Oil Cooler, use tranny cooler?

[2000GTnoExtras]

Hey all-
I recently had to get a new radiator in my '00 GT. The replacement radiator is for an AT car. I was thinking I could get a "sandwich adapter" and plumb some oil lines into the AT cooler. My car is a standard trans.

My questions is basically: Is the AT cooler sufficient to effectively cool the oil at all? Sacramento Mustang claims the pipe is not large enough to make the job worth my effort.

Thanks!

i would maybe use it for a power steering fluid cooler, but not an engine oil cooler.

Oil coolers are usually cooled by engine coolant, I think an air/air cooler wouldn't be as effective, plus would it be able to withstand the oil volume/pressure? You wouldn't want to restrict the volume at all, this could possibly starve the engine of oil.....
