tranny coolers
Tude:
to make a tranny cooler take the original tranny lines and basicly flip them into the back seat area under the passenger side seat. every where you cut the lines use a tranny line spect rubber hose with 2 or 3 clamps, one will allways leak. then hook up a tranny cooler off any car that will fit into a bucket or what ever you use . and then fill it up with ice. it will stay cool the whole time on the track but after evry heat, consi, or feature fill the bucket back up
the more line you use the cooler it will stay
if you use a metal bucket, ammo box, old cooler it will stay cooler longer than a plastic one
i use a plastic 5 gallon bucket in every thing and buy about 3-5 bags of ice becouse it will melt quick in the summer time no matter where you put it at befor you run.

How many minutes does it take to melt all the ice in the bucket?? is there still cubes when the heat or feature is over or is it usually melted by that point?
Ive taken the heater core and brazed fittings on it and ran the tranny fluid thru it with the blower motor on as a cooler before, it works ok as long as nothing shorts out. But the bucket of ice idea is different. Have you ever gotten an icy bath yet??
Tude:
always had ice left over to cool my soda/beer but i always carry a few extra bags becouse heat/consi/feature i buy about 3-5 bags per run once you fill it up it will melt but not as bad as you would think

My luck the lid would come off and soak me head to toe.
Tude:
i use a 5 gallon bucket that has the snap on lid that takes like 15 min to pull off when you want it to . run my lines thew the drain hole in the lid
