Default Anyone ever mount a tranny cooler under the car?

I'm considering mounting my tranny cooler under the car on the passenger side at the rear of the tranny. There is a nice indent there from something previous. I have no exhaust in that area but was curious if it's been done before and how it may work.

wont get as much air flow as it needs if it were flat underneath... made for air to pass through it but im sure it will still work it just wont be a cool as if it were in front getting all that air flow at the front of the nose of the car

I was wondering this myself. I'm about to mount mine, but most people here I see mount them in front of the radiator. My car however still has AC as well and it seems most of the posts and pics I saw were of cars that didn't. What's the best spot to mount it if the car still has AC?

Heres a pic of mine with ac. I also set the low speed fan temp down a bit so air is always moving while stopped.
Highest I've seen it was 165* with HPTuners scanning. It's got no radiator cooler either.

i mounted mine there and even with 2 of the standard B&Ms there, it got HOT at idle because of no airflow. I bought another B&M that has a fan and thermostat on it. It works like a CHARM!!!! Highest temp i have seen is 194deg...4000#...3.08 rear and tbrake really put my tranny thru a workout. I grounded the ground wire to the frame/body and ran the hot wire to the big wire/lug on the starter since it is sitting there doing nothing once the car is started. 194 degrees was on a mountain cruise but i am very happy with it like that
