Transmission Cooler Question

I'm a So Cal native, used to drive the 91 from Anaheim Hills to the 55 to the 22 to the Block in Orange ( or what ever it is called now (17 miles and 45-60 minutes) I got you on the traffic.

BUT... the trans is supposed to run in a temperature band like the engine and if you add an external cooler you might over cool it and lower its normal operating temp. ( thermostatically controlled by-pass would be a good option) Thus making the clearances off which could actually do damage.

Engineers worked out the thermodynamics of the systems and came up with the needed cooling in most areas and conditions.

I'm not completely saying don't add a cooler, BUT as my dad used to say " The parts you don't add don't cause you no trouble" He also said "follow the KISS principle" (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Good luck to you.
