im in the process of deciding what radiator to get but, some say they are equipt w/ a tranny cooler and some are not. do i need a transmission cooler? if i get a radiator that is NOT equipt with a tranny cooler, where can i buy one and where do you guys mount them? please post pics of your set-ups and include if your radiator was equipt w/ it or you put a seperate one. THANKS!

 

if you have an auto...you need a cooler!

 

i have an AUTO! ok well can you guys post pics/advice. THANKZ!!

 

If you wind up getting a alum radiator and don't plan on running it HARD, you don't need one..

 

You will need a cooler, but it doesn't have to be built into the radiator. Many places make a stand alone transmission cooler that mounts in front of your tranny (anywhere with air flow). You can also get electric fan equipped tranny coolers.

 

what if you get an tranny cooler equipped radiator but have a manual transmission? just plug the holes and forget about it?

 

Yep. Though you can put a tranny cooler on a manual tranny if you really wanted to.

 

Yep, I have a 4 row with the tranny cooler holes in the bottom of it, and I just plugged it with two bolts. Works for me.

 

same with me and mine works just fine.

 

okay good because i just ordered an aluminum radiator with tranny holes but plan to switch to a 5 speed in the hopefully near future from my C4....
