Like the title says im thinking about getting one, If tranny man sells them then they must be good? Does it bypass the one in the radiator? I would want a trans cooler that uses both? is that possible? Reason i want one is because its been getting really hott here. I was driving around on Sunday which was like 100* and i noticed my trans temps were climbing, then i was merging onto an on-ramp and it hesitated then slipped on the downshift from 3rd to 2nd a little. I thought i might need a new trans but then i checked the fluid which was bright red but just boiling, lots o bubbles on the dip-stick. I tried ripping around at night when the temps dropped and i had no problems. I did get an over sized radiator because i thought it would keep the trans cool enough...
 


Just wondering if you have done a pan drop and filter change recently? If not get on that fasho!! Get some Dexron VI to replace the Dexron IV that is in there...and if you ain't got one...get a shift kit too from Dave...TransGo FTW!! Can't really give ya anymore insight on the cooler as I only have a stock...well...everything there. Honestly...I'd ask the source...see what Dave thinks :D
 
you can do a supplemental cooler no problem. the police impalas came with them as well as oil coolers from the factory. if i see another one, im yankin the oil cooler stuff
 
You don't want one that uses the built-in trans cooler to the radiator. The hot coolant in the radiator will only heat up the trans fluid even more. Get a stand alone cooler since that will yield you the best performance.
 
thanks guys for all the replies. I have an intense shift kit in my tranny along with amsoil tranny fluid and gm filter. What kinda cooler does everyone else use? I wanna be sure i get a really good one.
