Re: [DML] Auto tranny cooler

["A.H. MacIntosh & Co." <dmc12@xxxx>]

proper flow would be to route the hot fluid from the trans, through the
stock oil/water exchanger, then into the supplemental cooler, and back to
the transmission. Not to use only the supplemental cooler alone. One of the
reasons the fluid was routed through the radiator mounted cooler was to
insure the transmissions quick warm-up, and to provide a stable minimum
temperature. The heat exchanger in the radiator is jut that, not a "cooler"
alone, but also a "warmer". Besides, the thermal transfer efficiency of the
oil/water exchanger is far better than any hooptie-hotrod oil/air 19.95
wal-mart special. It may be a good idea to use one of the supplemental
coolers equipped with it's own fan will avoid needing to block the already
too small radiator.
