Can i Do THIS

rav · Nov 6, 2003

I am getting My AX-15 bolted in to replace my peugeot right now, i have seen tranny coolers for the AW4 but not for the 5 speed, i was wondering why is it so? and can i put one on mine, any input will be appreciated.

Thanks;

um.....something about an oil pump.......

see what i mean, right?

each uses two methods of "oiling"

the auto needs fluid under pressure for its shifting.

the other one gets slung

Thanks for your reply, but can you explain it in simple terms i am not understanding what you are implying.

Thanks

Automatic transmissions use a pump to oil and shift, manual transmissions use their rotating internals to "sling" the oil around.

Manual transmissions don't have an oil pump, they just slosh the oil around with teh gears (slinging it around). In order to use a cooler you'd have to have something to pump that oil to through the cooler.

Not to mention it'd be quite the challange to pump gear oil!

and its probably not a concern, i wouldn't worry about it.

just use some quality gear oil with the recommended gl rating.

I found a huge difference when I put synthetic in my ax-15, especially in cold weather. no more crunchy 2nd gear

Interesting side note.

Someone actually makes a pump and cooler for the NV4500. These things run really hot, so a cooler helps the 18-dollar-a-quart fluid last longer.

Beez, you're running an AX-15 in your rig!? I had you figured for an AW-4 man. Or is this from prior experience?

I run the Red Line Syth in my Mustang's T-5. Nice and smooth!

It's the bend-over/no-lube price that they charge for Castrol Syn-Torq LT at the dealership. there is no other place to get Syn-Torq.

It's the only fluid that does not void the warranty on your NV4500 trans.

I run Redline MT-90NS, which is an acceptable replacement at $4.99 a quart. The bitch takes 7 quarts.
