Default C4 trans cooler ??

I have a 1 foot by 10 inch trans cooler Id like to install .
Should I eliminate the cooler in the radiator ? or tie it in as an auxillary cooler ?
Not sure how much the radiator holds .
Will the water take heat out of the trans fluid ?
I have seen 300 degree oil temps on long runs .
have a 160 thermostat and a clean radiator .
Just doing HSAX...
I have no idea of trans temps .
Thanks ...Opinons


86 L98 Very stock

I've made a few threads about cooling the trans. Search them up for more info. Running it through the radiator is good. Here is my current setup, oil on the left and ATF on the right:

It was fun! This MR combo spins so much that I was running hot. It's so awesomely different to rev up high compared to the little stock intake. If you click on my handle in my profile you can display just my threads. definitely put in a temp sensor. Cool through the radiator (a big one would be best with an actually good ATF radiator) and then into a large stacked plate cooler.
