Hi all, new form member
I have recently purchased a new C7 convertible and have been learning a lot about it from the form, some great information out there. I have some questions though and have tried to search them but can't seem to find the answers.
I have a 2015 Z51 3LT Convertible and my questions are:
1. How many transmission coolers do I have (looks like I may have two)?
2. Where are they or it located?
3. The convertible has no upper quarter panel air intake vents so how does air get to the cooler, assuming it's in the rear like the coupe?
Thanks

1. You have one, the other cooler is for the eLSD.
2. In the rear.
2. Can't answer that I have a Coupe.
I do see the eLSD cooler in the rear center of the car tucked up near the suspension. However I also see lines coming from the transmission going to both rear corners of the car. So I got my telescoping mirror and a light and did some checking. I do have 2 transmission coolers! One is on the drivers side with a cooler fan just like shown in the cut-away car pictures I seen. The second one is mounted the same way, same basic location but on the passenger side. The only difference is the second cooler does not have a cooling fan. My guess is the second cooler is in the Z51 convertible due to the fact there is no air intake vent and duct work to the first cooler.
I am assuming you have an Automatic transmission on your Z51 convertible. I recall seeing Tadge in a video on the production line showing a circular fin cooler that is for the auto transmission only installed in the middle of the car. The other transmission cooler on the driver's side has a fan which is not used on the manual Z51. Both cars would have a differential cooler with no fan on the passenger side. Auto transmission needs to be cooled even at slow speed, so that is why its cooler needs a fan while the manual does not, and likely why there is an extra cooler since there are no vents on the rear quarter for the convertible, meaning less airflow from the fenderwell vents to the rear cooler. I am guessing a little here.
Convertible Transmission Cooler?
