Re: Trans cooler
I have a cooler very similar to this one:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-70297/overview/
It works great, and would be easy to install anywhere without having to worry about adequate air flow on the cooler.

Re: Trans cooler
Just get the b&m large cooler with braided trans lines from rpm unless you wanna make yours....I also got a derale trans pan + extra 2 qts in pan and it has a drain plug on it....my builder told me that if you can change your trans fluid often do it because transmissions love clean fluid and the drain plug is a definite just my opinion ...Trans temp gauge and I'd say now with the setup I have even when I beat on it the trans does not get above 150° ....I consider that excellent ....whereas with the stick setup it was running in the high 190° even into the 200° + range on a hit summer day.

Re: Trans cooler
Not to hi-jack this thread but I've been doing searches on trans coolers to see what people are doing and there's quite a bit of variety as far as the way people are going with different trans coolers. Doesn't seem to be a "favorite" that people are endorsing. I've even read that people are leaving the factory trans cooler alone and supplementing on top?
I would think you'd replace the factory trans cooler with a larger one but is there just a simple replacement trans cooler that can go behind the grill that won't stick out like a sore thumb but is larger? RPM has a reasonable one as far as price goes but it mentions nothing about factory plumbing or fittings matching up. I know I need one just don't want one that will give me installation headaches.
