Axillary Transmission cooler question

[opfor2]

About ten years ago I installed a large stacked plate axillary transmission cooler in front of the radiator and in line with the stock radiator cooler. THEN the other day I finally realized that I installed it the wrong way. The transmission fluid flows into the external cooler first then the radiator cooler. Now my question is should I change it so that the fluid goes into the cooler in the radiator first and then the external cooler or leave it the way it is?

thanks

I would say change it so it goes to the radiator and then to the external cooler.

Fluid should flow into the radiator, leave the radiator to the external cooler, then back to the transmission...

If its been working for 10 years, it ain't broke...... don't fix it

Ain't nowhere in CACA that can get "too cold".

I'd go with this too. The only reason I could see having it after the rad. is so if your motor was overheating it would help protect your tranny better.

I agree 100 % with this statement!!!! I really don't want to mess with it so I'll just leave it.

There is always much debate on this subject. I say If you drive it year round and have cold winters, leave it as is. Hitting the rad last insures the fluid is not too cold.
In hot country, I use just the cooler.

Install a tranny gauge, that will tell you what you need to do. If it always run in range then I wouldnt worry about it. If it runs too hot then you know you need to chenge it. But I would go with the aint broke dont fix it creed.

ten years ago? not broke=dont fix.

I agree...of course here in Montana, that would be the right way to install it though...
