Trans Cooler Question
How do most of you guys hook up your cooler. Do you still have it running through the radiator or by-passed it completely? Would bypassing the radiator make your engine run cooler? Or do you have both radiator and cooler hooked up together?

Did you read the whole thread or only that one sentence?
Do most people hook up there after market trans cooler(The one that goes in the front of the radiator/AC condenser) and still use the oem cooler(In the radiator) or just disconnect the oem cooler and just use the after market trans cooler?

I believe that most would plumb the aftermarket cooler in after the OEM at cooler. You can do it either way really.

Thanks for the link!
I was just wondering if I just ran the after market cooler alone then all the radiator would have to do was cool water and not both ATF and coolant.

I would suggest one plumb the aftermarket trans fluid cooler in AFTER the radiator as this will allow the factory rad to assume most of the cooling duties of the trans fluid while the external cooler can pick up the rest. IIRC, it is the passenger side trans hose that is the return to the transmission but I could be wrong. Might you remember, 09?

I will show some love. Here are pics of how mine is setup.
It is a Re-amemiya AT cooler (I suggest buying a cheaper one) that is custom mounted in the front. However, a BHR radiator should work well too.

No not really. I'm just happy to know some of my testing lead to this change for the better.
