[AMC-list] Was: Anyone have ...now M-3x tranny cooling

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Seems like I researched this last time it came up, maybe a year ago. The M-35 is air cooled only, the 36 and/or 37 has an extra tube inside in one corner, the 35 case isn't drilled for that tube. According to Mark, some of the 4x series were air cooled as well. Does your liquid cooled 3x have the air cooled torque converter as well as liquid cooling? If it has the big hole in the right side of the bell the answer is likely "yes". The converter has a "fan" made on it in the air cooled models, but it's not immediately recognizable as a fan. Of course a standard converter is smooth on the "back" side. I think all the M-3x series were primarily air cooled, with the liquid cooler added for additional cooling when desired/necessary (such as the heavier cars, towing, or hotter climates). Just doing a little detective work here!

Some of the 3x series are water cooled. The tranny in my 67 American is 
water cooled and I'm sure it's a 3x (perhaps 37). I do know that the 
tranny in it now was from a 68 American wagon with a 232.
