Hi

guys my tranny died and now Im wondering what to do with the stall and the tranny cooler
I know I cant just put a new (meaning used ) tranny in there and use the stall and cooler as they are
so do I clean them or should I just replace them ? (to be safe)

please let me know what you guys think


Thank you
Dan

 

i heard when the tranny goes out, it takes the tc with it... but i have no clue how it would do that......

so i'd like to know the answer to this too

 

I'll answer that one for you

see it doesnt actually take out the TC, but it fills the TC and the cooler with little pieces of metal and if you use this same TC and cooler on a new tranny without cleaning them those little pieces of metal go into the new tranny and kill it

what do you mean the tranny died? I say that for a minor slippage. Some say that for a major blow. If it went out hard then TOSS everthing.....trans cooler and TC.

 

my trans builder told me if i blow the trans junk everyhting and start over new... i didn't listn last time i blew up my th350 and used the same converter.. blew up the trans within 2 weeks.. put new everything and no problems 50 passes later plus a lot of street driving.

 

thing is I dont know for sure
here is the whole story:
I bought the car with a "tranny leak", that "tranny leak" turned out to be something more, the car died on the first day
it started slipping when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear but by the end of the day it was slipping in every single gear
now Im thinking it might of had a major blow earlier but I dont know

what do you guys think ?


Thank you

well I was thinking about doing that just to be safe
but Im wondering about the cooler, ok I can replace the aftermarket cooler , but what do I do with the stock one ? should I just cut it out ? (meaning bypass it and simply use the aftermarket one)



Thank you
Dan

 

In that case then DUMP IT ALL!!!

 

lol, the engine too ?

i personaly don't run mine through the stock one.. half the time my colant is hotter than my trans.. i just one a big aftermarket one.

 

I have a pretty big aftermarket cooler, but my stock one is still connected as well
I think I'll just cut the stock one out and do what you do
