Default transmission cooler?

What are people using for a transmission cooler? I just ordered my A&A so it's time for a cooler.

There are lots out their I have a B&M cooler. Find a good size one
and watch where you install it. You will need good air flow.

If your now going FI, Get as much air into the engine bay as possible as you are adding a trans cooler and intercooler, Do the plate mod, I've done several for members, let me know if you need any help! I run twin B&Ms with no fan, about $60 from Summit or Jegs!

That looks great! I have the T/S so there is no plate. But I bet i could do something with the grill in the front for more air. Thanks for the idea. I was concerned about the rubber hoses on the coolers.

Here is the one I am running:
http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/4739-1.html

Bypass the radiator - it is not needed. You do not need to share heat from the motor too the tranny - just pull it out of the radiator and hook the lines into the cooler - one in and one out - it can go either way!

Let me know if you need some pics of how I mounted mine - this cooler is way better than the B&M, there is way more surface and it keeps the temps way down - especially since I run a 3200 stall and a Supercharger!

Thanks,Matt
