recommended trans cooler?

[monterey1962]

Was browsing and noticed that most seem to go after B&M coolers. Anyone recommend anything specific? Anyone have a part number? Looking to add one in the near future.

I am running a hayden from advance. As long as it's a big stacked plate, you are good.

Stack plates are more efficient than whatever the other type are called size for size. The other type are usually a bit cheaper though. If you're going to install one, might as well get a quality unit and be done with it.

Which one would be good to roll with ....

TWO (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BMM%2D70268&N=700+400004+115&autoview=sku)

THREE (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BMM%2D70265&N=700+400004+115&autoview=sku)

the first two should be good justin the last one's a little to small for my taste of course you have to make brackets for it though

#2, #3 maybe thicker but it does not have as much area as two, the thickness really does not help since that extra 1/2" is being cooled by the air thats already been heated up by the front .75"
Better yet, buy two of #2 and run them both

as long as i dont hold it against the converter for extended periods of time, my tranny almost never sees 200degrees anymore.

I basically have #2, which is installed post stock internal to rad cooler

I am running B&M's 70264 model cooler

It is a good piece, and a nice size both from a cooling stand point, and installation.

I would not advise running multiple coolers in series, this will reduce ATF flow rate which is also bad for your tranny. Running a cooler inline with a factory in-radiator ATF heat echanger is fine, though.

Drove mine yesterday, tranny fluid never got above 150degrees.
