Default Trans cooler

I am getting an FLT level 5 transmission, and was wondering what is the biggest trans. cooler that will hook into the stock lines, or am I better off getting the biggest possible.

Can't have too big. What converter? I run the larger B&M and my temps stay low even in the hottest valley weather.

It's from flt, it's a stock one rebuilt to be stronger with anti-ballooning plates, and better clutches, and some other things I can't remember.

According to their website the 11x8" = 20,500 BTU and the 11x11" = 29,200 BTU.

Dude if you pay that much for a Trans Cooler.. im goin to come kick you in the knee...

Go to your nearest parts store and get the biggest trans cooler they have...
They usually go for about $40-50...


Here is what i have and it works with my 3000 stall.



Never mind the one thats pointed up and down...
the one behind it is my Trans Cooler.
