Re: Does my radiator need to have a transmission cooler?

I was told by my tranny builder not to even use the radiator transmission cooler. He said to just run an external cooler. He said he has seen coolant leak over into the trans fluid too many times.

I didn't think about that.... that makes since. I was told not to use the trani cooler so I figured I would just get one without a cooler built in it.
