tranny cooler too cold in winter?
« on: March 16, 2006, 01:56:38 AM »

I have a 6 pass auxillary cooler, and when its like 40 degrees or less it always seems to shift sluggishly, and i know its because the fluid doesnt even get to 100 degrees according to my temp sensor.... Will this hurt the tranny? I NEVER push it hard in the winter.... SHould i remove the auxillary cooler till winter is over?

I cant say Ive ever noticed a large difference in hot or cold  shifts in a healthy transmission,
running it cold wont hurt it, remember heat is your enemy however Im sure warmer thinnner
oil moves a bit easier,, I would  go ahead and put the new chrysler #4 oil and filter  and flush
and the #4 oil has a addative that may resoften your trany seals if they have lost their
softness and help out...l  Roger Reynolds

This may sound strange (or just plain stupid), but could you not just seal up the aux. cooler till it gets warmer out?

i have a cooler on mine and it can get down to -40F here on occasion. everything always works fine. your tranny might stay in each gear a bit longer.
