Thanks! It wasn't bad, I just set it up in the garage so I could take my time and worked on it as I found some free time. Overall it wasn't too complicated and it has helped a ton with temperature. I'm in GA so it gets pretty hot here and it hasn't seemed bothered at all even on the track. Good luck if you decide to tackle it.
Hey Raymond, fantastic video for me. Very helpful. Based on your guidance I pulled the trigger on buying this Mishimoto transmission cooler for my 2022 GT, even though Mishimoto says it won't fit (CJ Pony parts DOES indicate fitment through 2023). Anyway, everything was going according to plan when I hit the interference between the transmission cooler lines and the A/C line that you talked about. I saw in the comments from a couple of years ago that you never bothered with trying to have the A/C line re-routed or anything so as to properly get the condensor tab to fit into the slot on the radiator. Have you still had no issues? Has your A/C kept working alright for the last couple of years, lol? I'm going to sleep on it a bit before buttoning the car back up and taking my chances as you did, but I thought I would ask if you have any more wisdom to share now a couple more years down the road. Like you, my transmission keeps getting too hot on track, and I'm getting tired of cutting sessions short, etc. Had to try something.
Hey, thanks for watching! I actually sold the car a little while back and looking for another project. But after the install, I did drive it quite a bit and tracked it several more times and there was never any issues for me. The way it is wedged in there, I wasn't too concerned about there being an issue, and me personally, I never had one. The cooler did help on the track, but on days that were extremely hot (90+) it was still hard to keep it cool. The problem that I saw and researched is that the thermostat in the transmission doesn't open until it's already so hot, that's it's hard for it to bring it back down quickly. But overall, I still thought it was worth it and helped. Good luck with yours!!
Could you have installed the trans cooler under the car & did you have any issues with the rubber lines with the hose clamps popping off the transmission lines do to the high pressure of the transmission fluid
Hey, do you mean accessing it and installing from the bottom side under the car, or am I misunderstanding? If so, I don't see how you could, not saying you absolutely can't, just that I think it would be very difficult. The way it's bolted to the radiator and everything slides in from the top, I don't think they would be a way to do it from the bottom side. I tracked the car multiple times after this upgrade and never had a problem at all with the lines, leaks, etc. everything held up great. Hope that helped.
I'm with you now! I suppose anything is possible, but I think you'd have a hard time getting it mounted at the right angle back there or underneath somewhere, in order to keep enough air flowing through it to keep things cool. Then you'd have to worry about rerunning the lines too. I had the GT500 front bumper and had thought about moving it to the air intakes in the corners, but never did because this worked out well. Good luck with whatever you decide!
I believe so. I did all three at the same time, but you could do one, two, or all three if you wanted. My car wasn't a PP2 so it just had the standard radiator, and I think it would've been fine. Good luck with it if you go that route! Thanks for watching.
Hey, so you had to drain the transmission fluid? And how did you fill it up again? I'm new to this but want to do the same thing to my car please and thank you.
You don't have to drain the transmission fluid, it's only pumping once the car is running and warmed up. If I remember correctly, it didn't even leak or drip much when I disconnected the cooler from the lines. The trans cooler adds an additional 3/4 quart capacity so you will have to top it off. The procedure to check the fluid is a pain in the butt, so I took it to the dealer to have them check it after I was done. Hope that helps.
I'm going to be installing all 3 of these on my 5,000 mi ess tuning supercharged mustang real soon. I already have a 170° tstat and tuning to support that. My factory oil cooler failed and was putting oil into my antifreeze,not enough to ruin my engine thank god.
@Raymond Lamb Great video, I know you need to top up additional coolant and oil for installing the the mishimoto radiator and oil cooler. Did you have to top up additional transmission fluid when you installed the trans cooler? Thanks
Hey, thanks! You are correct, had to add more coolant and I think the system now holds another quart of oil as well. I couldn't quite remember about the transmission fluid as I had that and the rear diff fluid changed at the dealer at the same time. But I went back to Mishimoto website to verify and it does say you'll need an additional 3/4 quart of transmission fluid for the upgrade. Hope that helps!
I believe so, I just checked the link to their site, and they even confirm that because of the oil cooler setup it allows for larger supercharger heat exchangers. You could email them to be sure, but I think you'd be good. The transmission and radiator are the in the stock places, so that shouldn't interfere with anything. Thanks for watching!
Hello. I'd like to purchase the oil cooler upgrade. This fit plug and play in the 2019 GT? Do you notice better refresh on high rpm stress? I have the A10. Engine temperature is ok in ever mountain tour
Hello, the kit is plug and play but it does take some work to get all the stock stuff off to swap it over. I noticed a huge improvement in reduced temperatures on and off the track and it would cool down much quicker after a session. Keep in mind though, I did all three at the same time while it was all apart, so I can't comment on how the oil cooler was just by itself. Good luck with it if you go that route, take care!
@@RaymondLamb thank you so much. Mishimoto don't reply my email. I will purchase it,with a thermostat and steel brake tube, to improve the performance on mountain roads
Hi Raymond how did you set your fans to come on at 170 ? Were you able to do it yourself or pay a tuner to do it? If you did it yourself could you explain how to do it thanks.
I had a custom tuner that I talked about in the linked video. I was able to talk to the guy that writes the tunes, and he customized it uploaded to the cloud and I loaded it in the car. Then the fans cut on at 170, worked perfect. Let me know if you have other questions. Here's the video ruclips.net/video/orFylqT-H5o/видео.html
I believe I researched and looked through Forscan and couldn't find anything, talked to tuner and he said he could handle it. So just went that route, but it can be expensive just to change fans.
First off thank you for the video. I am starting with the transmission ccoler I bought the shelby cooler 43-00000 and it's not here yet but my question is will the cooling lines be able to come off the actual cooler?
Hey, they should be able to come off if it's anything like what I had. If you look at 15:50 in the video, you'll see where the stock lines are attached to the stock cooler and then you'll see the two hookups for the new cooler below it. My kit came with new lines to run that were slightly longer since the cooler is taller. Not sure what yours will be like. But yes, I believe you can take them right off the existing cooler. Hope it all goes well for you!
Peoples eyes are always on my grill when I go out it’s kinda hard to deny your modified I got it to where you can let someone do a practice run and there car is heated up and your car got unlimited pulls with out getting hot haha
Hi Raymond, thanks so much for this video - it's been a great help! I was wondering if you ever got that AC condenser line behind the trans lines? or if not, do you still think it is an issue? I have a 2018 PP1 10r80 and am about to pull the trigger on the Mishi trans cooler with stock PP1 oil radiator. Thanks!
Hey thanks for the comment. I never did change it and it has been just fine, no issues. It is not rubbing at all. Have had several track days with it on and everything working great. Everything runs so much better overall in just normal conditions too. Good luck with it when you tackle it.
I’m a disabled veteran and I’ve been thinking about getting a mishimoto radiator and thermostatic oil cooler and I wanted to see how much hp gain in a dyno I got a roush cold air intake right now and I also received long tube headers in the mail I’m ordering the radiator upgrade on the 28th and I was wondering if you could describe the benifits in power you’ve seen in heating up faster than usual running cylinder heads up to 235+ on my California special 2020 thanks man
I don't think you'll see much HP gain just by installing the cooling mods. It will however help you keep your HP longer. As the car gets hotter and temps rise, the computer will start pulling timing and you'll start losing power overall. These will help the car stay cooler longer and cool off quicker, to help keep those temps lower overall and keep more timing, and in turn keep more available power. I think you're long tube headers will add a good bit of power though! If you can add a custom tune to make full use of your intake and headers, you'll see even more. Good luck with your project.
@@RaymondLamb so I installed the thermostat 160f with the long tube headers and roush cold air intake and the thermostat alone gave me 10 hp gains I can’t wait to see what the difference is when I receive both the oil cooler and the radiator
Yeah, that inlet air can jump quickly sitting still. Mine is normally a few degrees more than outside air temps while moving, but stop for a few minutes and it rises fast. Want to try to see if I can do something to help that as well. As far as the rest, the upgrades help a ton even on and off track!
@@RaymondLamb We're broke out here. Can't throw any more money at the car for cooling upgrades.... waiting for a turbo kit and all the other goodies to arrive. She'll just be a one run type of girl for a bit.
@@ryansilverstone4637 good luck with the turbo kit, sounds like a fun project. I've been trying to get cooling and suspension all setup and then start adding more power.

@@RaymondLamb Mounting the trans cooler on the underside of the car like near the rear bumper

Would the PP1 standard radiator be compatible with the trans and forward oil cooler?

Thanks Ray for checking it out for me it would cost (estimating) $500.00 for the custom tuner to turn on the fans at 170

They only help with keeping the engine running cool but it prevents your HP dropping on back to back runs.
