Because the fittings are so large (10AN) Bill used brass reducing couplings to connect to the 90-degree copper fittings, thus allowing a more or less straight piece of hose to go to the copper pipes that are mounted to the frame. The cooler is mounted behind the radiator fans in the "empty space" there in the curve of the frame. #2613's ATF cooler is not mounted in front of the condenser. I didn't have much luck trying different filters from Advanced Auto, and I wasn't sure which narrow filter would actually work to order one online. I also assume that this radiator is mounted in front of the condenser, which is mounted in front of the engine radiator, so you now have three stacked radiators and that there's actually enough room for that?Īlso, what oil filter are you using for the 3.0L? I'm using a Wix 51626, which is the fat style that barely fits next to the oil sender. Is there an issue with how much further the trans fluid has to run? I'd heard something years ago that long cooler lines could damage the transmission pump or something, but I don't really know enough about it to know if there's anything to it. I'm still curious about where Ryan chose to mount it, since I'm guessing just sticking it next to the trans isn't going to get enough air over it if you're stuck in traffic).įarrar, I'm also curious about that radiator setup. (Edit: a closer look at the picture revealed that it just has two connections - for some reason I thought there were two more on the other end and ran cool fluid next to hot fluid, but now I see that it's a radiator that you run the trans fluid through. I'm very curious about how that is connected in Ryan's car. To be clear: RTV was only used on the transmission dipstick tube, not on the cooler - the cooler is just a straight metal-to-metal connection.ĭavid, I'm not quite clear what you mean by "You cannot properly seal the "O" switch with an "O" ring, you must have the correct seal" - did you mean the O-ring on the transmission dipstick tube, or the cooler (which doesn't have an O-ring, right?), or the otterstat switch seal? If it's the latter, I have removed that from my car entirely now, as MegaSquirt controls cooling fans and there is a simple straight pipe in its place.Ĭhris, if I can't get it to stop leaking I'm rather curious about that alternate transmission cooler setup. We did this on Sunday, and needed to wait for it to dry before testing, which I'll be doing in about 3 hours. We did RTV this in place just to be sure (I don't think it needs RTV, but my friend was insistent about it, so we did it). We're pretty sure we just used the wrong sized one, so we tried again with a new ring. That said, I the cooler is damaged but we just didn't notice it, do you think it's more likely to be the coolant pipe, or the hose from the transmission to the cooler? I'm wondering if I have to replace just one or both if there is damage there.įor the transmission dipstick tube, we tried one O-ring, but it leaked. We haven't done a test on it just yet I'll be doing that this afternoon. He couldn't find anything, so his guess is that it was misaligned a bit, so he re-installed it and tightened it down. My friend (a classic car mechanic) and I removed the trans cooler connection and checked for damage. ![]() Sorry for the late reply I missed the notifications on this thread for some reason.
