What can I do with a hot standard transmission? Any cooling suggestions?

This thing gets way too hot. I might try a synthetic tranny fluid but I cannot imagine it'll cool it that much.

 

You can add an auxiliary transmission cooler in addition to the built in factory cooler in the radiator. I'm on my phone so i can't search for you and provide you a link but search "transmission cooler" or "tranny cooler"

Drive into puddles

I thought you couldn't cool a manual transmission.

 

How do u know it's getting too hot?

 

O Idk about manual.

 

I can feel it through the carpet, my centre console, and sometimes my stick shift. The **** stays cool though.

 

Oh... You didn't include your specs so I just assumed. I don't really know about manuals. Forget I said anything haha

 

That isn't necessarily abnormal. Not all that heat comes from the trans either. Still, if your fluid is in poor condition, changing it may cool things off some.

 

I stand corrected.

 

*facepalm*

He said he has a manual transmission.

And I agree with changing the fluid

 

Alright. I'll try changing the fluid.

 

you ever think maby theres a bad bearing in there to cause the transmission to heat to such high temps??? maby theres something binding
