Default Transmission cooler - rear setups

For those of you that are running a transmission cooler in the back of the car, can you post pics of your setup? I have a few ideas of how to mount mine, but wanted to see if anyone would care to share their setup. TIA!

None of these are my photos or my setup, just ones that I have saved from over the years encase I ever have the spare time. These are of course for manual transmissions and may also have the differential fluid cooler included as well. Some are via mechanical pumps (like those inside the later C6 TR6060 and the C6 Z06 differential cover) some are electric pumps. Some are for race / track use only cars. Heck some are showing oil scaving electric pump mount locations for rear mount turbo kits pump, but those can also be used for transmission and differential fluid circulation pumps. Hope something here helps.

Wow! Yes, some of those are very over the top. It is also interesting to see some utilizing the rear break vents as a means to get airflow. This last one here is more what i was looking for as I have a radiator + fan that I'm looking for a home for in the rear. This shows clearances for the exhaust and other things you may not think about when trying something like this

Thanks for the input!

Mine is in the space formerly occupied by the driver's side muffler. Planning on adding a diff cooler on the other side.

One more very interesting one that I forgot, very handy if you have a C6 type exhaust setup.

I don't have a C6 exhaust setup and still have mufflers.....the exhaust was one of the biggest reasons I started this post. I knew it would be tight and just needing other ideas for mounts if i couldn't get the exhaust to cooperate
