" hey grumpy?
I'm having a hot trans problem and need some advice.
my cars got a 406 sbc and a 700R tranny. The radiator is a Walker 4 core stock style with a trans cooler at the bottom. I notice a clutch smell when I get out of the car in the garage and I am assuming that it's coming from the trans. What's the best approach to fixing the problem.
If you already smell burn clutch, chances are excellent the damage is already done and will also tend to get worse, any high stall speed converter requires a decent trans fluid cooler as they generate extra heat
heres the trans cooler I use in my CORVETTE, its works fine, (mounted where the spare tires supposed to go) read the thread, measure VERY carefully and have a local hydraulic supply fabricate your fluid transfer lines with the correct ends.
a restriction to flow will generally be the part of the connecting lines with the smallest cross sectional area, if you look at most automotive oil or transmission coolers they have AN#6 (3/8")or AN#8 (1/2")connections, so lines significantly larger won,t do much for increasing flow rates
