Auto Trans Cooler Options

[Akirad1]

couldnt find anything about this, so if there is one please point me to it and sorry for the repost if it is one
this is just a ? does the 6gc come with one, how they install on the car easy difficult, and are they worth it for a car that you dont do any heavy loading in.
thanks for any input

yes, that is a cooler of sorts. more like a heat exchanger. it warms and cools the fluid. however, as engine temps get high so do trans fluid temps. adding another cooler in series can be beneficial to lower fluid temps to about 180F where as your engine coolant is around 210F. trans fluid lasts much longer at 160-180F than it does above 200F.

the cooler wont hurt, is cheap, and is quick to install.

and that will do what exactly on a 5s?
nothing.
i REMOVED mine, and capped the hoses.
it'd just be a waste of money.
put it elsewhere. like mantinence.

when was the last time ya did a full tune up?

uh it'll help cool the trans fluid is what it'll do you have a manual transmission so uh DUH you can just cap the lines . when you're beating on an automatic, driving the car hard, forcing downshifts at high rpm and high rpm upshifts or just stuck in traffic moving slow with the ac on full blast, that trans fluid gets HOT. hot enough to ruin the trans all at once? no. but when it gets hot its viscosity gets outside the optimal range for fast crisp shifting without slippage. btw, all auto transmissions slip some. its in the design, because if they bit as hard as they could every single shift there would be cracked cases, broken gear teeth, damaged drums and sun shells all the time. however, when the fluid gets hot hot it gets thinner, the thinner fluid just does not shift as well, you get a little more slip and a little more wear. over time that does add up.

not to mention the affect of heat on the additive package in transmission fluid.

a universal tube and fin cooler is a whopping $30.

umm, no, my WIFES car is a manual, mine is auto.
my point is, there is no point in installing an aftermarket cooler, when toyota designed one into the car that works perfectly.
so yourself.
