A340 Cooler circuit?

Dub: Are you 100% sure on this? 
(it'll save me making a mess if you are but I need to be sure as the filter I"m using has antidrainback and I can't rearrange the hose once cut)

Damnit IJ...I'm glad I went out and looked. My CRS is acting up again. :3d_frown:
It's the forward fitting that's pressure!
BTW - these make outstanding tranny filters:

CRS?
LOL logic tells me the front one should be it being close to the convertor but it's bolted to a 7M so I wanted to check
Looks like I'll fill it and pull the hose and crank it a bit.
I'm using a normal remote adaptor with a z89 shorty mounted behind the rear bumper for easy mess free access (don't even have to jack it up)
I figure with the Pan filter I don't need a whole lot of extra filter to be safe.
Thanks for looking!

CRS = "Can't Remember Sh*t"
I know it's the forward one...I routed from there, to the filter, to the cooler, back to the tranny. I flushed the tranny once already and I removed the hose between the filter and cooler...pumped it right out of the hose to the pan.
That Trasko is a by-pass filter, it only pulls off a small amount of ATF at a time and filters it down to the 1 micron level. Since most of the fluid is by-passed, there is very little (if any) pressure drop. Works really well...the pan filter gets the big stuff, this one gets the rest. With tranny fluid, the filters will go 10K easy before you have to replace

LMAO I knew that but my CRS kicked in
Thanks I'll plumb the rest up today and fill it with fluid!
The extended Lokar dipstick should make this job easier.

I installed a large Setrab cooler on mine, worked great.
You can kinda see it in the bottom right hand corner. lol

Matt: Cool

Next Q: Does anyone know for sure the 340's Oil capacity from dry?
(TRSM is wrong)

IJ. said:Ok 100% confirmed!
Front fitting is supply rear is return.
(not that I doubted you Dub)
Don't blame ya IJ...I would have checked too
Dub: Glad I did
(The 340 has an over pressure bypass in case the cooler is blocked but I would have been scratching my head why it was running so hot)
Interesting warning on the Toyota Type I-V Oil can "Prolonged contact with skin causes cancer in animals"

You're not soaking your feet in that stuff are ya
Yeah, the A340 doesn't like to run hot...post pics of the plumbing when you get a chance.

I filled the torque converter with almost 1.5 qts iirc.
5 more after it was installed...ran and added as required to cold level. Took more over the next few days when checked hot.

I tipped 8 litres in and figure the Cooler, filter and 9 metres of -6 hose should make it pretty close then
If needs be I'll bleed some off once it's running.

That's true...forgot your ran those lines all the way to the rear!
All the air needs to work itself out too...takes a few days.
When I added the filter, it took an additional 3/4 quart too

I bought 10 metres of hose so just made it
I figure the rest of the system will bleed up fairly quickly and the cooler circuit might take a few days but my driveway is steep so if needs be I'll leave it idle there.
