StevesXR6T Member 44 Member For: 19y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: Ormeau,QLD Posted 02/12/07 07:44 AM Share Posted 02/12/07 07:44 AM I have installed a PWR transmission cooler and bypassed the radiator completely. I have a trans temp gauge and the temp sits between 150F and 170F. I am fairly sure that the temp sensor is on the return line from the cooler so this should be a good indication of the trans sump temperature where the gauge is suppose to be mounted. Is this a normal range.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that maybe someone may have a temp gauge on a standard one so I can get an idea of the standard figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilto Member 218 Member For: 17y 4m 15d Gender: Male Posted 19/12/07 05:53 AM Share Posted 19/12/07 05:53 AM I am having a brand new radiator installed on Friday. I also have the PWR trans cooler (the big one).I was going to run the transmission fluid firstly through the PWR cooler and then the radiator as well.I can't see a reason to bypass the radiator......2 coolers should be better than 1 right...????

Is this a normal range.Thanksthose temps are fine.........drag cars you kind of panic when temps hit above 250 degrees F as it starts to boil the fluid and slips the clutch packs badly.in a street car 150 to 180 is pretty much the norm. when you start to hit 200 and above.......... start drivings slowly till it cools down.PWR make great trans coolers as these are what I use Ern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
