Trans Cooling

[TURBOGTA1]

JUST PICKED UP ANOTHER GN THAT HAS A BIG AFTERMARKET TRANS COOLER, AND AN ALUMINUM 4 CORE RADIATOR WITH NO TRANS COOLER IN IT!!! TRANS LINES RUN STRAIGHT INTO FRONT MOUNT COOLER!!! I THOUGHT TRANS LINES MUST ALWAYS RUN THROUGH RADIATOR FOR BETTER COOLING OF TRANS!!! NOT SURE IF FRONT MOUNT COOLER IS ENOUGH!!
THANKS

I checked with a few of the local trans guys and they said at least with the cooler (Big B/M race cooler)I have it would be fine to bypass the radiator. I am sure it would probably be better to run it thru the radiator as well but mine had a leak anyway so I went ahead and deleted it and it seems fine so far.

I don't use my trans cooler in the radiator and my trans never gets over 180 even with a 9" n/l TC or after a run at the track. I have a larger trans cooler I bought at Autozone. I have the dual fans also so that might help too.
