Any Ideas ?

Looking for ideas on mounting locations for a trans cooler, most likely will use B@M but definitely will have a fan, also curious on the size and type of fittings... TIA
 
Sooo.. i guess no one has ever put a trans cooler on a TTA, i will take pics of where it ends up and btw its not for towing ...its for gas mileage.. lol
 
Well, hopefully you can get down this way some day and share all your tuning tricks... thank you for the words of wisdom,
 
I put a Fluidyne on both the TTA and the LS GTA, barbed fitting on the TTA and 6 AN on the LS car.But I had to put male AN fittings on the cooler for the LS car.
Neither have fans and I fashioned brackets to hang them in front of the cross support rods(or whatever they're called) in the core support.
Frankly, I wouldn't dare consider taxing a sub-par charging system the TTA has with another electrical load such as a fan for the cooler and I didn't for the LS GTA either even though it has more than enough alternator output.
Any reasonable sized cooler,like 8X10 ,fin and plate style , plumbed in series with the radiator is plenty to keep the tranny protected.
The TTA had a high stall, 3400 convertor and I probably spent a second or more too long on the t-brake a few times and my cooler set up fully protected the 200R.
The LS conversion is stand alone and the PCM tells me the 4L80 temps are normal and it has a slightly higher stall.
 
Did theTTA have nlu ? if so did it have a sprag ? It looks like more mounting options w/o a fan, just not sure how cool it would run... The plan is to install new duel feed billet forward drum trans with a Art Carr 3200 nlu tc i have with a temp gauge at the inlet, old set-up was a AC nlu trans with ACnlu 3000 stall tc, took it apart and most of the bands were burnt, would pull hard until it got hot.
