tranny cooler

A cooler is OK to run, but doesn't do much without some airflow running through it. The OEM's usually run an in-tank radiator cooler, and on the Heavy Duty packages add a second cooler, usually an air to oil cooler in front of the radiator. One system I saw a racer made a air to oil cooler system with a set of valves to bypass the cooler. He had a transmission temp gauge and basically bypassed the cooler until the trans got up to the temp he wanted to run at. Best of both worlds !
