1990lumina Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 Looks like an external tranny cooler or oil cooler or something??? Quote
bve32k Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Posted July 29, 2005 I thought it was for those too, but the trans is hooked up to the radiator along with the coolant and then the A/C is hooked up already and there is no place for the oil to come out into this thing.. I bought the car basically in peices so I wouldn't even know if it goes on this car or not. Quote
1990lumina Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 Might be an external tranny cooler....you can run the stock tranny cooler, and another one as well. But I'm not 100% sure. Look here so see how it "could" be hooked up to run with both cooler if that cooler pictured above is indeed for a tranny. I guess this would be called "Series" http://www.taurusclub.com/mod-images/cooler-series.gif Quote
1990lumina Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 Oh, so if your tranny is already connected to the stock cooler...I'd guess what is pictured above doesn't go with the car Quote
bve32k Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Posted July 29, 2005 I hope not..I can't even find anywhere where it would go anyway. There is no more room in the front for anything else. Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 ur supose to put it either next, or in front of the radiator Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 it's the stock trans cooler for the LQ1 cars, it hooks up in series with the trans cooler in the radiator, it's suposed to sit directly in front of the condensor (the A/C radiator) - it was GM's attempt at helping this transmission last longer with the engine they put in there - I always try to go to the junk yards and get these coolers as they are awesome oil coolers too - speakin' in which, I gotta make a run to pick one up soon for the street sweeper. --Dave.

White93z34 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 that looks nothing like my 3.4s tranny coolers. Quote
bve32k Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Posted July 29, 2005 So should I use this or not? I tried looking for a place to put it or where it would screw in but it wouldn't line up with any holes. Quote
1990lumina Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 Make new holes. I'd use it definately because th less heat build up in the tranny the longer it will last Quote
