Don't plug the line feeds on a torqueflite as the rear shaft support gets it's lubrication from there.

Hi Jim, Your best bet for a drip free trans is to loop it. Kelly made 15 runs last Friday at the track rental and the hottest the trans got was 180. A stocker is never going to be in a position to take that kind of abuse.

Jim,
As you know I have a Pro Trans 904 also. They will tell you all you need is a loop. Mine came with a copper line loop. No problems. I change the fluid every 30 runs and have a reusable/cleanable filter. Fluid levels are very important in these trannys! Jim

Re: Automatic Transmission Cooling
 

Thanks guys....I'm looping and changing frequently. And yes Jim, after Reynolds last year I keep a real close eye on the level!

Roger that! Jim:rolleyes:

Real world story;
I was at Atlanta Dragway on a hot humid night years ago, running a friend's SBC, PG Camaro. He had a trans temp guage and no cooler, and it was staying around 200 * . I was going rounds , with not much time in between. In the semi's I couldn't run the dial and lost. The car didn't spin, so I looked at the gauges, and the trans was at 240.

I always put a cooler up front on my Stockers. You spend so g.d. much money on them anyway, why not?

Bottom line: I'd listen to Myron or anyone else here who goes many late rounds in hot, humid weather.

Re: Automatic Transmission Cooling
 

If you go rounds with a looped trans then you need to start putting a blower under the car as soon as possible...you'd be amazed how much heat that pulls out of a trans. I did that cooler or not "back in the day" when I was bracket racing quite a bit.
