I would argue with this point for only one reason: (Remember that I have a cooler installed, so I'm not really arguing with you.) In theory a cooler helps keep the tranny cool, but that all depends on how it's installed.

Now, I have to admit that I had no research to back up my installation, but since there were two other heat-exchanging devices (radiator, AC condenser) in the same location, I figured it wasn't a bad bet.

But I question some other installations I see. Weird combos placing the stock cooler in a series with the new one, putting the cooler in the fenderwell, etc.
