Tranny cooler 'kits' with cooler, fan, thermostat.... Wondering what you guys think about the following tranny cooler kits (I have two setups here, but if you know of others, please post links).
One is a stacked plate, one is a tube and fin. One is complete, one you have to assemble.
OPTION 1: B&M Kit (mfr site first, then vendors descriptions)
B&M
Jegs
Summit
OPTION 2: Electra-Cool (not a kit per se, must buy parts separately)
Cooler + Fan Assembly
Thermostat

They both look nice, but you could do the same thing
with a couple of surplus 12V PC cooling fans and an
hour with the tin-snips and pop-rivet tool, to your
existing cooler....

Even if I did, I don't think I'd want to use some fans that are supposed to live inside of a computer, and expose them to the elements.

1) more cooling capacity for a given physical size.
2) plates are designed to flow less when cold so there is less cooling when your tranny is below operating temp and full flow once operating temp is acheived. Tube & Fin has full cooling from the moment the car starts up. This is more important in cold climates than Southern CA, but it is better to have your tranny warm up quickly if flog the car on the street.
