Transmission Cooler

I have been looking at an aluminum rad to replace my crusty old stock rad. The rad I want to get has no trans cooler inlets. Will I have any issues running a seperate trans cooler on a mostly stock engine? My concern would be the tranny fluid not getting to proper operating temperature.

You can get thermostats as well as filters to splice inline. Lots of people run a trans cooler with a stock engine/tranny combo.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Put a tranny cooler in front of the radiator and run the lines to it. I had my AOD like that for a long time.....or get a different radiator.
