i mounted mine horizontal, so that the stock gt facia driver's side cut-out hole funnels air right at it
yeah i have since re-routed mine to an identical location
you know, it's good for it to get warm too. Overheating is the main problem, not heat in general; like when your engine is cold, you dont abuse it, same can be said for the trannyI have a [FONT=Arial, Helvetica][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Hayden Transaver Plus rated for motor homes, large trailers and 5th wheels. My transmission fluid temperature rarely gets to 150* F.

I totally agree. I had it hooked up standalone and bypassed the factory cooler. My TFT would not go past 140* in the winter. Based on many recommendations, I hooked it up with the stock cooler in series. The reason was that it would warm up the fluid. Blah! I saw no difference. The coolant in the radiator is never hot enough to warm up the transmission fluid. Now I have a very efficient cooler that feeds into a less efficient cooler. Another myth busted...

I'm considering adding a thermostat to the transmission fluid cooler. I bought one from Summit Racing that will open up at 180*.
I found this a long time ago.

I'm not using a technical name in the slightest, just describing what it is. When i was reading about how to rebuild the 4R and talking with my builder i was told how it works. It acts like a thermostat, that's all i rememberThe temps are based on what my Xcal tells me. It's whatever the PCM is using, wherever the sensor may be. I'm assuming it's in the transmission otherwise it wouldn't be too useful for the PCM.
I've never heard of a thermo-valve in the 4r70w. I guess I have to read up on it. Got some URLs?
