    Transmission Cooler - Repair or Replace

    The P38 has a leaking trans cooler, I've got it out and spoken to the Radiator Guy, and he says the only real way of "repairing" is with some araldite.

    What do people think, repair or replace?

    I've been quoted $350 for a good 2nd handy or $500 for a new one.

    I take it that it is Aluminum cored

    Can't you buy and install a aftermarket cooler??

    I don't think I'd trust araldite, too many horror stories of transmission cooler failure on here.

    Cheers

    Definately replace it.

    The ZF runs unusually high pressures, like about 115psi and the araldite isnt good enough for that.

    Thanks guys,

    didn't really like the araldite idea. I managed to get a 2nd handy from ritters for $275.
