    Post Tran Cooler suggestions and experiences,,,,,,

    Hey guys,

    Wanting to know what sort of transmission coolers people are using on the VR Ute.

    The Ute has a surprisingly hard shift kit, stallie and cam so the transmission is worked relatively hard. All this has been installed fairly recently but with nil cooler installed.
    I believe it has a couple hoses through to the radiator but want to back it up with a decent cooler.

    Any suggestions or advice?

    Thanks in advance guys

    EDIT: Another quick question - Will a VR V8 Wagon Exhaust fit to a VR V8 Ute?? I have heard that the pan is the same but would like to confirm

    running a alloy 400x200 here in the vs with transmax oil keeps it at 75c constant, not running it through rad.

    I've got a deralie & it's mounted infront of the a/c condenser by 2 metal/flat bar straps that hold it away from the condenser by 3-4cm's right behind the bumper mouth for maximum air flow.
