blacktur8oute Member 139 Member For: 11y 3m 9d Gender: Male Posted 23/06/14 05:18 AM Share Posted 23/06/14 05:18 AM Hi allAfter doing some research on here regarding the heat exchange for the zf transmission failing I was convinced to purchase the PWR one and fit when I service the box. I spoke to the local tranny guy today and he recomended not to go for the PWR one and just fit a heavy duty one as the PWR one will yes stop a milk shake happening but cooling wise not much better than the standard one and reckons there sh*t when it comes to cooling. He only uses genuine oil and said he sells it for $37.50lt bottle or can sevice supply & fit genuine metal pan ,filter, oil, cooler and braided line for $950 what are your thoughts guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a modified car up to about 300rwkw I would go for the PWR heat exchanger alone as it enables the trans to get up to temp quick and keeps it running close to factory temps.BUT if I had a high powered car I would go for the PWR heat exchanger and a large cooler with fan (thermostatically controller) in series with the PWR. Then you have all bases covered.But I drive a manual and dont have to worry about auto issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add a cooler. 500rwkw at the track is the top 1% of ask for the trans and cooling system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
