Intercooler for Cefiro Gearbox

bro i think u meant oil cooler for the transmission oil is it...intercooler is for cooling the air coming from turbo towards the intake...
ya...some oil cooler stick behind the radiator that cools the transmission oil. Some also integrated with the radiator....top for water below for oil..
One thing for sure, intercooler is for cooling compressed air.

Maybe what he meant was really an intercooler for the tranny which can go pssshh whenever it changes gear. Pun intended and no offence.
The tranny cooler is located in front of the radiator. Pop the hood and look at the gap between your bumper and radiator. It should be small, has "fins" and looks metallic. Also should be on your left side if facing the front of your car. Hope this helps.

Also, tts possible to replace the small tranny cooler with a larger one. The saying goes that for every 10 degrees Celsius drop in tranny temp, your tranny's lifespan increases by 20%. Bear in mind there is a point of diminishing returns. Don't slam in a cooler as big as the radiator and think your tranny can now last forever.
mafia bro...even with intercooler for gearbox, there wont be pppppphhhhhhhsssssshhhhh sound le...MafiaRide said:

Meh, sorry yeah don't take it to heart guys :P
I don't think stock ceffys (even 20DET ones) come with tranny coolers, anyhow you don't need them on manual boxes unless your car sees a lot of track time. Tranny coolers usually aren't mounted in front of the radiator, especially not in forced induced applications, because FMIC -> tranny cooler -> condenser -> radiator = fuked airflow. Best place for them to be mounted would be behind the air dams, tranny cooler on one side oil cooler on the other. Just don't give the gearbox unnecessary torque or do 5k launches and it'll live. :P

bro skyther...thats much better. 
anyway, another option to place the tranny cooler would be on the front left or right side of ur bumper, but of course there must be a hole so air go through...

well, cefiro gearbox is quite ok, just that adding in the intercooler for the gearbox helps to cool the gear oil, prolong gear oil changes and reduces the wear and tear..that's about it, i guess..this was advised to me by my friend who is a mechanic and owns a cefiro
If that's the case, I will need to go teardown the mech shops I've asked and also hack into the webpages of the websites I've looked up and remove the false info and end up in jail for hacking. Rather than calling names, just point out the mistake as I'm really a mechanic by profession and I say what my mech tells me. Isn't that what this forum is all about, knowledge sharing. For all you know, the previous owner of the car already put in a tranny cooler in mine, hence I assumed it is stock. Finally moderator, please do not allow little kids to join forums as they misuse their "privilege".
As for the psshhh sound, it was just a joke as someone called it an intercooler and just put in a bof you get that sound. Didn't I mention it was "pun intended" or you didn't know that "pun" is another work for joke intended and not to be taken seriously :-)
What is this world coming too nowadays
