Trans cooler pump?

Postby 99Super » Fri Mar 30, 2007 10:32 am

With the addition of the new Quaife, I think it's time to install a tranny oil cooler. The lines will be custom (easy) and the cooler can be an old 900 oil cooler (easy), but what to use for the pump? What has been used in the past? Any thoughts?

I have been looking into doing this for sometime now. I haven't had the finacial resources to go out and buy a 12V real axle pump.

Some say a gear type fuel pump will work and are cheap at the junkyark. I haven't tried it yet.

Here is a dedicated pump http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=8072615257&rd=1,1

Maybe my next project as well.

John,
Dennis here, I used a Mocal diff pump. 190ish, but it's made for the job. Gregg Cronn used a in tank Bosch fuel pump. Here are some links:
