transmission cooler upgrade?
my ws6 is basically stock with just a lid and a cut out. and is probably going to stay like that. is it necessary for me to upgrade my transmission cooler even if my car is basically stock?

Here's pics of mine. About $40 and 30 minutes and your done. I drilled holes in the frame and made some metal spacer sleeves so the cooler would stand about 4-5 inches out in front of the condensor. If you zip-tie the cooler right up against the condensor you'll create a hot spot the size of the cooler and you will drastically decrease your radiators ability to cool the coolant...because that hot *** air coming off that hot spot goes right into the radiator. When you run the A/C that hot spot will be much worse. The air going through the condensor is supposed to be ambient outside air temp. You don't really need the spacers, just bolt it to the frame if you want. I just wanted outside ram air from the air dam to go through the cooler and all around it so the hot air coming off the cooler mixes totally with the outside air before it hits the condensor.
Just my way of doing it.
