Tranny Cooler
Fitted a Tranny Cooler to the Grand, once I got the brackets right all was good, ran the hoses down ànd they ran well with no hard bends, made my own anti chaff for the hoses using some trickle pipe which I sliced in a corkscrew cut.
On the test run it was 34 deg and my temp gauge was lower than normal when I run thru the hills near my place, so the cooler is doing it's job. Torque showed my coolant at 73c, pity it doesn't show tranny temp. Made 4 seperate brackets and used some rubber pads with the bolts to try and absorve vibration which is th biggest worry I think.
The oil is running thru the cooler first then the radiator as I want to stop the tranny from causing high coolant temps when the tranny is working hard.
