Yeah, for automatics, I'd just never seen it done on a manual trans though. Pretty interesting I think.

thinking individual coolers may be the best choice? plus coolant temps would be better controlled not have any other lines running into it.....

I tend to agree. Mine came with both the trans and engine oil coolers in the water radiator. When I put the 416" motor in, I upgraded to the Z07 radiator and the early Z06 oil cooler. I also added the European Z51 diff cooler that ties into the trans cooler when I built mt 3:73 Quaiffe diff.
