so i installed the b&M trans cooler, checked the trans fluid level and it was about 2 inches higher then hot, turned on the engine for 30 seconds to fill the cooler and check for leaks, there where no leaks but the cooler was really hot, im going to check every thing again in a hour to see where everything stands but i was wondering how hot it was supposed to be and if anyone had any advice, i followed the write up thread on it.

also for the stupid question of the day, how the hell do i feel it back up, its not throught the dip stick is it?

 

Dipstick is correct.

 

thanks, just comfirmed that with a friend.

 

The new cooler got really hot in just 30 seconds?? Something is wrong.

 

They can get pretty hot. The fluid is gonna be a hundred plus degrees when driving. How much time had passed when u parked it until you put the cooler on. The fluid in the pan may not have cooled off yet.

 

Mine never gets so hot that you can't touch it for a second or two. I needed to add 1/2 quart of tranny fluid when I installed it.
