Question Automatic tranny cooler

First off: This is my first post here at these forums. I recently bought a Blue 1994 Subaru SVX L (96k miles). I have always liked Subarus, but this car I have fallen in love with. I'm definitely proud to have the car, and to be part of this seemingly subculture-like SVX community

Anyways, I have a question about getting an aftermarket transmission cooler. Of course, the 4EAT transmission runs hot (as in every other car it's ever been in lol). I definitely want to lengthen the life of my transmission, simply because I'm a struggling 17 year-old student with 2 part-time jobs and little money to throw around. I want to invest in a cooler in the hopes that by giving my tranny more life, I can have more time to save up for that manual swap

Does anybody have any advice on where to find a fairly affordable transmission cooler, along with maybe a few installation tips? Any help would be totally rad.

Is a sub culture the green stuff on the bottom of a petri dish?

There are a gazillion posts here on that exact subject - I know, I counted them. Use the search button above ^. Many bought their coolers from Summit Racing, etc. but if you check your local parts store you may find that by the time you add in shipping it becomes pretty close to the same price. There's always www.bulkparts.com also.
