Tranny Cooler??

You DO NEED ONE even while your stock. Its such cheap insurance. I have the B&M 24,000gvw cooler. I'd get something at least 18,000gvw, but really, the bigger the better. Heat leads to 90% of all problems with an auto tranny.

I got talking to an engineer from Roush when I joined the Thunderbird Club, and he basically said that a tranny cooler should be one of your first mods you ever do.

From Jeg's or Summit its only like $45, + the price for an extra quart of tranny fluid. I would pay $50 to make my trans last longer any day of the week.

As far as install, its a more time consuming then changing brake pads or something, but its not very hard or impossible. You just have to be calm and able to deal w/ working in tight spaces. And if you don't want to install it, you should be able to have it done for like $80-110.
