Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 5spd Questions

Fixing to change my fluid to royal purple and wondered if fast coolers made a big difference, if they lower the temps signifigantly then I will get before hot Texas summer. Thanks

I don't have a temp gauge on my trans and I don't tow so heat really isn't an issue for me but but I do have the FAST Coolers. I like them because they allow you to raise the fluid level a little above normal. One of the leading causes of failure for these trannies is low fluid which destroys the alluminum shift forks.



Also when you pull the transmission they stabilize it so you don't have to balance it on the jack
