The other day I noticed my transmission cooling lines are wet not leaking but wet. So I need to change them.
I was wondering if adding a second cooler like the one behind the cab on the frame on Freightliners would help?
I belive u have the cooler. So I would come out of the trany to the cooler behind the cab then to the cooler in front of the radiator then back to the transmission. It would only cost me the extra lines and fittings.
Would it be worth it?

If its staying at temp.. why add more places for things to leak later?

Gotta remember 1 thing if the oem thought it needed a second cooler they would have added 1 from the factory. By the time you go to the back to go to the front you add capacity to the lube system.

If it ain't broke...Don't fix it

There's really nothing inside a typical manual/automated manual transmission that would really see any benefit from a slight reduction in oil temperature. Its all gears and bearings. I don't think you'd see a gain in life from the range synchro either.
Now if we're talking an Alison automatic then a little extra cooling capacity wouldn't be terrible. Those are true autos with torque converters and clutch groups. They don't care much for high heat.Dave_in_AZ and earnies2 Thank this. -
