Seems transmission coolers really are beneficial...

lmao yeah man it's the bottom line

If you want to make sure, try cranking the motor (not starting) with both lines removed.. fluid should piss out the top one. Mine blew off on first startup of new motor. LOL

It works on the same principal as the radiator, funny that . Heat rises, so the bottom is the outlet.

Unless someone replaced the hoses and mixed them up it should be right lol.

Dude.... that makes so much sense. How the crap did I not think of that?

The reason a lot of people bypass the radiator is the radiators have a tendency (esp fords lol) of cracking and sending water through your gearbox. when it gets water in it, all the glue on the clutch linings fail and they all end up floating round in the gearbox and you end up with a dead auto. this exact problem happened to my parents falcon a week ago. according to the auto mechanic the BA falcons are the worst culprit of doing it. im buggered if im gonna risk that, im air cooled only about A4 sheet size cooler.

Ah of course! Now THAT makes sense

 

[savage1987]

lol


I've not had an issue with my tank cracking yet, not so common with VL V8 radiators I hope

 

[timmy_tam]

just found this write up from a link about v8 radiators in v6

wouldn't it be a good idea to use one of hte coolers as an oil cooler?

sorry if its a noob question

 

[savage1987]

Yeah could do.. but I'll get another cooler if I want to do that

And another for power steering fluid. You can never have enough fluid coolers!

 

[Immortality]

damn right , just look at the Vyron. it has 9 coolers in total.

i run a cooler for the power steering fluid in the VN and it only ever gets warm. topped up the VS power steering fluid this arvo and it was fairly hot. not good really
