Easy way to remember: the two fluids flow in opposite directions--coolant flows down, trans fluid flows up.
If you want to mount the temp sensor in the cooler line to read max temp, it should go in the bottom line (fluid TO cooler)
so trany flow up. ok sensor in bottom line.
now nother questions. i am putting a tranny cooler on. do i bypass the stock on all together. of do i go trany- after market- stock -tranny or the other way. tranny - stock - after market- tranny.
and why does the sensor go in that set up?
thanks

Whether you bypass the cooler in the radiator is up to you.
If you use both coolers, put the aux cooler in the line out of the radiator, the top line.
The temp sensor should still go in the bottom line before any coolers.
So it's transmission>temp sensor> stock cooler> aux cooler> trans.
I just remembered this:

As far as operation. I put a new radiator in my one ton truck with a 4L80E so I connected the radiator cooler back into the circuit and didn't really see any difference. I live where it never gets very cold though too. If you live where it gets very cold often you might want to keep the radiator cooler in the circuit.
My A4 camaro has an M6 radiator so I have a stand alone cooler, it seems to work ok.
Of all the vehicles I've built up and driven I can say running it through the radiator cooler doesn't really do much that I've noticed.
