Overheating, Gearbox? Something Else?

[Beregron]

Sorry to dig up an old thread but we hardly need another one...

I need to pick up a trans cooler for the M35 before the 17th of next month.

I have a stock M35 front bar with HID intercooler and was wondering if anyone could shed some insight into the dimension of the trans cooler they used.

Cheers folks

Bigger the better. A V8 cooler core should do the job, but it will be a tight fit behind the HDI.

I run a 30 row 50mm oil cooler, with a 10 inch thermo. The fluid runs through a thermostat to keep the trans warm in winter, and the fan only kicks in at high temps, or as required using a switch. Sounds like overkill but once you have blown a couple of boxes you will probably think it's undersized like I do.

I replaced my R34 GTT stock cooler with a Davies Craig 678 when I was still running an auto box, see here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165605-auto-trans-cooler-upgrade/?p=7031106

Direct replacement, I didn't muck around with thermostats or anything. In terms of performance all I can say is that it occasionally threw the A/T light / lost fourth gear before the install but never after, at 200rwkw.

Just had this exact trans issue on my travels over the weekend. Warm weather and a few hills and she threw a hissy fit!

Trans cooler is high on the to do list now!
