After installing my Pacesetters and new 4L60e I noticed that my transmission cooler lines rest on the collector of the header. What would be the best way to keep them off of the header so I don't boil my fluid? Also, after I got everything installed I noticed I left the starter heat shield off, would this help to keep the trans temps down? Where does it mount anyway, couldn't find the mounting holes anywhere? Thanks in advance.

 

Anybody?

 

The starter shield just snaps on there. The tranny lines are just hard tubing bend them until they arent touching just make sure you dont pinch them. My starter shield is off and been off for about 6 months and now problems yet so i would say dont worry about it. My truck has been in mud sand hot *** weather and all and the starter is still starting my truck.

 

Keep the heat shield on your starter, the solinoid will go bad. Not fun to push your truck through the drive-thru

 

My lines touched my ASM headers too. I bent them in a few spots to move them away from the header.

 

yep thats what i did.

 

...I just bent the line that was touching the header with a flat-head screw driver. Haven't checked if it's still touching the header, but no complaints so far...what would happen if it touches the header, will the overheating cause tranny problems???

 

I seriously doubt it would cause heat problems especially if you have a tranny cooler.

 

I have heard that if it gets much hotter than 200* it can cause some damage, just want to be on the safe side with this new tranny. Thanks for all of the input guys, I think I will just bend them out of the way a little.

 

200* Is Not Bad 240* Is Not Bad Think The Factor Puts The Trans Cooler(so They Say) In The Radiator That Damn Thing Get To 220* Stock All The Time.i Have A Trans Cooler With A E-fan On It And Mine Still Runs 180* With The One On The Radiator By Passed.
For As The Heat Shield I Through Mine Away
