I wrecked my transmission driving too hard while trailering a jetski. My mechanic Ran the numbers and said it's the same transmission as the crown victoria. Is that true ? Should I add a transmission cooler ? Any one know any good heavy duty transmissions ?

Yes you should add a cooler.... yes. Plumb it so you go into the factory unit, then out to the aux unit, then back to the trans.

Call Darrin at BC, he's still a vendor here I believe. He can help.

Yes, I know exactly where you can get a quality rebuilt transmission that will hold up.

I do this for a living and am (still) a site supporting vendor.

Add a cooler regardless if you have a stock tranny or hi perf tranny. Heat is the enemy of the tranny.
