Default A/C condenser as tranny cooler?? any thoughts?

Has anyone tried this? I figure it would be an interesting mod to do and may help a lot more with cooling. Any ideas or responses from people who have tried this?

I think the main issue would be flow... maybe not. I have never flow tested one.

i know several people that have used the round tube type a/c condensers with no problems at all, and great cooling, even with high stall converters driving around town you could come to a stop and hold your hand on the trans pan and the fluid is just slightly warm,, lots of 4x4 truck guys use them also

Do they cause any engine cooling issues?
