ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 1d Posted 26/11/08 07:33 AM Share Posted 26/11/08 07:33 AM (edited) Hey all,managed to get another stock auto for my xr6t for free so cant complain. Had the tune adjusted for better shifting and feels alot better so far. Just wanted to find out what sought of trans coolers people are using when having big intercooler aswell and where they fit them. I want to bypass factory radiator cooler and just run a descent size trans cooler. A couple of mates are running cooler behind drivers side driving light and have cut a hole under the bottom right hand side of bumper for air. Want to find out what others have done or found to be best option. Hoping to get 6months atleast out of auto before stronger rebuild, so trying to look after it and have a cooler for future auto aswell. Thanks.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 1d Posted 26/11/08 09:49 AM Author Share Posted 26/11/08 09:49 AM I think I know what you mean but yeah pics would be good if possible. How much did it all cost and although unusual seems like a good idea for space etc. Are the fans on all the time or is their a switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its a good idea to fit in front of 1 thermo fan.Some more expensive trans coolers come with their own thermo fans!..........B & M I think it is!Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
