- 2003.5 MP5 Laser Blue Automatic (SOLD)
I just installed a large transmission cooler, believe its 13 x 13 inches approx and takes up one whole half of the space in front of the ac condenser and it goes all the way down. its designed for class A motorhomes towing 10000 lb. im wondering if having such a large cooler affect automatic shifting in winter when its very cold? can the fluid going back to the tranny be too cold and make the tranny function differently like delayed shifts or something? i hooked it up inline with existing bottom of radiator cooler. the hot ATF goes from tranny to stock cooler then to my new cooler and then back into tranny. i had a problem few years ago where i started up the car in the winter on a very cold morning where it was about 10 degrees F and the engine revved high rpms before tranny shifted into second gear. so cuz of this im thinking that i may have more problems like that this coming winter. also if im traveling on the highway in the winter with steady freezing cold air being forced thru the vents in front of the radiator will this be bad for the tranny to get a much more cooled fluid than it is in the summer when it wont get cooled as much?
I would appreciate any feedback or experiences anyone have with this. im a bit curious cuz i never had a trans cooler and i always hear that heat kills transmissions so thats why i just put one in yesterday when the temps here in NJ been close to 100 F.
here is a pic of my cooler. its a 'stacked' type like a engine coolant radiator and its aluminium painted black. i got it in autozone store for 44$
