Cheap Transmission Cooler Kits

[datmoo]

Was just down at my local Repco and they have PWR trans. cooler kits on clearance at the moment.

They do 4 sizes in 19mm thick: 4cyl 280x110, 6cyl 280x150, 8cyl 280x200 and heavy duty 280x255.

6 cyl was $74 and 8 cyl was $75 which is about half price (didn't price the other two).

And which recognises is this one at mate just had a look at there online catalogue but couldn't see anything on there I'll pop into the shop tomorrow and see if it's a localish one to me

Repco not recognises god damn phones on the Fritz

This was in Bendigo, I didn't see it advertised anywhere, I would think it would be nation wide (but I never assume).

If other stores aren't doing a clearance maybe say, "but a guy at Bendigo Repco got his for cheap!" or ring Bendigo and see if they will post.

I got the 6cyl one and they had at least one each of the other sizes left.

Good to know mate. I'll pop into my local one and see if no lick there yeah ill call the Bendigo one to pack one up and post it.

I've got a 6cyl one on the stagea, which has been great.

The 180 has a 4cyl one for the powersteering.

Only comment would be buy quality hose, as the stuff that comes with it is a bit dubious.

[Lakes101]

What hoses would you recommend braided such as speedflow

[PN-Mad]

Heck no! Unless you have a F1 budget!

Auto shops and/or pirtek sell 3/8 transmission hose. I know someone who had the supplied hose split on them. Maybe it was as simple as a dodgy batch, but since there really isn't enough to do the job in the box anyway, so you'll need to buy more.

Hahah not at this time of year I think no one would lol. Is there diy install guide up on here for and transcooler and oil cooler install?
