Pacesetter Header Fitment
I put the headers on my truck in October, since then my tranny has been doing some squirly things when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd.
I was wondering if since the lines to my trans temp cooler are real close to the pacesetter headers, if they could be heating up the tranny oil too much.
Anyone else came across this when installing the headers?
This is on a 99 with a 5.3L.

I have no clearance problems with the trans cooler lines..........I did have to beat the **** out of my driver side header to clear my drive line....but the cooler lines were not an issue.

My tranny temps run about 150-160 most of the time in the summer.
I don't think the lines would conduct enough heat in that small area to make any difference.
Look at the y pipe and ask yourself with it being that close to the pan, which would heat up the tranny fluid more? (pretty much the same situation as stock)
My tranny has not done anything funny since the header install.
