Anyone here run a seprate trans cooler or know of one?
I know our cars often have mixture problems between the trans and coolant fluids when the radiator fails. Has anyone here run a larger external trans cooler to prevent this from happening and for extra trans cooling? I've search but havnt seen much.

I have an 03 and I'm considering doing something similar. Judging by the size of the coolers on 04 and newer I think I would do something a bit smaller than this install. But it doesn't look to bad to do...

Hey Shardul - My headers are first..lol! I have the ball flanges, o2 bungs and collectors...just waiting on the mandrel bends. This weekend I'm planning on dropping the exhaust and building the jig - but I'll look into the fitting while I'm under there and see what is needed.

Oh yes - they will work perfect! Just need to hog them out to fit the 1.75" tubing. Ended up going with 1.75" to a 3" collector and I will run it right to the top of the cat...
