Default tranny cooler

I just installed a 3.42 rearend and a yank ss3200 converter. I was told that I should install a tranny cooler so my a4 will last longer. What brand does anybody recommend and best place to buy one.

thanks

Most of the guys use B&M tranny coolers. Get the 24000 gvw model, you can buy your cooler from one of the sponsors. If they don't have it try Jegs or Summit.

And then mount it where?......right in front of the radiator on short standoffs?...or what?

Inquiring minds what to know. (In case I decide to get one too).

How do like the gear and converter combination? I have the same setup in boxes waiting to be installed, just wondering what to expect.
