Charlie,
Call Glen @ Transgo ASAP! (626) 443-4953. Im sure he can help. My dodge
dealer's service manager strongly reccomended putting a trans cooler on ANY
new 500/518/44/46 type 4 sp trans that does not come stock with a cooler. he
said they get lots of failed transmissions in, most caused by overheating!
