hey all, yes, i got my car back on the road and shes runnin beautifully, just have a oil leak and inspection thing to take care of.

also, i have a stage 4 trans in there now with all docs. now, the temp after driving around for 10 mins gets to 230-240 and keeps going up, it has a trans cooler on the front i forget what size but i do still have the box, but it doesnt have a fan. now should i get a new cooler or should i gett a fan to go on the cooler? i do still have the coolant going through the stock trans cooler in the radiator, but should i bypass that with a bigger trans cooler or should i keep using both and stick a fan on there, or should i jsut get a new cooler?

all comments would be helpful. thanks !

Wow, that's very hot. Are you sure everything is OK with the trans, and that the cooler is hooked up properly?

yeah the cooler hasn't been disconnected since installation a year ago, this trans is fresh, now i'm not sure if the tuning can have anything to do with it has i haven't touched trnasmission, but yeah i don't know why the guage is saying it's so hot.

he may have changed the exhaust location as well --10 min and 230 something else is influencing it - jz
