I'm adding a cooler and pump to my transmission. These two pumps are similar in specification and both companies have been around a long time.
Tilton: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TIL-40-524/ Mocal: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product...ial_Cooler_Pump I know several of you run Jabsco Water Puppy pumps, but I see no advantage to it over the Mocal or Tilton. Anyone out there with experience as to whether one is more reliable than the other? |

I guess I am getting old as I forgot to mention to make sure to install a filter in the pump suction. I forget the brand I used but it was one of the plate type and I would open it a couple of times a year for checking of metal pieces. If the transmission distructs it will catch the pieces and prevent the additional pain of having to replace the pump.\
If you set things up right you can use the the pump to fill or empty the transmission which I did and it is much better than using the drain plug. |

I figured on a Canton Mecca canister filter inline so it can be checked without draining, and will protect both pump and cooler. Pump to drain huh? This mod just keeps gettin' better by the minute. If installed as you suggested, the cooler will drain back into the transaxle every time the car is turned off unless there is enough tilt to keep the oil in the cooler, and/or an anti-siphoning valve is installed. I was going to position the cooling system to try and keep the stock fluid level in the box, even with the added capacity, just to perhaps avoid possible leaks. |
