Did Holden go backwards

[Munz]

Hey folks
I noticed the other day my VZ LS1 does NOT have a seperate Auto trans cooler like the VT-VX models!
Why did they revert back to the through the radiator type system???

Also I have a power steering cooler instead...wierd but happy about that

When did the VT-VX models have a seperate trans cooler?

The 2 VT's I had both had the radiator transmission coolers.

[nemesis_adrasteia]

pretty sureit was the heavy duty tow packs had the external cooler.

External coolers were an option.

Oh true yea should of thought of that, without starting another thread does anyone recommend an decent aftermarket cooler for a H/C LS1 - no stall convertor

I used this kit and haven't had any problems, pretty easy to fit.

The only thing with this kit is you need a special tool to disconnect the trans line so find out if they supply it in the kit.
I got one in my kit but a few on here didn't get the tool supplied and had to purchase it separately.

Our VX has a cooler, its crap just a couple of metal lines running back and fourth across the front with no cooling fins.

I believe what you are looking at is the power steering cooler.
The auto trans if fitted with an external cooler is definitely a minature radiator looking bit of kit.

Well that would make more sense, i just looked at it and assumed its was for the transmission, without knowing what else could it be? a power steering fluid cooler definitely didnt come to mind lol. but yeh ive only (and now still only) seen external trans coolers that look like mini radiators.
