ClimberDHexMods Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Can anyone confirm the size of the 5EAT Transmission Drain Plug (thread size)? At a glance, I thought it may be smaller than the M20x1.5 engine oil drain plug, but can't find anything online verifying it either way. BTW, if anyone ever wants to know, the tranny drain plug is M18x1.5. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

_MFB_ Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The size of the tranny aux cooler I have is 11x5 3/8in, 3 8/9 core, 3/4in thick. Is this enough? Using it on a forester xt 09, with vf52. Its installed on front of the radiator, 1 inch away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your trans starts shifting worse than it does normally, let it cool down. If letting it cool down makes it start shifting perfectly again, then it was heat. works for me anyways...

LegacyMUN2k6 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm jumping on the band wagon, even tho im stock for now. Who's knows what it will be down the road. Put a bid on ebay on a Hayden 1677. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyMUN2k6 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I went and won this instead the Tru Cool 4454, I kept getting out bid on the Hayden 1676 So I stopped bidding on it at the $24 mark. After I won this I get a 2nd chance offer to get the 1676 for $21 plus shipping Oh Well I just need to know what length and type of hose I would need for the 4454. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170399989057&viewitem= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoker Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 +++On the walkthrough. Installed trucool 4454 this past weekend. Used the conduit wrap to protect the lines and 1/2 inch conduit clamp to the frame for a clean look. My only comment would be have a couple of oem push pins laying around in case one breaks.

Polo08816 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 danger to teh manifold!! For which you must follow the Brian O'Connor method of troubleshooting: 1. Tell the computer to shut up. 2. Slam the screen shut on the laptop. 3. Continue to drive. 4. Sparks will fly through the cabin of your car as you use your "heavy foot" and continue to chase Dominic.

devobuzz Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Anyone see better shifting performance after adding a cooler? Less flare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subi_snipe223 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Great write up. Just installed my cooler. Is there anyway to verify that you are getting flow thru it? I was thinking maybe touching it after use to see if its warm. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 You'd know if you weren't because it's either flowing, or the transmission is overheating and you'd quickly get a transmission overtemp light...unless of course you're running very low (20* and <) air temps. Putting your hand/finger on it would probably tell you though, unless your radiator is really hot too. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subi_snipe223 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks SBT. It seems to be flowing fine. Transmission feels good after a flush and cooler install. On a side note, has anyone ever tried the BG additive? I think I've seen it mentioned in threads around here. I was thinking about picking up a can.
