I swapped from a sixspeed to a 4l80 from jakes, I am still running my 6speed radiator, and a cooler in front of it,, My trans temps are low, My gauge shows around 160-180 depending, so that tells me my cooler is doing a good job. I wouldnt trust a stock radiator to take care of my High $ performance trans setup anyway. Hope this helps.
