Default Transmission Cooler

and some questions / ideas:

I know that the B&M trans. cooler is one of the good ones out there. Importing one isn't a good idea right now.. I have to change my radiator, I would be getting one 3-ROW from another car or rather a truck and cut it down and I don't want the transmission lines cooler in my radiator.


So, can an A/C condenser or a small radiator be used to cool the trans. oil? I have one A/C condenser lying around in my home, I thought of using that.. modification options are almost unlimited in this case.. Your suggestion guys? I can get a small radiator, condenser so thats not a problem..

Hi, I did something similar on my 74 blazer and it worked well for me. Gotta just make sure the condenser is thoroughly cleaned out. That's just my opinion but I'm sure there will be others helping you out also with their opinions. Good luck...Tj

oh, and does the radiator needs to have wider lines than normal? by 'normal' I mean the ones that are for water to flow...
