pros: As been said your tranny lasts longer as it wont overheat the fluid, longer sevice intervals as fluid stays cleaner and cooler.
To me the pros out way the cons aint really any cons ecept they are 150-180 bucks and to cooler fluid is bad to. Essential for towing but i would have one if not towing. I have a ford factory one on my eb xr6 got it for free as i got a parts ea with the tow package and it was still in good condition. Glad i done it.

So even 'coons with even the "light duty" factory tow package already have one? Ive had this car for 6 months and still have no f**k idea what it actually has.

2 is overkill as tranny may run too cool which isent good either

Best way for a street set up is to run it through the cooler first then the radiator, as then it will help to bring it back up to temp if it cools too much.

If you still run it thru the radiator its going to be at least 90c or hotter (the temp your car runs at), my trans bloke reckons cooler the better with the btr he reckons around 70c is good but thats what he thinks anyway

heat is the biggest killer of transmissions. If your contemplating on doing any spirited driving or towing, its a must.
A worthwhile investment.

Apart from some BA's which seemed to have an issue with this in 90% of the cases it is due to the radiator reaching the end of its lifespan due to use (or abuse) rather than any flaw of the design. taxi 5L wrote: If you still run it thru the radiator its going to be at least 90c or hotter (the temp your car runs at), my trans bloke reckons cooler the better with the btr he reckons around 70c is good but thats what he thinks anyway ....phill Yeah he is right. Mine used to run consistently around 80-90 running through tranny cooler/radiator. They were only daily drivers though that rarely saw any hard driving so this application suited me. If you were placing load pretty consistently on the tranny then would be better off running a stand alone cooler.

Derale make massive coolers for a good price, or a smaller heavy duty PWR cooler will work fine as well
