizontally in front of the radiator, I'm looking to do something similar, especially since I have the Eforce, its intercooler is already taking up some real estate.

Where did you get the parts especially the fittings to have this cooler run in series with existing cooler?

Steve

No fittings needed, only guts. It's independent and I slipped 3/8" tubing over the OEM tubing ends and used double hose clamps.

I'm thinking of going to series, because I have a real hard time getting the temps above 140* at the drags and I've already blocked off half of the cooler fins.
