Trans cooler installation

So drop my car off to get the trans cooler install cause I just don't have time anymore so the guy at the trans shop that the trans cooler I got is well sufishiont enough just to work by itself to cool my trans so he just ran the trans cooler alone to the transmissions is that a bad thing or okay

Yea, most trans coolers are ran like that. What size it it?

3/4x 11 11x-5/8

Yea that's fine

U got a trans temp gauge?

Do you have a Stall?
Is if bar/fin or a plate cooler?

I was also told to always use the factory radiator cooler with the aftermarket and that was from a very good trans builder and former sponsor of the site.

yup! stacked plates are a better cooler then the tube fin ones too!

I ran mine in series with the radiator side tank. The people I talked to recommended running in series. I'm running a Yank SS3600. After my first test drive around town I temp gunned the cooler (112*) rad. side tank (~140) and trans. pan (112*). So it's doing its job pretty well.

If your coolant temperature stays around 195° wouldn't that add heat to the trans through a series cooler circuit?

Unless the fluid is not moving, in which case it would be accurate ;)

The truck has factory setup, so cooler up front but also plumbed to radiator, in real cold days it helps warm the trans up and on hot days it stabilizes the trans temps. For a daily driver this may be a better method.

Car gets dual coolers, one with a fan and one up front because I would much rather the trans run cold and me baby it till its warm than add heat to an already hot running trans. Just can't be beating on it till things warm up, but thats a good rule of thumb regardless.
