Mine is a RV sized cooler, the one rated for passenger vehicles was a joke, then I got one for a truck and it was still small, so I got the largest one the parts store had, its pretty damn big, and using my mounting method it still does not touch. I usually see around 150 degree trans temp, thats with it passing through the radiator first then through the cooler. Next time I am under the car I will get some measurements and pictures.

mounting the trans cooler out back like so,did you have to modify the pump so you had enough pressure to compensate for the extra lines plus cooler?
there would be most defiantly a pressure drop.
