Copy that Gav. The Derale Oil Cooler is tested to 250 psi. I have researched the 6L80E.com website and there is no mention of pressures leaving the box. Me thinks that the only way I can establish the outgoing pressure from the transmission lines into the cooler would be to temporarily fit a gauge to the inlet side of the transmission line where it enters the cooler and actually measure the pressure this way. Any ideas on this proposal?

I know that there is a **** load of pressure created within the box. The first time I drove it, we failed to remove a yellow plastic plug from around the transmission breather pipe which is located on the upper rear portion of the box. After a few kilometres, the plug blew out with such force, that it dislodged the metal cradle which holds my sound system in place by around 6cms. The air release was similar to a truck dropping its air brakes.
