Andy tells you how it is and he isnt going to BS you in anyway.
He is blunt and only tells you what you need or better yet what your car needs.

If your car isnt 100% to your standards he makes it that way and he isnt someone who is going to talk you into a bunch of Crap your car doesnt need. After you get your car to a certain point he is the first to say get out there and drive it quit modding it right now lol

as I have said over and over one thing about ADM

YOU GET DETAILED WORK AND AWSOME CRAFTMANSHIP

I love my car and the power it gives being part of the ADM Family is awsome when people see that sticker on my side window they know she has some Spunk under her hood

I had a guy just last week at the gas station stand there pumping gas into his car checking out my car when he saw the passenger side window and the small ADM sticker he looked over the pump and said You got ADM in that car ? Crank it up I wanna hear it .

The look on his face was priceless

Thanks Andy , Pat and Rick for everything as I have said

"WERE NOT DONE" after the torque converter we got suspension to work on

It's not the transmission itself i'm worried about. It's the oil that needs to be maintained within a certain temp range. You don't go beat on your car until your engine oil is up to operating temp, but you think your tranny doesn't care?

I do think running a external cooler in the winter time will dramatically cool your tranny fluid. Whether it drops below 150 has yet to be determined but I wouldn't doubt it at all. I guess time will tell. It's certainly something i'd be worried about.

trans internals not even close to an engine,, sorry,, i have run auto trans for many years several different vehicles(from 10 sec th350's to 10 sec 4L60e's all built by me) and have always ran a large cooler, trans temps in the 125*f to 180*f max, never had an issue

now if you are going to drive in the winter temps(below 30*f) then i would still run the radiator cooler with the aux cooler,

I know guys that have NEVER changed their engine oil. Does that mean we really don't need to change it?

hmm, what does that have to do with anything,, you are trying to compare the internal workings of a combustion engine to a automatic trans,,

I'm just saying that just because you ran it without a problem doesn't mean there are no possible adverse affects from doing it.

[camaro1]

i will admit that the 6L80e trans is new to me but i have built many th350's and several 4L60e's in good running street cars 10-11sec stock weight vehicles and have even taken them apart after years of street/ track use for inspection and virtually no wear or clutch dis- coloration all running the same type of cooler/ running temps and no radiator cooler

what proof do you have?

Camaro1 I dont wanna argue with u but the PCM DOES looks at temps and determine alot of variables...This is commen knowledge, Lockup cluth material needs to be at a correct temp to perform well both cold and hot..Not to mention lockup function based on temps..Tranmissions run fluid just like and engine, axis is correct....I wont argue with u about running a cooler becuase it is a good mod for the right application and i do agree running threw the rad is smart in multiple climates..

But to say a transmission and it fluid shouldnt run at a correct temp is just plain incorrect..
Fluid should be brought up to correct temps, walk threw the pits of a track and what do u see

There is a reason for this and u know the answer...

because they just unloaded them off there trailer,

by the way my tcc apply works just fine

from a trans site:

How hot is too HOT?
The worst enemy of an automatic transmission is heat
An automatic tranny is happiest at 190 degrees or less , Tranny fluid is thinner and works fine at temperatures much lower than it is wise to run your engine at.

[JS]

Exactly there not at the correct temps, u just contradicted yourself....

So why would u want something not up to a correct temp or too low of a temp
There is no arguing about too high of a temp so we agree on that subject?


No 170 to 200, lower is not good...
Its all good and we argee to dis-agree

What do I know I only work at a shop that tunes for some of the fastest cars on the planet...

Camaro1 is right. The tranny fluid is very thin and it'll be fine.

[Jekyll-N-Hyde]

For you guys up north you will be fine you dont need one of these your daily driving temps dont get where our's get so you are probably going to be fine with your cars tranny temps.


As for the guys/Gals down south cheap insurance for your Tranny is well worth it.

i mix dextron and gear oil 50-50 for my 4x4 diffs at -4o cel. deg in canada.
they stay mixed and the dextron is more slippery and is a better sub zero lubricant.
i will be adding a trans cooler on my boosted l99, before i race it again.

[camaro1]

its dexron, not dextron
