Default Transmission oil cooler any suggestions?

so i took off my tranny cooler today, the after market on that was put on by the guy i bought the jeep from. he said it was thrown in for free when he bought the radiator and the people said it was a prototype and just wanted feedback on it. well it leaked. i think one of the welds on it was bad thats why it had a small leak, so i bypassed it and id like to put on a new one but im not sure what direction to go. ive seen alot of the ones that mount in front of the radiator but the one i pulled off was mounted under the bumper basically. it was cylindrical and it was curious because the place it was it in it didnt seem like it would get much air to cool it but i guess it did. anyways my question is what kind of tranny cooler should i get?
thanks

I've been looking at the ones at Autozone and from what I've heard they're pretty good. Think I'll be doing it soon so hopefully I can let you know from personal experience.

Just installed a B&M 70264 cooler on our '98 XJ. Went from the stock cooler in the rad, to the B&M, then back to the tranny.

unless you have a small fan to mount with it, itll be very ineffecient without suffecient air moving over it.

+1, B&M recommends mounting cooler in direct airflow for 100% effectiveness.

yeah ive looked at the ones from autozone and napa and they are the ones you mount in front of the radiator im thinking about doing that but i wasnt sure if anyone had another alternative that may be more efficient.
no rdplz let me know what you think of it what you get thatd be great
djb383 how does yours perform it doesnt restrict airflow to the radiator at all?
