    Trans oil cooler?

    Hi All, I want to purchase and oil cooler. I just DON'T know where it's located on my tranny, or whether or not it even has one. I have 92 LX F22A1 stock automatic (4)speed.

    Thanks if anyone can help clarify.

    The stock cooler is located in the radiator. You should see two lines running to and from the radiator to the transmission. You can install an aftermarket cooler with a larger capacity using those same lines (just be sure to add enough fluid for that extra capacity.)

    If you're not doing any really hard driving, or making a large amount of power, there really is no need to upgrade the cooler, though. It won't hurt, but it'd be a useless modification without a genuine need for it.

      Awesome info. The reason I felt I needed an upgrade was becuase I theorize that my tranny gets too hot, causing my rmps wiggle past 70mph. Usually my tranny is SCREAMING hot after just a regular start-up and warm up- before I take off to work at 4:00am.

        Have you checked fluid levels in it to make sure you're not just running low? When was the last time it was flushed?

          Yes, my dipstick is full to the top of the hash-markings. I check it regularly. However I'm not using Honda ATF. I'm using one liter(1) Lucas tranny-stop leak and one regular tranny.

          Does it matter?

            Others who have had issues in the past will say that it matters.

              get one from a early 90's ford ranger, it'll fit just fine
              an internal radiator cooler is a 2 edge sword
              if your engine overheats, your trans oil will too
              the cooler is in the radiator to help the trans oil warm up and keep it around 180-190deg, this is mainly for colder climates

              an external cooler, with an inline filter is a really good upgrade to an AUTO trans, and will defintalty extend the life of it
              the trans oil will get up to temp on its own, depending on the state you live on if it snows or is too cold, stay with the factory unit, although a filter is always a good idea
              to replace the factory filter you have to split the case, something most of you will not do

                Sharing pics of the job I did. Cut out the oem power steering cooler and installed a derale one. With the extra space I was able to add a cooler for the trans and and a thermostat/filter setup (all derale) in front of the passenger wheel. Really happy with how it came out.
