Tranny cooler? Ok so if I put the tranny cooler in front of the air conditioning condersor will the stock fans be able to pull air and help cool the fluid while my car is in heavy traffic? or is dope style better?
Well since dope style gives you no air flow sitting in traffic, mount it in front of the condensor. Even if the fans do not pull alot through it is more then dope style because that only lets air flow across it when you are moving.
not to any great degree since air still passes through it and the trans temp is generally much cooler than the engine

I guess there are pros and cons to either location. Dope style no moving air sitting still, condenser mount heat sink with the AC on, etc. FWIW I mounted mine Dope style back in January '03 (cause of FTRA), use AC most of the time - no problems.

instead of putting it in front of everthing. look into a trans cooler with a fan attached and a thermostat for it to come on automatically. that way you can mount it anywhere.
this is what i plan to do
