Default tranny cooler kind of hot?
I don't have A/C so I mounted my trans cooler in front of the radiator.

The trans cooler itself gets kind of hot..like the radiator? Is that bad? Should I mount it somewhere else?

Ok..I was just getting paranoid I guess...It's a big cooler, but never used an aftermarket cooler before.. didn't know what to expect.

If I were you, I would try and pull it off the radiator.. Try and zip tie it to the center brace or something. It might stay a little cooler if its up off the radiator.

Yeah, I think I'm going to do that before I take it to the track.
