Transmission Oil Cooler

[louiseanddanny]

Hey guys, just thought id ask if any members have installed a transmission oil cooler? I have a BA xr6t and pushing out above 300rwkws with a stock auto and am looking to install one but thought, what idea's people have on them and how much they spent?.

With your power level, I'd say it's a smart move.

Try Motorsport Connections at Seven Hills, they stock a good range and can also supply the lines and fittings that you'll need to fit it.

As an aside, unless you want bling, you don't really need braided lines for this sort of deal.they have hi-temp hose that'll easily handle this installation and it's a fraction of the cost of the fancy stuff...ask them about "pushlock" fittings..you'll save a bomb.

You can mount it in back of your lower grille(in front of your cooler)

Or, as an alternative, there's plenty of room behind the R/H spotlight in behind the inner guard....but you may have to make up some form of air scoop near the undertray to direct more air up there.

As for cost...there's plenty of cheap and nasty coolers on the market but look at the cost of your trans...get a good one...it pays in the long run....

I can't see it going more than $200-$300 bucks all up....

Hope this helps mate.....

Here is the thread I did when I fitted mine.

Do it yourself man. Will cost you under $200 for sure and you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Was looking to get a PWR kit but thought see what other people used, ill have to talk to Chris from RAPID and see what the specs of installing it behind or infront of the cooler. I have the V2 intercooler and hopefully trans cooler will fit thanks for your help.
