A (almost) free tranny cooler?
When I asked the tranny guy to install my cooler, we had some words and he said something to the effect of using the A/C condenser since that's all that's left of my A/C system.
Should I have not got the cooler, or do I not want to use the condenser? Should I have put this in T Q+A?

Yes, and I will move it for you.
I don't think I would use the AC cooler. I would use a transmission cooler because it is designed for that. Maybe someone else will dissagree with me, but I would not do it. The money difference is not worth the chance.

I'm with Earl on this one. Among other concerns, the AC condenser is pretty big and would add considerable volume to the system. I also don't think it was designed to flow something as viscous as ATF.

Also I'm not sure hou the fluid would take to the type of metal used in the A/C condenser. It might break down the fluid or vice versa.

Hmm all very good points. I'll just use the cooler then.
