2016 secondary automatic transmission cooler available for '14 Z51?
Hi Guys,
I love my '14 Stingray Z51, but I would like to find a cure for the automatic transmission overheating issue that it's always present on our cars while at the track. I read that GM developed a secondary transmission cooler for the '16 automatics. Where can I get it? Also I would like to know if by installing this GM product on my '14 Stingray Z51 A6 transmission that I wouldn't lose my Powertrain warranty. Only the overheating issue of my C7 keeps me from enjoying 100% of my sport car. Come on GM give us a hand.

Nope. They promised a kit, never delivered. Your only choice is to do aftermarket and void the powertrain warranty or buy a different car. Even putting the '16 GM parts on would void the warranty (I asked).
"Come on GM give us a hand." .... No, all you get is the middle finger.

GM should be more clear on their publicity toward it's customers and to mention that the only Corvette sport cars are the manual transmission ones that could stand a track day and all automatic transmission Stingrays are just tour purpose cars. Why selling us a Z51 track package automatic which is not going to be able to perform at the track because transmission overheating issues, this was only marketing B.S. just to sell more vehicles. The Camaro engineering team was more straightforward by letting know their customers that the Camaro SS 1LE came only in manual transmission for track purpose. This was a more honest and ethical approach toward their customers.

They were clear. They took us to the track, let us drive the car on the track, both auto and manuals, and said the car is track ready from the factory and track us is covered by the warranty. They also say the same about ALL V8 powered Camaros.
Its called false advertising, product misrepresentation, fraud, etc... Pick your terms. That's why there's a class action suit against the Z06. There really should also be one for 2014 and 2015 Z51 cars with automatic transmissions.

I have a 16 Z51 pack, I changed to the Z06 grille and noticed a small silver in colour rad mounted face down in front of the main rad. Is this the upgraded cooler?
