tranny cooler

Fine for big bracket R/E cars, but Tech would &$@& if they saw that as is in a front engine car. The simplest way and the cheapest way is to get a good pump and suck the fluid from the pan (thru dipstick tube) into a graduated container and replace the extracted amount from the pan. Put flag on steering wheel (so you dont forget) and fill pan with fresh oil before heading to staging, the combination of ambient temp and converter temp will knock the temp down to a raceable/consistent level,  Leaning on the trans brake with high engine RPM is what overheats the oil

No different than a guy with a cooler? I personally would not put a cooler in the compartment with me but longer lines could place this out of the driver area.

Thought I was trick with a cooler on my dragster, wound up a pain in the---- and really did not help with the way we ran our car, replaced with a simple loop, no issues, 3 years between rebuilds

bikeguy307:
Running a cooler is a choice, some believe it helps some believe it makes no difference. I personally have them on both my cars as we often double up driving the cars. Literally driving right back to lanes to make a pass. The same goes for the between round cooling systems. Some believe in them others discount there value. In the end its what works for you.

dreracecar:
Exactly

 both sides need to be discussed in order to have the information to make valid dessision
