Re: Trans cooler hose
Mr. Tom Goldman just gave some good advice as usual. Use the highest psi rated hose that you can get along with a much higher temp rating than trans fluid usually gets. Mushy hose caused by heat and low psi rating will cause way more consistency and durability problems than running no cooler at all. Years ago we put a video cam focused on the trans cooler hoses and were surprised at how much they swelled and then returned to normal during shifts. Surprised they didn't rupture. Deleting the cooler resulted in .07 reduction on a 11.50 car and this was already a lower than normal pressure trans.
