Default transmission cooler

After purchasing a new transmission I have decided that an external cooler is a good idea.
Cna anyone suggest a location on the car for an external transmission cooler?

The only good spot I know of, is the area in front of the rad.

Ssom B&M coolers come with the special zip ties to hold them to that AC condenser.

Here's some advice that Mojo gave me in a PM. I took his advice and am very satisfied:

hehe, I never posted the info. Matter of fact I don't even think I have the '93 on my site at all.

Anyway, here's what I got from Summit Racing:

BMM-70268 $45.95

It's an 11"x7" B&M Cooler.

I just checked Summit, they've lowered the price a whopping 8 cents!

I also bought a temp gauge for the tranny, but I don't recommend the one I got from B&M, I should have got the Auto Meter one.

There should be a kit coming onto the market that includes hoses, clamps, fittings, cooler and brackets that let you attach an external tranny cooler in the PS cooler area.I will be looking forward to this but will also use a fan in front of the tranny cooler for when the car is moving slow like up twisty mountain roads. I will post as soon as I get mine. The guy's name is Evan -anyone hear of him?
For auto guys in warm climates this is the most important improvement you can make, unless you like buying trannies.
