about tranny cooler
i was running my tranny lines strait to the aftermarket cooler, and i whould often check the rubber hose thats connected to get a feel of how hot it will get, well a few buddies and i was reading on here that running thru both , the radiator and cooler will cool it better,
so i changed it to that way and drove it home from work, its about 92 here in orlando running 220 and got home checked the rubber hoses and they where way hotter than b4 it felt just as hot as the radiator , so is this better ? because it was way hotter

How big is your tans cooler? Mine is pretty big, i have the trans ran directly through the cooler, its not connected to the rad at all. Today i drove 200 miles in 80* weather and when i got home the trans fluid and cooler was warm, not hot at all.
BUT i may change this in the winter to run it though the rad also so the trans doesnt run super cool all the time., It gets pretty cold here in the winter.

You could try that and see if it helps . Just go for a drive and see if it made any improvement.
BTW my old car ran hot sometimes, i added water wetter , it helped alot. Just something to think about.
