Transmission cooler suggestions....

[no1uknow]

Any suggestions on a good cooler for my soon to be rebuilt 700r4?

Some folks here have discussed using an air conditioner condenser. Especally if you don't run AC.
Its already got the mounts, it is larger than a lot of them, and it should have no problem with either temperature or pressure.

Quite a lively discussion ensued about over-cooling the tranny oil, especially during winter.
Don't know if a consensus was ever achieved.
Also, whether to leave the original radiator cooler in the circuit and whether to put it ahead or behind was debated.

Someone here ought to remember that thread and can post a link.

Interesting, would love to see that thread, it's hot here so over cooling wont be an issue summers are 110+ winters are about low 60s so that wouldnt be an issue.....

Ok, here is the original thread, shorter than I remembered.

But, I think that is because I merged it with this one in my mind.

i think it ended up being cooler-radiator-trans for cold climates and
radiator-cooler-trans for warm areas

Long stacked plate coolers is what I"m using, and agreed with running them in series, after the radiator cooler, then a fillter then to the stacked plate cooler.
