Default Adding transmission cooler

1989 stock. Automatic transmission

i want to add an oil cooler after having my transmission rebuilt. Any suggestions on which one to buy, and how difficult is one to install?

thanks in advance

Mike

IMVHO:

In a temperate area you can kinda just throw the recommendations out the window and get one that fits well. Hard to go too big in Texas, although that CAN be an issue if you get far enough north.

I got mine through my supplier. The biggest one that fit. It's a Hayden, which isn't a real expensive brand, and it seems fine.

I can't remember the part# but is is very similar to this one.
Amazon Amazon

Strapped it to the condenser and it seems fine.

I use a small B&M stacked cooler which is relatively small and very efficient. Heat is a transmission's enemy. If you can keep it cooler, it should last longer.
