adding a trany oil cooler

Post by blk182@n7 »

has anyone heard or tried to add a trany oil cooler to the GT? I added and aftermarket one to my GTP and the trany ran 100% better.

There are a couple of threads here about tranny coolers, but they are for auto trannies. I don't think anyone has posted anything about adding a tranny cooler to a manual like the 6 speed the GT has.

That oil cooler is for an auto trans; the GT only has a manual trans. There is no manual transmission oil cooler that I know of.

How about an oil cooler for your engine? It would keep the heat down in your oil. My 77 Porsche had a factory cooler. I installed one on my 79 Scirocco because it was highly modified.

My 77 Porsche had a factory cooler.Would that have been the oil-cooled Porsche engine? (no antifreeze/coolant) A friend of mine's dad bought a 77 Porsche with the oil cooled engine. He took it for an oil change and that sucker took 16 quarts of oil!

Wouldnt you have to add a pump to move the oil for a manual tranny?If you add an oil cooler for the engine, might be a good idea to incorporate some kind of thermstatically controlled valve, other wise your engine would never "warm" up on coooold winter drives-or would it? Of course you in CA and down South wouldnt have that trouble, lol!
