Re: anyone using their old ac condenser as a trans cooler?

oh i flushed mine through with brake-kleen first. was just wondering if anyone had done it and di it cool as good as a real tranny cooler. i have a real cooler i am going to use , and regardless going to be putting my ac back real soon, was just wondering. i have a spare condenser im sure i could make work if it were to some advantage coolingwise. i drive pretty hard, and dont think overkill is possible or is it?

i just rebuilt my trans last night and put it back in this evening. i drove about 25 miles or so doing the speed limit and everything was lovely till i exited. i didnt smell anything but was slipping pretty bad when i pulled out, and a nice lil white cloud of smoke came from under the cab that quickly went away.it straightened up, no slipping about a mile through town, and i got it home and let it cool off and now everything seems fine again.

my truck has always ran at 210 and i think my trans was overheating because of it. no probs driving it like this for a year, but something is wrong and im going to get that temp down, even though ive tried alot of things before with no luck. it runs at 210 no matter what thermostat i put, right now it has a 160 in it.
