Do you have some data to support this? I'd like to see.The tranny line going into the bottom of the radiator is the hot line. So your not getting as much cooling effect because it will heat back up a bit because of engine coolant being between 190*-205*F.

I had my aux cooler hooked up standalone. I bypassed the stock cooler. Before the mod, my Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) according to my Xcal2 would hover between 180* and 200*. After the mod, it would hover around 130*. I felt it was over cooled so I included the stock cooler in the loop. The fluid now goes from the transmission to the aux cooler to the stock cooler and back to the transmission. The theory everyone seems to talk about is that the stock cooler will warm up the fluid.
Bull****.
It didn't make a difference. Until the engine gets to 180*, the thermostat is still closed. With the thermostat closed, the coolant in the radiator is cold. Even with the thermostat open the radiator is bleeding off a lot of the heat into the airstream. I'm pumping 130* transmission fluid through a small section of the radiator. There's not enough temperature difference to make a difference.

I'm not your son, little boy.Cool your guns there son. Sorry I didn't do a in depth study on this. I don't think its too difficult to figure out though, passing a cooler liquid next to a warmer one, some heat transfer will occur once the engine is up to temp. I didn't say it was gonna boil it.
I don't even run a extra cooler on my car because its not needed in my case but Ive been told and have read that the aux. cooler should be inline after the factory cooler. Have a nice day.
If the fluid never warms up to operating temp, I don't think we would see any issues. It's just less efficient. I suppose it's like driving with a thermostat stuck open. More wear and tear. Even with my stock cooler in series, I have to do some hard driving to see 150* TFT. I had my Xcal connected at an autocross even and did my 4 laps in 2nd gear. My TFT got up to 170*.Ok, I understand what you are saying but I have had my B&M cooler after the stock cooler for 80K miles without issue. Yea my trans temps get stupid low sometimes but that is alright with me.
I'm wondering if I hooked up my trans cooler up wrong this whole time.
It's in a 2001 auto GT
I tapped the cooler into the bottom line.
The install writeup I saw in here showed the top line being used?
