Auxillary transmission cooler on Vibe Auto?

Post by 87iroc »

I was just curious if anyone has tried to install a aftermarket transmission cooler on their vibe? I have one I am pulling off my Camaro and am thinking of putting it on our Vibe. Someone had mentioned that the transmissions run hot anyway, so since i had it laying around, I thought I would go ahead with it.Does anyone have any idea what it might do to a warranty claim...

Yea I have one. It is a unirversal type Trans cooler. I had it installed at a local transmission shop. It should have no effect on your warranty, especially since it helps the trans stay cool. From what I know it is only really necessary if you have FI or work the trans really hard. It may be worth more to ya if you sell it on ebay.
