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? |

Spraying on the individual gears is good, just not directly into the web where the two actually mesh together. At the very least cooling the oil, even if it's simply cooled and returned to the case, is useful.
I think a lot of testing would have to be done (more than is generally practical) to find the temperature differences in a transaxle with different cooling methods. But over time, and with methodical tinkering changing one thing at a time, a racer could get good empirical results. Oil return into all compartments is even more important on inverted 915 cases. The large oil galleries cast into the (normal) bottom of the bulkheads aren't cast through the top of the bulkheads. |
