I tried driving the car home yesterday in 2nd gear. Still got hot... so I guess I can't blame the 3.23 gear. Next I'll try the 2nd cooler since I have it already. If that doesn't doesn't work then I'll try taking the blanket off just to make sure it's really the problem.
I used to run my 11 second 340 duster around with a MUCH looser converter then this one, and it had an even smaller cooler. Gotta either be the blanket or something wrong in the trans.
Scott do you think that the exhaust is doing it...
might rap the exhaust right at the trans as a test....
I am going to add a couple of holes to my firewall
to get some air going through there... but yours is
open so that wouldnt be your issue

What size is the transmission line? What is the ID of the fittings going into the transmission?
If the line or the fittings are small then there you go. I ran #4 lines with aluminum fittings into the transmission. Big mistake. The aluminum fitting for 1/8" pipe is too small. Switched over to steel and drilled them out a little more. Plus I run #6 line now. These little things can make a huge difference.

My trans line is 3/8" OD(5/16"ID)its a 518 trans and
yes I drill the fittings... in Scotts case he has
5/16 OD... unless he changed it .... my cooler has
3/8 inlet outlets so it should be ok... I would like
to do a flow check to see how its flowing

No it's got a Griffin aluminum, so it's only using the aftermarket cooler for the trans.
You don't have enough cooling capacity with just the aftermarket cooler if the car is street driven
No problem here w/just a little b&m honey-comb cooler mounted in ft. of and BELOW the radiator NOT mounted to it............never see above 180 yet and I live in the desert and that`s w/a blanket.
Are you running the same stall convertor , tire size and 3.23's ?
