    1989 Chrysler TC transmission cooler.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I purchased the first TC I had ever seen in person from a park and sell lot in 2017. The first

    thing I noticed was a large pool of trans fluid when I got home. I took it to the shop I sometimes use

    (my regular one was closed for vacation.) They said the trans cooler was leaking. After several days

    they contacted me and said they could not find an oem cooler and would have to use an equivalent

    aftermarket one. After several more days they said they finally found one. So about a month and $400

    I finally could drive my TC. I drove it probably a couple of thousand miles over the next several months,

    then the trans let go in a big way at about 75mph. Parked it for several months, then acquired another

    identical one with some cosmetic damage, the idea being to make one from two. That kinda fell by the

    wayside because I had other projects and also realized most TC's are worth little or nothing. I did some

    parting out before deciding to send them to the scrapper. When we exposed the trans coolers we saw

    that the oem one was 24" with 4 tubes. All tubes including bends were enclosed in the cooling fins. When 

    looking at the "equivalent" aftermarket unit we found it was a 12" 4 tube unit with only the straight parts of

    the tubes enclosed in the cooling fins. 

     

    My question for the experts is is the smaller, less efficient aftermarket cooler sufficient to cool the trans 

    with the turbo inline 4. Also it was installed with two wire ties and just kinda hanging there at an angle. 

    I know that even at 60mph the engine was over three grand, so the trans was getting a workout. 

    Could the smaller cooler possibly be the reason for my trans breaking after only a couple of thousand miles.

     

    thanks, john
