just wondering if tranny coolers are worth it?. . . also has anyone heard of these tranny pans with ventalation inside supposed to do the same thing as cooler only a little better from what i understand and easier to install. TIA

 

Yes. I have one on mine car and most of my friends that have cars that are modded in anyway are the same.

 

If you are running it as a street vehicle, you are fine with the stock setup. However, if you are beating on the tranny or towing, you should get one.

 

They are cheap and don't do any harm, they are Win/Win.

 

There worth Every pennie Deff get one

 

If you use a stock torque converter then the stock cooler in the rad is fine. Since an F-body won't pull any heavy loads, it's hard to overheat the tranny.

If you use any sort of aftermarket torque converter or pull/haul heavy loads with a truck then an external cooler is highly recommended. Higher stall converters build a lot of heat because they slip more at lower rpms. Heat is the #1 killer of automatic transmissions. You need to keep the tranny oil around the same temperature that the engine runs at 160-195*.

Extra protection is to buy a tranny cooler with it's own electric fan. That way it can be mounted anywhere.
