Go to www.summitracing.com Tell them what tranny you have and what you plan to do with it, they will probably be able to hook you up. I have a '95 GA with a 4T60E, and on the THIRD one, i went with an 8 row (!!) heavy duty truck cooler. It is roughly a little more than half the size of my whole freak'n A.C condenesr. Thats a little overkill, yes, but you get the idea, heat=bad!! on the 660 automatics.

Why not go one step further and impress him with a dual circuit cooler (the one I would buy). It has one circuit to cool the tranny fluid, and one to cool the engine oil. Here is the link to one with a fan on the summit website. You will also need a andwichadaptor for the engine oil. That is the next link.

Or if you only want a Tranny cooler with no fan, this one should work.

Hope this helps you out.

I have had a Hayden setup installed in my car for over 3 years now and haven't had any problems. I wish I could find the PN for the kit I got. It was a combo tranny and oil cooler (although 2 seperate coolers instead of a single unit performing both) and came with everything that I needed to install it (including the sandwich adapter). Installation was quick and easy. I'm pretty sure O'Reilly Auto Parts and/or Pep Boys carries Hayden, so you might look there. Ok, just looked, and Pep Boys does in fact carry Hayden parts, so that could at least give you a starting place to look.

get him a summit external/remote transmission filter kit as well. its like 30-40 bucks. it catches all the small miniscule shit the internal filter misses.

Another great idea.

You need to talk to my wife! I remember, when we first started dating, she was thinking about getting me a set of fuzzy dice and a steering wheel cover, because she knew I was into cars. She ended up getting me a gift card to an auto parts store instead (thank you!). The Christmas before we got married, she bought be new tires for my car as well.

But now that we are married....

you know........ my birthday is tomorrow and i am singal :P











(sorry, j/p)

thats cool that you are actually taking time to care about what he wants and actually get him something he wants instead of something stupid he will never use

[gtpgirl]

well im sure he'd complain if i got him something he couldnt use.. or didnt want... so this way ... ill keep him quiet and entertained for a while

[geldartb]

not tyring to hijack but out of the 25 or so sandwich adapters that come up for oil coolers which do you recommend. temp controlled would be nice too

[bszopi]

The Hayden one (which came in my kit and is also available seperately) is temperature controlled.

well im sure he'd complain if i got him something he couldnt use.. or didnt want... so this way ... ill keep him quiet and entertained for a while

well my dad got me vodka (with more stuff to come later on in the week from what he says ) and my best friend did a lil show for me () so no complaining here either


its been a pretty good birthday... prolly the best ive ever had so far

Then you can get Oil Temp gauges, both in Trans Temp and Oil Temp engraved on the lens or have a custom label made for our ody series gauges.

Customs welcome.
