Default Transmission cooler?

I would appreciate any feedback on transmission cooling, as I intend on running a Jerico, Jerico recommend for road racing to run a trans cooler, now as I am doing only 5 lap short courses or 20-25 miles of hard use, it may not be that much of a problem!
Another bonus of running a cooler though is fitting a proper filter in, alternatively I could just change the oil periodically and a magnet bung should handle the metal. The downside to the oil cooler system is potential leaks!

I run a jerrico with no cooler. I run the same 20 minute sessions. I think in a heavier vehicle for a longer period of time with a driver pushing the car, a cooler would be the smart way to go. Scott

Default Cooler

Scott,

I will fit one in the system with maybe a Tilton electric pump, Jerico filter and a reasonable 7 row cooler, or maybe a good transmission cooler if they come with the right AN fittings!

Thanks.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.... but it's a good idea since there's not many places to get air flow under a Cobra...

The Fan and cooler don't look to be very thick.... so would fit nicely in between the frame rails....

Just some thoughts..

Default Cooler

Morris,

Appreciate that, and food for thought!

I dont think I need that, as with only doing 10 minute racing here, a lot of guys run nothing, but the question can be asked "how hot is the trans oil, if you haven't got a temp gauge!

Ant:
The jerico has oil cooler fittings for the cars doing enduros. If you are only doing 20-30 mile races, don't worry about it. If you want to know the temps, get an inexpensive infra-red gun, and take readings after each session.
If you fit a filter, make sure it has a large enough cross-section so that it does not plug, example - Oberg makes a gearbox filter...

Default Oil cooler

That makes sense, my old boss has a heat gun, regarding the oil cooler what I was also intending on having was mainly oil filtration to pick up debris mainly, and plumb in an oil cooler as well, but its all additional cost probably!
