    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    That is super helpful and good to know! Should I be able to see the vent from looking down from the engine bay? Thanks for all the helpful info

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    The coolers worked well but ran into an issue. After the first day on the track I had some fluid leaking from the front of the trans. I believe that with the cooler full of fluid and getting on the track and getting to up to temps the trans was pretty overfilled. I got a black flag for white...

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    Completed the install and hopefully it all performs well on next track day. I had to make custom brackets to hold the coolers in place and build the AN lines. There were also a few small custom brackets to hold the oil lines to prevent any rubbing and a reroute for a front wire loom. Added a...

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    There is a wire loom behind the crash bar. I am going to have to reroute it behind the coolers to account for space with the new coolers. Have you ran into this issue or has any problems with the wire loom behind the crash bar?

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    How easy is it to swap in? Where is the thermostat for the trans? I am running a street car getting set up for HPDE and looking for some additional good tricks. Thanks

    What was the piece of metal that was used to create the bypass?

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    Does anyone know how much pressure is in the trans cooling lines when running? There are some hardline adaptors that I was thinking about using like these that would work well with the factory lines and could be an easy integration with the rest of the AN lines. These are rated to 250psi and...

    I checked with Derale and they said they did not have those brackets available separately. Thanks for the idea though.

    I will also look into those brackets because they look pretty good and nicely finished!

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    Thanks for the responses. I think I am going to try straight aluminum to mount the upper and lower cooler brackets and flat stock steel to the straight aluminum and then to the crash bar. That should account for the bends needed to mount to the curved crash bar. There are upper and lower center...

    10R80 Automatic Trans Cooling Questions

    I am starting this cooling build and would appreciate any tips on mounting everything to the crash bar and how you made the plate that mounts to the crash bar. Do you have the size to the AN fittings that you used to make the adaptors coming off the factory lines that were flared and ran to the...

    6 Piston Brembo with sticky piston and uneven pad wear

    These were the stock pads with about 16,500 miles. The leading edge was the side most worn and this was mostly on the outside pad on on passenger side. The inside pad on the passenger side was a little off but not as bad. The driver side had a pretty even wear. I was a little concerned that the...

    6 Piston Brembo with sticky piston and uneven pad wear

    I went to change my brake pads on my 2018 Mustang GT PP1 and noticed the right front caliper was wearing the pad uneven. There must be a piston that is sticking and causing more pressure to the other pistons. I didn't notice the issue until after the job was completed and I installed new rotors...
