i have a 91 Mustang LX w/ 5.0. (of course)

anyways, i ordered a Summit Racing Aluminum Radiator just recently, knowing its for manual cars. anyways, will the stock tranny cooler keep it cool enough? the one on the front of the condenser.

That isnt the stock cooler, the auto cars used the radiator as the cooler. That looks aftermarket like the B&M stacked plate cooler. If thats what it is then it'll work fine to keep ur tranny cool cuz thats what i use.

All aod equipped cars had a transmission cooler run into the rad from the factory. Of course an aftermarket one like the one pictured above will help you.

A agree, that one isn't stock. Yes it is enough to keep the tranny cool, just run that one. I have a engine oil cooler on mine as well, but it's a manual.

Yup, like stated above, it will keep it cool. That is indeed a B&M Super Cooler.

A tranny temp gauge is not a bad idea, I plan on getting one someday after I pay for college. That is indeed an aftermarket cooler. I know that it is a B&M because mine is identical to that one. In addition, there should be some markings along the top that say B&M somewhere, if I remember correctly.

It should cool your tranny just fine, especially since you have it in front of the condenser. Because of this, you are getting 100% of the coolers cooling capacity.
