My W126 transmission post... - cannonballSDL - 07-29-2009 "Overkill is consistently more fun." that being said, has anyone modded there stock oil pan, to hold more oil? on the drivers side it look like theres room for a small extension. maybe a quart or two extra would help keeping it cool and extending the life of the tranny fluid . Or option number 2 is. if the line that are being pointed out in the pic are the High PSI lines to the factory oil cooler. i could use a RX7 oil cooler that holds a extra quart or 2... The 2 option is to build a box out of sheet metal and weld it on and drill the 3/8 hole! Or maybe both! keep in mind that i want to stay auto and i have overheated and 86's my last tranny ending my hopes of living up to my S/n Ok so far, i have come up with 2 options for the oil pan. Option 1. use a piece of 3" exhaust pipe and square one side of it. weld a flat piece of sheet metal to both ends, and weld it to the pan... Then drill some 3/8 holes thought the pan into the exhaust pipe so the extra fluid is some what baffled... RE: My W126 transmission post... - ForcedInduction - 07-29-2009 The system already holds 8qts. I'd put an air cooler in place of the water cooler. RE: My W126 transmission post... - cannonballSDL - 07-29-2009 so are the blue lines pointing to the oil lines? and if so there going to a water/oil cooler? is soo i think thats going to be the easiest thing to doo. BTW i just pm'd u ***i confirmed that these are the oil cooler lines***
