Default Does anybody have a transmission fluid cooler?

I found this interesting little device:

It's for automatics only. It's very hot here in Phoenix and I'd like to make my investment [first new car!] as rock-solid and reliable as possible.

Any thoughts?

Are you racing?? If not, this is completely unnecessary. It will keep your transmission cooler, i can guarantee that.

Yeah, I looked at the link and I don't think it's worth quite that much

What should one be priced at? 120 bucks?

If you have a manual trans, how were you planning to get the fluid to flow through the cooler?

Titan Motorsposrts has a little bit better deal on that Blitz ATC, but not by much.

Let us know if you find a different one that is less expensive.

I have one...not the pricey one just a basic get'r done type!
Easy to hook up used the plasic ties that goes throught the radiator but keep sayin I'm going to do a quick mount next time. I didn't install a gauge (like I was going to) so I can't give you before and after temps. Some times in heavy traffic during the summer the tranny was feeling a little hard shifting and it does not do that now but I also did a fluid and filter change at the same time so maybe that was it?

Here is the tranny cooler I used on my box

Get a small Hayden cooler for around 50 bucks or less. I plan on adding one this summer. Your trans can never be too cool. It also will prolong the life of the trans.
