    Trans. cooler question

    I'm installing an external cooler to my automatic transmission, which cooler line runs to the cooler, and which line returns to trans. I believe if I run the hot fluid to the top of the cooler and let gravity do its thing, it will be much easier on the trans. Thanks, Bob

    I'll spare you the gory details. What you're looking at is the aftermath of my own stupidity:banghead:.

    Dumb Question re: master cylinder

    I'm converting from single suicide master to power discs up front. Is it neccessary to put a gasket between the booster bracket and the firewall or does that thin metal plate with the rubber boot in it act as the gasket?
