latinopikachu Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 the millenia does in fact have a teeny tiny trans fluid and engine oil cooler. the trans fluid cooler is in the radiater, i believe. i shall have to research further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I can only speak for my own Xedos, but of all features picked off on the Milly, the left side radiator cooler must have been the most stupid one to remove, given the climate in a large area where the Milly was sold.

mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 dammit lat, we arent talking about oil coolers. we know all of us have it. we are referring to the TRANSMISSION COOLER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 DUMBASS... what do you think is in your transmission? WATER? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 actually, there are an ever growing number of cars that use more of less the stock radiator and some extra lines to cool the transmission cooler, alot of jeeps have this now, and frankly, I think itsd a stupid ass system. I perfer to have a dedictated cooling system. Given that when driven the millenia is driven briskly at best I would strongly perfer an aftermarket cooler. Nothing huge or anything, just something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 we are talking about a seperate tranny cooler arent we as xedos has.... Â mts, who u callin dumbass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Im talking about a seperate stand alone transmission cooler that cools the transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Oh boy, what a mess... I trust Lat in this. I'll also await mts' response when he's back home regarding the left handside OIL cooler pipes/hoses, he should be able to sort these things out under the hood. Â As for Mazda removing important features for longevity of the vehichle, this is certainly NOT how we know Mazda in Europe. Now our cars may have crappy transmissions, but here most Mazdas have a stick and have always, or at least since 1988, been building cars solid enough to be among the best.

mts Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Mazda has a very good reputation here also... except for the rebadged Fords.. they are the ones to watch for problems...especially the Tribute and later B Series. The longevity vehicle that is in high regard for being low maintenance and lasts forever is the late 80s early 90s 323. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 MTS, I think we agree in this subject  However I would like to add the 88-91 626 as well. 300000 km (well, 297000 untill he met a lady driver) on my old mans 89 626 on the same everything except two sets of shocks, one new battery and a bunch of tyres is what I call solid build. Same exhaust, same discs, oh I forgot a couple of pad swaps, same driveaxle boots, you name it. A shame he met that lady, I was going to continue that story...

mts Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 the 626s really depended on the engine and transmission combo... the 3.0L seemed to be more troublesome than the smaller 2.0 4 bannger. Again the B2000 and B2200 were bullet proof engines, and still make great trucks to get, if you can find one... these were the earlier Mazda models... before the Ford genetics.

///BHRpowered Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I concur with mts, the tributes and b seris have some problems, but te straight mazda cars have one of the best reps for quality here in NA and longevity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiTown Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 i did a hayden tranny install on my old L. very simple...no need to remove the front bumper. steps should be the same for the S. Â You should mount the cooler to the radiator (closest to drivers side to save hose) with the zip-tie straps included in the package, use a long needle nose pliers to pull them thru the radiator if you cant do it by hand. Secure them from behind with the locks(if you buy a cooler you will see what i am talking about). Â the inlet and outlet of the cooler should be mounted facing the ground. to identify which line is the inlet and outlet of the tranny turn the car on for a minute and see which line is hotter, the hotter line is the outlet and should go first into the cooler. the coolers out then hooks up to the colder line/input of tranny. you may need to buy some xtra hose at the autoparts store because you wont be able to use whats on the car and there was not enough in my hayden kit. Â Yes the us milly has a built in tranny fluid cooler in the radiator but it is only a few inches sq. thus the lines exiting the tranny. however it is not the cooler which is on european/australian models which is a true towing cooler and much larger. Â Good luck with the install it should take about 30 min. you might want to jack up the front of the car so you have more room to work.

///BHRpowered Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 so just use zip ties through the radiator I hadn't thought about that. How much fluid comes out when doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
