This will warm the trans much faster than the embedded exchanger which relies on the engine warming a much larger volume of fluid (coolant). This also will allow me to cap the exchanger in the radiator and quit using it.

From there the ATF goes to a stacked plate cooler (Derale, Hayden and B&M all make them). This type of cooler does the job with no thermostat because it relies on the dynamic behavior of the ATF at a given temp to govern the flow of the fluid.

So the oil-oil exchanger is in series with the ATF cooler? Is the path, Tranny Out-to-exchanger-to-cooler-to-tranny in?
