• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

That wouldn't have an impact on the transmission. The radiator is heating it up to the same(ish) temperature as the engine itself. Like I said, it's not bad for the transmission, but it's bad for the fluid. You'll just have to change the fluid sooner than you would with a cooler...with temps like that I'd change it every 30K or so. My transmission has 230k+ on it, so the closer I keep it to 175, the happier she (and I) will be. Here's the cooler I installed on mine, red hose added 153 Horsepower of course:

I can't see a bad alignment causing transmission temps to rise.

I've had this one for years in my shed, but I think I paid something like $13-$15 at a junkyard off of a Ford Exploder. It didn't take me too long, I was having a BBQ and drinkin at the time, so it took an afternoon or so. What took the most time was removing all the ducting and bumper covers and such. Installing the cooler is simple, find a way to mount it (it has mounting ears, so you might have to drill a hole in your core support to bolt it down), cut the return line going back to the transmission, and plumb the cooler inline. Remember to check your fluid afterwards, I think I had to put a little over a quart in to fill it back up. This is just some of the ducting and bumper sh!t you have to take off:

I bought new tail lights last nights. Last week I bumped a crack on one of mine and broke a chunk off...now it's filled with snow and ice...awesome.
 


Well, I would have probably done that, but I have a pretty bad cold that is making life miserable right now. Don't want to exacerbate it by laying on the cold ground.
 
as soon a i felt it coming on i run and get a bag of coldezz, i swear they work. it never made it to my chest. that would have been lost days for sure. i was coughing enough from the post nasal drip that was going on.
 


I have an awful cold.. and worked 10 hours today. Then I came out to my wonderful Northturd expecting it to keep my butt nice and toasty the whole way home at 11pm. when I got off thanks to the wonderful heated seats. Instead I sat down in the car, turned the key and heard, Click! ......... Yeah, it's been a fun night.
