LFX Tranny Cooler? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This may be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway.

Does our LFX V6 Auto's have a transmission cooler?

I've noticed while doing "spirited" canyon driving and tracking the car the tranny does get pretty hot.

If not are there any aftermarket solutions that anyone here has done?

Thx for the help.

Yes it does. Follow the two coolant lines up from the transmission to beside the radiator and you'll see how it connects. I put a separate one in front of the crash bar and just connected it into the existing system.

Nice. How much did the temps drop?

Would you mind telling me which cooler you used?

Thx

Well, that's hard to say because I did the converter at the same time. I am rinning about 170* on the highway, but around town it can get close to 200*.

I picked it up at Autozone years ago, but I don't remember the brand.
