Tim240z Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Is there a thermostatic type valve which could preclude the flow of trans fluid to the trans cooler until the temp reaches the correct level? I was just thinking that if I run a large cooler and the weather is cold the trans oil temp might not ever get up to temp. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Canton and Earl's both make remote mount thermostats for oil systems. I'm sure they can be used for trans fluid with the right fittings. Most start opening around 160F and are fully open at 190F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 There definitely is. I don't recall the brand but at least 2 companies offer them. I'd seen them on a website a while back as I'll likely move to one sometime here. Yesterday on the highway my V8 never got up to it's usual 180 Tstat temp which is unusual. It usually gets their easily and just sits their dead steady, I was wondering how cool my trans fluid would be.........(not even below freezing and it was VERY humid). Hayden, Tru Kool or....hopefully someone will roust it up, I can email the link source tonight and find out who it was.. Some slick units have their own fan/Tstat etc, not sure I want another fan as I'm not convinced I need it though, nice insurance I suppose. ....that's another reason to run it back thru a rad cooler on the return trip.....stop it from getting tooo kewl. (I run it thru both coolers, can't say which is on return though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
