I honestly recommend you to also get a thermostatic plate. it will help in cooler temps !

Ok ill call GTM to get more info thanks.

Add one of these along with a valve actuator with a switch then you can turn it on or off

One that can handle the heat and pressure

damn i killed this thing off for 3 years? Yeah i've seen the coolers from GTM, If you wanna kill to birds with one stone their new radiator is supposed to have a bigger more efficent oil cooler in it too, and it is certainly big enough to cool a monster.

This is what I was looking for http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...installed.html WStar did a thread a wile back about his AT Cooler install. Lot of good stuff in here! Using it to do mine.. :tiphat:

Thanks WSTAR :tiphat:

I just ordered the transmission cooler from Stillen today!
I dont know if its necessary for an Oil Cooling kit unless you take it to the tracks.
I push the car once in a while, but not to the point where the oil goes pass 240 on the gauge :)
Can't wait to install it!

You will find that the lines they provide are bigger than the hard lines you will connect to. Unless you bought the expensive kit that runs all the way back to the trans and ties in with banjo bolts.

Best way to connect with no leaks id to buy a $15.00 flare tool and flare the end of the hard line before sliding your provided lines and hose clamp.

PM me when your ready to do it if you have any questions. I'll try to find it but i did fine a brass step down that took the soft line and sized it down to match the hard line. I just used a small piece of smaller hose and connected it all. No leaks.

I'll post the diameter sizes in a second. I have them somewhere so your not wasting time and money.

Take a piece of sheet metal and make a block off plate for daily driving. Magen is right on, you run the fluid to cool and your destroy the trans. I have 1 small louver opening on mine. I only take the plate off when i AutoX and it's not that often.

Yep, on WSTAR thread the hard line on the car that kit connects to is 5/16, if you use the 3/8 with out flaring the end of the hard line you will have leaks. $450.00 to change your trans fluid, and it take hours.

Hope this helps!

The best way to do it is install a temp gauge & find out what type of heat you are generating for your driving style/application & install the proper size cooler based on the BTU load.

Ok so I bought a 12 row cooling unit but I messed up and only ordered the radiator part without any hoses or bolts or anything at all and was wondering if someone knew where I can purchase that? Post a link if you do is greatly appreciate it! I'm just looking for the lines and all the needed parts to run the install. Thanks for your time guys

Before spending tons of money on a trans cooler setup kit. Try the DIY approach.

Use the Trucool SR4588 Transmission cooler. Its more than sufficient to meet the cooling needs of the RE7RO1A 7spd auto.

The 7AT should have a tube warmer that is located in the radiator, probably in the bottom. This is just to warm the fluid in colder climate to bring it to a more viscous level.

And I'm assuming there is an Auxiliary cooler as well, probably sandwiched between the radiator and condensor.

If there is or is not an auxiliary cooler, I would still highly recommend running the SR4588 cooler up front in direct path of air flow if possible when mounting.

Make sure there is atleast an inch gap from where mount the external trans cooler to the surface behind the cooler such as the condensor. This will allow ample air flow through the cooler and keep it working efficiently.

The low pressure drop coolers such as the Trucool SR4588 are designed to flow only through the upper portion of the flues until the fluid is warmer. (SUPPOSEDLY...lol)

You can always run a thermostatic bypass, but unless you live in temps that see 35deg and below often, it shouldn't be needed.

Other than that, if you live in extreme cold climates, don't drive like an a$$hole until everything is at operating temp. :)

Im thinking of getting a Setrab 25 row Series 6 oil cooler for my trans.

Will be shooting for 500 whp on an Automatic.

Wil this be good for a 500whp Automatic?

How do we add a thermostatic plate for a tranny cooler? All thermostatic plates for our car are made for engine oil filter mount...
