Wait, so I live in a very cold area now. Nights get as low at 25 degrees, so will that be a problem since the trans fluid wouldn't go through the radiator to warm up?

It will be fine. It just won't shift into overdrive until a little farther down the road when you first Drive it in the morning.

Ok. I always try to let things warm up anyways.

My top trans line is leleaking on my Spectra aftermarket radiator so I might go this route. Gonna make a thread about it tonight.

Cheaper, and better. Autozone has a decent kit for around $70 and it's a good sized one too. Ran that on an old Dodge of mine and never had a problem since

I'm really wanting to do this as well.

Not much help. -Never seen it done that way..until now.

The general consensus is that keeping the trans lines in the radiator will help it warm up quicker and should be kept if possible so that the trans does not run at temps too low in the winter. Most will keep that and then add the additional cooler into the system

I've always seen them added inline with the rad cooler. Old trans must've detonated badly and they didn't wanna flush the sh*t out of the lines, so quick and simple to replace it instead

Yeah they told me when I bought it that they did work to the trans. I'm not sure what tho
