Is it worth getting a transmission cooler? Also does a tranny cooler hurt hp? I heard someone say that it does. I asked the guy at a local garage and he said it’s not worth putting one in.
no, the mechanic doesnt realize that your stang's tranny isn't like every other one he sees, yours is running 25-40 degrees higher than normal on a regular basis. He doesnt realize our crappy tranny heat exchanger core is actually in/on the side of the radiator in some cases heating up the already hot transmission fluid. Yes plz do put on a tranny cooler; and when you can, switch to Mercon V or Mobil 1 synthetic ATF. You'll thank us when you dont need a rebuild at 105k
Edit: and as for losing power
Whoever told you that a transmission cooler robs hp doesn't know what they're talking about, so I wouldn't take their advice on anything else when it comes to your Mustang.Is it worth getting a transmission cooler?

B&M 70264 cooler
Yep, that kit has everything you need. It's also one of the few things B&M makes that's worth a damn.
Nope, it should bolt right up, and the stock disptick should work fine with it. The only note of caution I will throw your way is when/if you decide to change pans be sure to reuse the stock plastic gasket. It's way better in terms of quality and durability than those cheap aftermarket gaskets a lot of companies put with their aftermarket pans.+1
I thought I was the only one who thought like that
Getting back to tranny pans, I was thinking of getting the Frpp finned pan which they say takes an extra 2 quarts or so of fluid, which is good in my book.
Does the dipstick or filter or anything else need to be changed if installing this pan?

Since no one else mentioned it, I think it's wise to inform you to only use Mercon V or superior fluid in your transmission. Stay away from base Dexron/Mercon III, and avoid "off the shelf" name companies.
