Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Good morning.There is a factory OEM cooler available, I will soon be installing one on my MY16 VF2 SV6. Normally used on high performance V8 variants but also was on Police spec cars including the V6 models
It adds the external trans radiator to the front of the main radiator, and connects via a thermal bypass block to the main radiator
I can't find it at the moment but I had a screen shot of a quote from a few years back that showed all the parts you needed, will probably run you round the $1500 mark for the parts.
I sourced mine from a wreck, but had to buy a new radiator as I found a crack in the old one. Radiator alone was just over $300

Yes, police pack VF2 Evokes had the trans cooler and a 3 litre engine. You'd think a 3.6 engine would be a more beneficial police pack fitment than a trans cooler.also was on Police spec cars including the V6 models
Good morning.
I would like to fit one on my Redline.
I am not sure if my car has one as I never looked.
How much did you pay for the tranny cooler please?

I don't believe SAPOL used V8's at all. Some highway patrol cars were SV6's and all the city cars marked and unmarked were Evokes. Only the paddy wagon and K9 squad VF utes had the 3.6 engine.Always wondered why SAPOL insisted on just VF Evokes for their patrol cars (Well im guessing just cost) but the fleet pricing can't have been that much different between Evoke/SV6, especially to all the more expensive ones that replaced them. To my knowledge, I dont think they even had any VF SS highway patrol cars. At a car meet I see they kept for their museum the final SAPOL Evoke, which is great, but certainly doesn't cut a presence like the other states final Redline Highway patrol SS's
VS was the last of the V8's in WA, 27 years ago!WA hasn’t used V8 police cars for a very long time. Something like 25 years. Might be closer to 30?
