A4 tranny cooler
93 coupe, A4, that I'm making into a dedicated track car. I want to add a tranny cooler but have some questions first:
1) Is there any kind of "stock" cooler? If there is it wasn't obvious to me from my brief trip under the car.
2) If not, how will I be able to pick up the fluid and put it into the cooler and then return it to the tranny? Are there pick up points that are easily accessible?
Any documentation (pics, writeups, etc) that anyone may have or can point me to on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I use the stock AC condensor as tranny oil cooler now.
The oil first go thru the AC condensor and then thru the stock oil cooler in the radiator. That way if the oil is cooled too much (that thing is big) then it is heated back up to operating temp by the radiator. That will help cool the water some too.
