id likd to know the best tranny cooler to put on a mark viii seeing that my 302k mark dont have a aftermarket one and whats the easiest way to install one
Not unless you have an entire spare front clip laying around
And yeah, 300k is about time to shop for another Mark
i bought it with that many.miles and it has a nice shudder with od on with it off its fine
just remember that the return line is the on the top of the factory cooler
I hooked mine up backwards :shifty:
no no, I meant that I put my aftermarket cooler before the factory cooler when I thought I was doing it the other way. One of these days I'll get it switched around.I'm gonna guess that it was backwards at the trans..but even there, that must've been a fight to get the fittings to seat
At 300k if that is the original tranny a fluid change may be the death of it. All the friction material will be gone with the old fluid.
should i do the band aid fix by replacing the 1-2 shift accumalator while i change the fluid and filter
That's not a band aid fix its a fix of a part that's broken most of the time, like mine was.
Then you talk to not so smart people. A cooler is always nice because heat kills tran's. Also band aid fix means its a temporary hack fix. Changing a BROKEN part with a NEW part is the way all proper repairs are done. You most likely have a broken spring in the 1-2 accum and also FORD made new improved accum to replace old one. I think if FORD made the change its the way to go.everyone says its a bandaid fix here the tranny shops wont do that or add a cooler because they even say its a band aid fix
