> Hi Ernie: The transmission cooler is completely independent of the
engine cooling radiator. The tranny cooler is located in-line after
the engine coolant leave's the radiator. It looks like a large #9 can
located between the radiator and the engine. You can take this out
and replace it or have it cleaned if necessary. It's my understand
that using harsh cleaning chemicals, hard water, wrong ph. etc can
have a very harmful effect on this somewhat small transmission
cooler. I've heard the question asked several times at some of the
bluebird rally's " What don't we have the air to coolant heat
exchanger system like most car's and smaller truck have" their answer
is always that the water to tranny fluid heat exchanger is a lot more
efficent because of the large amount of heat our tanny's generate.
I'am thinking that on my next coolant change that I'll take the
tranny cooler off and give it a good inspection....Bob Cold in
