So I have been thinking about putting a thermostat on the line going to my transmission cooler. For the sheer reason of mornings like today where it is close to 0° and I have to drive 50 miles to work, half of the trip on the highway. And the tranny temp doesn't get much over 100°.
So I thought about getting something like Perma-Cool has. Summit Racing has them for $41.88 and they seem like a good idea. They would let the trans warm up and stay near 180°. At the same time, I would bypass the radiator cooler, and run all hard lines with fitting, instead of hose clamps.
Any thoughts?
