^ why didn't the manufacturer design the filter that way? I guess it's not necessary thing. Tranny oil nowaday do not need changing.

 

how is everyones hayden cooler doing?

 

Mine is awesome, haven't had any issues with the cooler or tranny. It was really easy, I just ran it inline with the stock cooler in the radiator. Took me about 30 mins to install, and thats with breaks.

 

which cooler did you get? couldnt find which one you have

 

I have a Hayden cooler, could be a knock off, but their all the time. If you Google Hayden tranny cooler, it'll give you a few responses...

Seems to be the cheapest, however I didn't look very hard, and I'm sure you could find an ebay/criagslist deal for even better. I have no complaints with my cooler. I think it said it was rated for 26,000 gross weight and I was worried it might be a little too cool, but haven't had one issue. Make sure you get stainless clamps to ease install if they salt your roads.

 

would anyone wanna be a guinee pig and try this?

 

you could sam....

 

I got the hayden it looks like the fins are really easy to damage, especially being in the front right there or during install I dunno maybe i shoulda got the black one from Summit racing looks stronger

 

well im stock piling my stuff im gonna have installed







the red fitting is a swivel fitting













now just need to pick up the lines and install this stuff...

 

Looks good so far!


BTW I think I have the same cooler. I like it much better than the Hayden cooler since there are no fins to bend or look ugly after a long drive on the interstate.

 

thanks....its kinda on hold for a minute, while i wrap up a few other things. i didnt remember how expensive those stupid A.N. fittings were till i bought them again.....hell the line is expensive too.

BTW which cooler do you have? i hate to break it to you, but that IS a hayden cooler. its the hayden 1677. so is there a problem with the hayden coolers?

 

ok so i went and bought the S.S. line today to get this going as i was gonna do this,this weekend, but then while i was at work i noticed these fittings and that i dont have a A.N. fitting for them

i needed to see if you anyone has these fittings or a spare radiator, they are on the bottom of the radiator of my gs430, they should be the same on all the radiators though im assuming. i really need the thread pitch of them this way i have no downtime while i put my A.N. fittings in as the shop is closed on the weekend so if i took them off sat or sun i couldnt get them till monday.

 

where do you plan on mounting the remote filter? and what size is that filter?

 

sakataj - Will you still be using the plastic under panel?

 

I haven't revisited this thread in a while but one thing that I wanted to mention to those who wish to purchase a transmission cooler is to find one that has a built in thermostat so that in cold weather condition, the fluid will be bypass to help aid fluid reaching operating condition. I've always used B&M which has this feature and cheap. But if you want the best, look into Seatrab or Mocal.
